Fishing Bamboo: An Angler's Passion for the Traditional Fly Rod

For many anglers, mastering a graphite rod is just the beginning. As they explore the world of fly-fishing, they often find themselves drawn to the traditional method of using a pliant bamboo rod. Once the dominant choice, bamboo rods were largely replaced by fiberglass and graphite in the mid-twentieth century. However, with the resurgence of interest in these traditional rods, anglers are now seeking to experience the unique characteristics they offer.

In this book, John Gierach provides a comprehensive guide to the art of fishing with bamboo rods. He explains how these rods are built, how they differ from graphite rods, and how using one will change a fly fisher's approach to the sport. With this knowledge, anglers can unlock the full potential of bamboo rods and take their fly-casting skills to the next level.
