Rick Robbins, bamboo rod maker extraordinaire from Lexington, Virginia, spent a couple of days with Mary Ann and I here in Stanley, Idaho this week. Wow, what a wealth of knowledge around taper designs and rod making.  He also sure showed me a thing-or-two about fishing ant patterns.  We got to fish yesterday at my favorite creek, and while we didn’t land too many fish, we sure had a terrific time.  Here are the two rod makers:
