Tom,
Any one doing any bamboo fly rod stuff this coming show?
Since the last show I have developed an interest in making some bamboo fly rods. You had someone last year doing a seminar...of course I missed it.

Thank you.

Larry -
If you want to see / talk about bamboo Johnny Kuehn (Angler's Roost) will be at the Expo. If you want to stop by & chat about bamboo stop by and see me --- I'll be at a Rod Builder's table (not a merchandiser / seller). If you want I'll bring a couple of completed fly rods down that you can shake.
