I met a great father/son team when I was at the IFFF Fly Fishing Fair last week in Livingston.  Mark and Cooper were very excited to hear about bamboo fly rods so I gave Cooper the chance to cast one of my fly rods.  He certainly had experience with graphite fly rods and had great casting skills.  Once I got him to slow down his tempo a little, he discovered the magic of bamboo.  His response was, “Wow, I can feel it bend all the way down into the cork grip.”  Here are a couple of photos of him trying out my rods.

He had a great casting style.
