Early May update

We're having a wet spell right now which should help our groundwater supply improve this year.  Rivers and creeks are full but fishable, and we are hearing nice reports of trout being caught around Maine and other New England rivers.  Many people are contacting us for repair work on their vintage rods.  However, our backlog of new rods to build takes priority so we are not accepting repair/restoration work right now.  If that changes, we will post it on this site.  In addition, we will be listing more rods for sale: some on consignment from friends, and others that have belonged to me.  There isn't enough time to fish all the rods we've accumulated over the years, so some very good rods are available.  Be sure to check the "Offerings" section for more vintage tackle for sale...
Now, off to a few choice fishing spots with bamboo rods in hand.  Tight lines to all ...
