Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Some edgewear to dustjacket. Fly fishing has a long and storied history. While many flyfishermen will find and purchase their favorite fly rod, there are those who desire to go a step further. For those discerning flyfishermen and women, simply buying a rod is not enough?they must build one. And just as fly fishing is an art, so is the creation of the bamboo fly rod.Many people believe that the best-feeling rods, particularly for trout fishing, are made from bamboo, and today?s bamboo rod-making tradition is particularly indebted to one man: Everett E. Garrison. Using principles he learned as an engineering student, Garrison created an exacting method of building rod?a method that for decades was a well-kept secret. These techniques are presented to the reader in A Master?s Guide to Building a Bamboo Fly Rod Completely illustrated with black-and-white drawings and photographs, along with copious notes on the mathematical and engineering principles that underlie Garrison?s unique rod-making technique, this book will guide you through each step of creating a classic bamboo fly rod.
