Bluegill and Bamboo

This past week was an exciting one for me. A couple of years ago I bought some bamboo rod blanks at a rod building show with every intention of putting together my very own bamboo rod. After a couple of years, I realized that I had no intention of really getting into rod building so I sent the blanks off to my friend Mike at Cane and Silk to get the rod put together. Well as I said, this week was exciting because I got the rod back and it sure was worth the wait. There will be a post later on just on the rod with some nice pictures but here is my first experience with bamboo.

A chilly mid 50's morning

Such a good feel in the hand


The first victim


Cause I'm special!


An unexpected Black Crappie


 



Hunter with a trophy stick fish

Getting the hang of it


Most productive water of the morning

Cloudy and cool

Ending on a good note.
