The Times Luxury named the Chris Clemes Split Cane Fly Rod alongside Hermès, Hardy and Orvis in their guide to the finest fishing gear available today. Each rod is hand split and planed in our English workshop using the finest aged Tonkin bamboo, finished by hand and built to be fished for generations.
