Classes.  It was my good fortune to get my start in rodmaking through a course with the late George Maurer.  Those hours spent in his shop helped me get off to the best possible start as a rodmaker.  If the idea of making your own bamboo fly rod appeals to you, I would be honored to help you get started.  I will break down the entire process into easily learned steps.  Each class is tailored to the individual student.  You will receive one-on-one training and learn at your own pace.  This class takes approximately 50 hours of shop time to complete.  This can be achieved in one of two ways: (1) Spread out over several weeks, or (2) Concentrated into a one-week period.
