Spend six unforgettable days learning the timeless craft of bamboo fly rod making with PJ Dufour, master rodsmith. Transform a hand-selected culm of Tonkin bamboo into a custom fly rod designed around your fishing style and personal aesthetic. Along the way, you will learn the traditional processes of torching, splitting, hand-planning, gluing, finishing and assembling your rod with guidance from experienced rod builders.
Limited to only four participants, this immersive class offers plenty of individual instruction. No previous woodworking or rod-building experience is required. You will leave Pagosa Springs with a handcrafted bamboo fly rod, an understanding of the craftsmanship behind it and an heirloom your family can fish with for generations.
