Nearly mid-Summer, our shop is as busy as ever... both new rod builds and catching up on repair/restoration projects.   We've also managed to catch a few stripers locally and some fat shad.  Using a 6-wt. 2-handed bamboo rod is a lot of fun. In addition, our rod-building workshops are very popular, again, and we are nearly filled up for this year.  We even have one student from the U.K. who booked a week in April 2024. If you want to build your own cane rod this year, please don't hesitate to contact us.  
Our next show will be August 12th at the American Museum of Fly Fishing in Manchester, VT.  This is their annual Festival Weekend, and we will have a table there with a display of our new rods as well as some vintage bamboo rods for sale too.  
Remember, "Friends don't let friends fish graphite"... Fish Bamboo!
