    I love VOF. My mom & dad used to go to Vegas all the time. My mom loved playing slots for hours on end, but my dad and I were bored to tears with gamboling, so we would always drive out to the VOF to explore. It's such an incredible place. Did you see "Mouse's tank"? I also used to go on...

    Bamboo Fling 2024

    That would be my preference, also. Years ago I went to the Bamboo Rodmakers gatherings a couple of times on the Metolius River and it was really nice to be able to fish. One day, maybe.

    Past Bamboo Gatherings

    All of us drew a blank on him that day. He was a bamboo rodmaker from Oregon who just happened to be up there fishing at Hancock the same day we were. Seems a little coincidental, but that's what I recall.

    Past Bamboo Gatherings

    It looks like I'll be out of the country during this summer's bamboo rod gathering. That being the case, I thought I would post some photos of one of the first bamboo rod gatherings I ever attended. These photos were taken in May of 2009, at Hancock Lake. There weren't that many of us, but usual...

    Youngs Pattern 1?

    Boy and how, that's a loss to the silk line world. I might follow your suggestions.

    Youngs Pattern 1?

    I think Tim, Mike and others used Reed's method to strip and refinish some Zhu lines several years ago.

    Youngs Pattern 1?

    Agree wholeheartedly with Reed's instructions.

    Youngs Pattern 1?

    Dave, one of my favorite silk lines is an old level line I found on an ancient automatic fly reel. It's of a thinner diameter than my 5Dt silk lines so I'm thinking it's possibly a 4wt line. I works great on small streams where I use it on a 7ft 4wt bamboo rod.

    More Acquisitions: Two Phillipson Rods and a Silk Line

    Wish I could convince my wife of that.

    More Acquisitions: Two Phillipson Rods and a Silk Line

    Gus, I think it's an acquired taste. Even bamboo guys differ on silk vs. plastic. For me, the sheer joy in fishing a silk line more than makes up for hassles in maintenance, For the record, my dad and his brother both hated silk lines and were happy that more modern lines had become available.
