American bamboo thru and thru?

or however that dang word is written! : ) Use this forum to discuss those things that are related to, directly, or indirectly, fly fishing, i.e., tackle, catalogs, single malt scotch, cigar preferences, pipes, camera gear, etc. This is sort of an off topic area but one related to bamboo and fly fishing.

American bamboo thru and thru?

#1

Post by Brooks »

Visiting my 90 yr old parents in Del Mar CA now that we’re all double vax’d. Ate breakfast at an outdoor restaurant which had some 30+ feet tall bamboo growing on the perimeter. Big appropriately-sized stalks/culms.

Which had me thinking: has anyone ever tried (successfully) to build a bamboo rod with all-American ingredients?
