Hey, I thought I would get this going as it’s not to late to send comments to the NOF in support of gamefish opportunities on the Stillie. I would suggest sending a note on the Wdfw site supporting your suggestions to fish cutts and steelhead. I personally screwed up my not going to the NOF...

You guys have any thoughts on timing and location. Last year’s fling was fun and I like the location at the Redmond park. I will bring new toys and new arrivals to this get together let me know what works for you guys. Tight lines

Just finished the handle and ready to put the jewelry on it. 12ft 9 inch 6/7 for a good friend should be a fun summer run rod.

I would like to thank everyone that has helped me this year with my bamboo building and wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and happy new year to all the bamboo aficionados.

Been waiting for this for awhile Red Willow 8ft 4wght 3pc Sprite Calawah special. Hopefully she sees that banks of the Elwha which was the intent of this build.

I have used this to turn baseball bats and it tried to use it for rod building components. It's free to pick up and it's heavy. Ok would recommend rewiring the plug in to the motor. When I moved the plastic coating cracked. Nothing wrong with the wiring or you could wrap it with electrical tap.

I was surprised how this year has reduced opportunities for gamefish fisheries on my local PS rivers. I proposed a change to allow us to fish and reduce impacts on chinook. I suggested floating line only and no weighted flies fly size restricted to 6 and under. No indicators and no beads or egg...

I used to jigs when I was in the woodworking trade and thought I would show some of the jigs that I use. When I first started this journey I quickly started playing around with different jigs to help make the assembly easier. I became frustrated with hand reaming the cork pieces and had realized...

I have a question about how many coats of tru oil is recommended and are there any preferences. I have built a couple Spey rods and have been happy with the finish just not sure if I’m applying enough coats.

Started my next build and just finished the final plane an scalloping today. Shooting for a 13ft 7/8 and so far things are going well, parts are straight and flat which hopefully will end up with a good rod

Awhile back I ordered some A- culms and they are not going to work for the rods I’m building. They are nice for trout rods and my focus is two handed spey rods. I don’t plan on shipping anything and it wI’ll be pick up at my place. They are 6ft culms and I’m not looking to sell all of it but I...

Big shout out to Mike Monsos for helping me get the wheels and templates for the sanding wheels. I have to makes some adjustments but ran a couple strips thru just to see how it worked and really pleased with the end result.

Just getting started I have flamed the stock and split and rough out the butt and mid section next the tips. I have a great appreciation for what it takes to build a bamboo rod. I really enjoy the journey and have a lot to learn and hope I build a good rod. But my wife is already eyeing my...
