I am an Electrician with Anheuser-Busch and have a small rod repair shop I an just getting into the fly fishing part of angling. For years I made saltwater rods and fished saltwater Now old bamboo rods fascinate me. I have started to use my knowladge of rod building to recondition old bamboo rods as well as build new fly rods.

Wow, building rods seems to attract a very interesting group of fellas! I am a journeyman plumber living in Westminster California, and if any of you guys are near me shoot me a PM and maybe we can go hit the water sometime.

I'm a software engineer from central Maryland. Just joined the forum today, although I've known about it for some time. I've been fishing cane for a few years now, and am looking forward to learning more.

I'm a wastewater treatment plant operator living in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and I am willing to take some credit for the large, healthy trout living downstream from the wastewater plant. I like my Phillipson Pacemakers and am always looking for another.

I've been enjoying the posts on this forum for quite some time but have never got around to posting under this section.
I'm a civil engineer and live in the central Kentucky area.

I just got the bamboo bug within the last couple of years -- wish it had been sooner as I own just one cane rod but I have two others on order. I foresee that more of my plastic rods may get sold.

Hi!
Found this board yesterday & my iPhone running on fumes... Recently (very) started fishing some bamboo. Live on a lake (mainly plants - but an occasional brownie). Love fishing the Yakima & the methow and can't resist the Snoqualmie since it's so close. Recently picked up a Wagner patriot 4wt which I love so far. I'd like to pick up a 5wt 8+' next- any opinions or suggestions welcome. I work in HR for a biotech co that develops cancer therapies.

Hi floks,
Worked in the grocery business since 69 and have fly fished since 63. Born and raised in Illinois on the Hennipin canal ctting my teeth on small mouthed bass, bluegills and sunnies. Moved into the drifless area of Minnesota in 96 and have fallen in love with Root River tributaries! Lots of aggressive browns and beautiful browns. I make trips out to the north cascades two to three times a year to fish the Metow river. Enjoyed fishing...

Hi,
I'm an aging hippy folk singer from Bainbridge Island, WA
I found this site when trying to find out more information on a rod I acquired.
The rod is a beauty; 7-1/2' in just lovely condition. Two unbent tips, and a scruffy sock and aluminum tube.
The only identifying marks on it are Vom Hofe and on the other side, "Universal"
I have fished the rod with an old Orvis Battenkill with a double taper 5 weight, which doesn't seem to over load the...

Hi Brian, I live very close to the River Blyth in Bedlington, Northumberland. I fish it with a 6' sage which is great fun. Also a 1 mile stretch of the coquet which was just starting to get some sea trout coming through just before I hurt my back I caught a lovely 1 lb 12 oz Brownie a couple of weeks back, which is decent for the coquet.. I can't see me being fit for Ladykirk next week.It is near Norham and usually a good low water beat, although the Tweed has been very poor so far...

Northumberland, welcome to the forum, sorry to hear about the back.
Whereabouts are you? Lovely county.
I wish you luck at Ladykirk, is that section tidal?
We expect photos!

Gentleman,

Some of us know each other, but the vast majority of us are seperated by too many miles and too much geography to get to know each other better.

So, what do y'all do for a living and where do you live?

I am an AutoCADD Tech in an architectural firm and live in a small town east of Dallas, where unfortunately, I work. All things being equal, I'd rather live in the Durango CO. area.

Peace,
Steve
