Rods on hand

No one ever said it better than Norman Maclean, "In our family, there was no clear line between religion and flyfishing." For me, that is certainly true. I am a former minister who builds bamboo rods and fishes with them. Handcrafting fine bamboo fly rods one at a time in my small garage workshop is more than a hobby, more than a labor of love-- it is almost a spiritual experience. John Gierach says it well in his wonderful book, "Trout Bum," "...fly fishing is a sport in which fish are caught properly only in a certain way, often against all odds, and using rods made from a weird kind of grass that grows in China... it somehow seems appropriate." 

Thank you for visiting my web site. I hope you enjoy your stay, and I appreciate your patience as I have changed things around quite a bit lately, addding the rodmaking section, testimonials, new images and new pages.  If you have any questions, please email me, or call me at (318)435-2278 and I will be glad to discuss them with you.
