The Book
Posted by: Tom Kirkman (Moderator)

At the conclusion of the 2010 International Custom Rod Building Exposition, Rich Forhan left a book in my possession. It contained his personal notes on many years of experiments, observations, etc., on fishing and rod building. As we move towards the fall of this year, I will begin publishing selected excerpts and data from the book in RodMaker Magazine, as they pertain to rod building.
