In this episode we Wadeoutthere with Jory Ward from Wellsville, Utah. Jory learned to fish while building fence with his father and grandfather in the Rocky Mountains as a child.
When he moved to Utah, he reconnected with fly fishing when he saw a bamboo fly rod hanging in a fly shop, and decided to build one.
In Part 2 of our discussion, Jory explains the process he's developed for building his beautiful bamboo fly rods, as well as several tips, techniques, and resources for anyone interested in creating this special part of fly fishing history for themselves.
To find out more about how Jory builds bamboo fly rods, order a custom built rod, or follow along on his fly fishing adventure reach out to Jory at his email:
