CUSTOM BAMBOO & SPLIT CANE FLY RODS
Why choose to fish with a Bamboo Fly Rod
As a fly fishermen you have already made a conscious decision that how you choose to catch fish is more important than merely catching them.
Choosing to fish with split cane fly rods by Chris Clemes, is about how they connect you to the tradition and heritage of our pursuit. If you retreat from the bustle of the city, to seek refuge in the peace and tranquillity that rivers offer. If you find a secret enjoyment in the preparation and care of your fly rod, line and gear, and appreciate the skill and craftsmanship in their creation. If you take the time to observe the river and your surroundings, the insect life, fishy lies and subtle rises, before making your first cast. If you prefer a rod that has substance and will never be outdated over the mass produced. This is the essence of traditional split cane fly fishing.

Split cane fly rods, also known as bamboo fly rods, are often viewed as beautiful keepsakes, too often stored behind glass cases and admired rather than fished with. However those that have fished with them, know that this could never be farther from the truth.
