I can't wait to hit the streams and beaver ponds around the camp after some native Brooktrout my favorite kind of fishing with my new bamboo fly rod.

Did you know bamboo is actually a member of the grass family?

Did you know bamboo is actually a member of the grass family?

So if it doesn't catch fish you can smoke it?

It does look really nice.

Golly does that ever bring back memories.  I grew up with a bamboo fly rod that my dad bought new for me, one like his.  Caught a LOT of rainbow trout, crappies, bullhead catfish, small bass and bluegills with that thing.

Bamboo is an exceptionally strong, natural building material with a higher tensile strength than many steel alloys (up to 28,000 psi) and a higher compressive strength than concrete. As a fibrous, flexible material, it is three times stronger than most timber, making it ideal for construction, flooring, and structural applications.

The new one is a delicate lass, 7 foot, 4 weight, light as a feather.
