Well, with my youngest leaving his team to be an instructor at the SF mountaineering school for three years and his brother transferring to to a college in the Colorado Springs area, I decided to purchase special Christmas gifts for them. I do not know much about bamboo fly rods, except my grandfather had one in the garage for a long time. With this in mind, I contacted Scott Nilsson of High Desert Fly Rods in Idaho. I was fortunate that Scott makes extra rods in case someone wants to buy one as a Christmas present. Scott sent me some pictures of the rods he is sending.
He hand makes about three rods every month. Hopefully, my sons will enjoy these in the years to come(and that they will not see this thread before Christmas
).
