Hello from Elko

Post by rogerblong »

My name is Roger Long. I just built my first bamboo fly rod from scratch and I caught the bug. I will b experimenting with making nodeless strips over the next few weeks. Any tips or inspiration members can give me on building nodeless would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
Pull up a chair and join in the fun.

Take the time to clean, then add lubrication.

Hi Roger.
The only Elko I know of is in the great state of Nevada. The land of few rivers but great lake fishing. Beautiful country.
Looking forward to your posts.

Hello Roger,

There have not been many responses about nodeless building. I build exclusively nodeless and do some things differently from how others do, so please feel free to communicate on here or by pm.

I can now cut 24 scarfs in under 9 minutes.

Paul.
