I would also point out to the bamboo rod folks that the
Metolius Bamboo Rod and Fly Fishing Fair will be held Saturday & Sunday, July 17 & 18, 2010 in Camp Sherman, OR. This is just up the road from Keith Kearchers place and right next to the epic Metolius River. That time of year, nice summer mountain weather is all but guaranteed . Visitors can talk with bamboo rod builders, view examples of their work, and have the opportunity to cast a couple hundred bamboo rods. New and old rods are available for purchase at the show, or you can special order one from a builder. Contact: Camp Sherman Store, 541-595-6711 or e-mail:
