Notice!!! Jeff Hatton is asking for everyone’s help with the second edition of Rodcrafting. He is trying to compile as many current rodmakers as he can for the book. If you’re like me, you’re probably thinking, “Yeah, right. He doesn’t want to talk to me.” Well, he does want to talk to you! Please contact Jeff (click here to email him), you won’t be disappointed.

On another note, Jeff told me that he has a limited number of all versions of his groundbreaking book, Rodcrafting. If you want one of these first editions, email Jeff soon!

Welcome to BambooRodmaking.com, the home of tips, tricks, contraptions and general knowledge all dedicated to the art of bamboo fly rod making. We’re sure you’ll enjoy your stay!

I think that everyone would agree that we owe a debt to Jerry Foster, who created the Rodmakers site. We should also say a big thank you to Chris Bogart for providing hosting space for the site. Also, everyone on the RODMAKERS list should say a huge “Thank you” to Mike Biondo for setting up the list and to Larry Tusoni of High Sierra Rods, where the list is hosted. Another thanks should go out to Washington University, St. Louis, who hosted the list for many years.

If you have any tips that you would like to add, feel free to contact me by clicking the contact button you see on the left border of this or any other page on the site. In the future, I’ll be adding some forms for tip submission. If we need to add categories as time goes by, we will go ahead and do it.

There is literally a wealth of information available in the RODMAKERS archive. If you haven’t already, go check it out now!
