Beautiful pictures !!! Love that Bamboo Rod. I am still in the midst of refinishing my Rod Blank I received from Mike Shay as a prize for short story a few years ago. It has wet my appetite to build some when I get the money. With my Mom passing away, and my Dad not too far behind, it makes me realize how short this time is on Earth. I would like to leave some of my family some things made with my two hands that they can pass down. A good box of Flies and a Custom made Split Bamboo Fly Rod is a perfect to leave your family members !!!
