Late July Update -
I just returned from the
7th
Annual Metolius River Fly Fishing & Bamboo Fair in Camp Sherman, Oregon.
Along with meeting a lot of great people, from fishermen (and ladies) to
makers, I was able to spend a couple days fishing the famous Metolius river.
The event was a real success with a very large turnout, and lots and lots of
rods available to cast. Being able to meet so many great people in one
weekend was a little overwhelming, but a real treat nonetheless. If
there is any way you can make it to next year's show, I would strongly
recommend it. We already have our cabin booked!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to cast rods, chat or just say hello.
My most popular rods at the show as far as action and feel were my 8'2" 6wt
SH8262 hollow, my 7'9" 5wt SH7952 hollow, and the diminutive 6'3" 3wt M6333.
Along with the rods above, I am also now making available for sale
Bamboo Tippet Spool Holders. A very
cool, and most importantly, useful addition to your fishing accessories.

For those of you who have orders that are due for completion in the next few
months, I should be fairly close to on time with your orders. I might
be a week or two late in certain cases, but I will try to be as on-time as
possible. I do need to get in some fishing time as it is coming up on
my favorite time of the year here in Alaska!
Lastly, please take a look at the newly updated Photos
pages. I have added a bunch more
Rod,
Fish and
Miscellaneous pictures as well as
some new Friends' Photos that I have
received over the past year. Some great shots and wonderful fish!
Keep 'em coming.
