One of the most influential works ever published on the craft of bamboo fly rodmaking, A Master's Guide to Building a Bamboo Fly Rod remains an essential reference for rodmakers, collectors, and students of the American bamboo tradition.
Everett Garrison was among the most respected American bamboo rodmakers of the twentieth century, celebrated for his exacting methods, mathematical approach to rod design, and uncompromising standards of craftsmanship. Working with Hoagy B. Carmichael, his knowledge and techniques were preserved in a book that has become a cornerstone of modern bamboo rodmaking literature.
The work explores the principles and practical methods of constructing a split-cane fly rod, including taper design, bamboo preparation, tools, ferrules, fittings, and finishing. Richly illustrated, it offers a rare insight into the methods of one of the great masters of the craft.
This copy is the 1985 Winchester Press edition, bound in cloth and accompanied by its original dust jacket. The book is in near fine condition, remaining tight, clean, and well preserved. The dust jacket is in good condition, with some edge wear and minor nicks.
A distinguished addition to any collection of classic American angling literature, and a particularly fitting companion to a fine bamboo fly rod.
