In the News: An Uncle's Fly Rod

We often get largely unreadable love letters to bamboo fly rods. There is something about cane rods than lead seemingly normal people to purple their prose until it would make a Victorian girl blush. Sometimes, however, you find a little gem amid the overly verbose writings on bamboo, like this nice piece by Tim Talevich, published last weekend in the Seattle Times. It's short and to the point, and sentimental without being sappy. It's well worth a read.
