Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Size: 11x8x1; Some edgewear to dustjacket. Fly fishing has a long and storied history. While many flyfishermen will find and purchase their favorite fly rod, there are those who desire to go a step further. For those discerning flyfishermen and women, simply buying a rod is not enough-they must build one. And just as fly fishing is an art, so is the creation of the bamboo fly rod. Many people believe that the best-feeling rods, particularly for trout fishing, are made from bamboo, and today's bamboo rod-making tradition is particularly indebted to one man: Everett E. Garrison. Using principles he learned as an engineering student, Garrison created an exacting method of building rod-a method that for decades was a well-kept secret. These techniques are presented to the reader in A Master's Guide to Building a Bamboo Fly Rod Completely illustrated with black-and-white drawings and photographs, along with copious notes on the mathematical and engineering principles that underlie Garrison's unique rod-making technique, this book will guide you through each step of creating a classic bamboo fly rod. By unanimous agreement, this is simply the best work on the subject-the definitive book. Mr. Garrison, a mechanical engineer by training, built perhaps the finest rods ever-and describes how it's done. He died before the book was first published (in 1977) though his protege, Hoagy B. Carmichael, completed it and brought it to publication. Essential reading for all who admire fine bamboo rods.
