At times we take it for granted, it's just an extension of our arm, but how much do you know about the development of your fly rod? Don Phillips gives the reader a perspective of how fly-rod technology has evolved since the earliest Chinese and Egyptian fishermen fed their families more than 2000 years before the birth of Christ. In this book, Don shares: the history, including the very first rods; fly-rod design over the years; the use of cane, metal, fiberglass, and boron and graphite; the properties of these materials; manufacturing processes for these materials; component design; patent activities over the years; casting; taper and cross-sectional geometry; and much, much more. You'll find this very detailed book hard to put down.

The bamboo fly rod still represents the pinnacle of the fly-fishing art; its apparent simplicity and delicacy belie the craftsmanship and strength that are the hallmarks of all great rods. A growing number of people have tried to learn the art of making bamboo rods from a shrinking number of secretive craftsmen. The revised and expanded Handcrafting Bamboo Fly Rods is the definitive reference for beginners and experts alike. Wayne Cattanach begins by explaining the qualities that distinguish bamboo from all other materials: It has a tensile strength akin to steel, yet it is very light. He describes the process that will take anyone from lengths of hard, raw bamboo to a beautiful finished rod with clear, step-by-step instructions and illustrations, including how to find the best supplies; select tools and materials; make heat treaters and binders; cut culms; straighten bamboo strips; plane and stagger strips; bind strips; apply finishes; mount the reel seat, ferrules, and tip-top; and much more. This is surely the most thorough book available for those who wish to make and fish their own bamboo fly rods.
