Fishing Bamboo : An Angler's Passion for the Traditional Fly Rod Hardback
by John Gierach
Hardback
Description
Once an angler masters a graphite rod, his interests often move on to the original fly rod, pliant bamboo.
Until the mid-twentieth century, nearly all fly rods were bamboo.
By the 1970s, fiberglass and graphite changed the world of fly-fishing.
But more and more anglers are seeing bamboo rods in retail outlets, and want to give them a try.
With this book, John Gierach, one of the nation’s top fly-fishing writers, provides a philosophical guide to the angler who seeks this new “old” method.
Gierach discusses how bamboo rods are built, how they differ from graphite rods, and how using one will change a fly fisher’s approach to the sport.
Fishing bamboo might be the pinnacle of fly-casting skill, and this book will help take you there.
