Have not had much of a chance to fish mine this year...seems like every time I get to the stream it has been high and off color. Every one knows bamboo is for drys not nymphs! ;D
A day of fishing my bamboo rod always seems just a bit more relaxing to me...and the feel of a fish fighting on one is sooo much different than graphite.
I only have the one rod (so far anyway!)made by Bill Taylor in Boiling Springs...an excellent young rodmaker. I have not been bitten by the bug as bad as some people I know.
I am looking forward to some nice crisp fall days on the stream with mine.....Jason
