Just wasting some time in work and came across this tip for drying your dry flies.

"Drying the fly: After catching a fish, the fly needs to be cleaned and dried. To dry it, in place of the amadou patch, use a feminine sanitary pad ( thin one), by design, they have excellent absorbency and the right size. To dry the fly , place it on the surface, fold the pad, wait a few second, it's done."

Needless to say,: i now never go dry fly fishing without a pack of TENA Lady!

i think i'll stick with useing amadou pads

ray mears way is just collect your own amadou, grows anywhere north of aberfoyle, takes a bit of digging out from the fungus bracket though

What ever floats your boat mate, just hope nobody gets the wrong idea about you!
