Join dozens of rod makers who have learned to make a split bamboo rod under the direction of angler craftsman ron barch.
A bamboo fly rod is made of six strips of bamboo glued together to form hexagon photo below.
The strips are triangular in cross section and since the rod tapers from handle to tip the triangular strips taper too the triangle is bigger at one end of the strip than the other.
All classes are tailored to each individual and include instruction tools and materials.
I think that everyone would agree that we owe a debt to jerry foster who created the rodmakers site.
This is a step by step look at the process of making a split bamboo fly rod.
