Hello all,
I am so happy to be here and learn from each of you. What got me here are a couple of old bamboo fly rods that I purchased many years ago at an antique store, and now it’s time for me to restore at least one of them. I am hoping to get some tips, tricks and good old fashioned advice along the way.
