If you're not familiar with Project Healing Waters, they are a non-profit organization that is dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and veterans through fly fishing and fly tying education and outings. I'm proud to have been helping this group out since early in it's existence & am in awe of how fast it's grown through the dedicated, selfless work of so many good people. Please, if you have the means, help PHW in anyway you can.
Earlier this year, I was honored to make & donate this rod to Project Healing Waters. It's a 5 weight, 7' - 6", 2 pc / 2 tip wood mortised bamboo fly rod, custom made for Project Healing Waters. It features a cork grip & a small feather inlay where the wood splicing begins just above the grip. Chrome line guides, a down-locking twelve strip cap & ring reel seat, & light brown silk wrappings all help give this rod a distinguished look. In addition to being inscribed for PHW, this rod also came in an embellished rod bag & a custom square rod tube inscribed in ink with the group's name on it. The custom rod tube featured wooden end caps with leather embellishments & a leather strap & buckle closure. I was very proud of how the rod turned out. I not only enjoy making & fishing with them, but also the historical aspects of wood-mortised bamboo fly rods. (click on any of these three photos below for a better look) This rod was auctioned off at the group's annual 2-fly tournament this past April to help raise funds for all the good work they do. I was very proud & honored to be able to help this fine organization.
