This past year was all about getting caught up on the backlog of custom rod orderes. This backlog came from an increased demand for fly rods & the ripple effect of the delays caused by the supply chain issues from a couple years ago. After working some long hours, often seven days a week, I was able to make up some serious ground on the rod orders. I'm almost caught up & hopefully will have the rod making schedule back to "normal" in the first part of the new year.
There were rods leaving the shop every month, on their way to their new owners. I was honored to make some really nice bamboo, graphite, & fiberglass rods this past year. Here is just a sampling of some of the bamboo rods that I made this past year:
I was also given the privilege to make a number of special leather accessories for folks, too. Again, there's too many to list but here are just a few, like these D-block reel cases:
looking forward:
new products & more to come:

And now on to the new year. I'm very excited to get started!
