  1. Thanks again for all of the great input. They cost me a bottle of scotch and we were both happy.
  2. Bamboo rods have a nostaglia about them that romanticizes the whole sport of fly fishing when simpler times existed. I have not had the good fortune of casting a bamboo rod (especially a quality one) but it certainly evokes an image of fly fishing in the past. Thanks for your response, Lorence.
  3. Thanks everyone for all of the input.
  4. Hello I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice regarding bamboo rods. A non fishing friend of mine was given 2 bamboo fly rods and said they were mine for whatever I determined to be a fair price.The name on the wooden box is International Fishing Tackle Port Colbert but there isn't a name on the rods. I have researched the brand but nothing comes up. In fact the closest that I can determine to be the location of the brand is a town in France. I have read articles on how to evaluate bamboo rods but I am no wiser regarding the relative value of these rods. Searches on websites have produced a range of prices, which is not helpful in determining the value of these rods. I haven't tried casting them which I realize might be helpful. Is there anything that anyone can suggest to help me determine the value of these rods? Thanks Mike
  5. Incredible fish. Thanks for the pics.
  6. It was a great day trying out the different rods. Now I realize why it is so easy to get hooked on the big rods. Thanks for organizing it Greg.
  7. Another memorable experience for you, Glen.Thanks for sharing it with us.
  8. Thanks for the great pics Glen. I imagine that you have not had to resort to the worm yet.
  9. It was a great day. As we found out yesterday the worm ruled.
  10. Great pics.Nice to meet you yesterday.
  11. I found a net at Fish Creek near the boat launch on Thurs Aug 30 in the evening. Pm me to claim it.
  12. I have a TFO 10 ft. 6 wt. and it makes mending on the river a lot easier. It also is great in a belly boat. The TFO warranty is topnotch.
