Bamboo Rods

Tiadaghton Headwaters ~”Francis Branch”
6’3’’ 2pc. # 4/5 line. Two Tips. Powder coated rod tube and sock included. Priced at $1,350.00

This is a very sweet rod to fish. It‘s a taper which I came up with that has the influences of the Late, Master Maker ~ Lyle Dickerson. The rod handles nice fish well; it presents to the awaiting trout its offering with a grace & elegance one would only expect from a fine Bamboo fly rod. The rod loads up very nice and throws more line than you could imagine; or require of it. The rod is great fishing in close and in tight quarters, it is a target hitter, and it is also amazing the long distances this rod could achieve. This little rod is a powerful one and will result in many hours of enjoyment as you stalk your favorite stream in search of Wild Trout. I’ve tested this rod by dry casting, as I do with every rod I make. My lines of choice are Cortland Sylk, WF Rocket Taper lines weights #4 and #5 and Lee Wulff, WF Long Belly lines in weights # 4 and 5. The rod will also cast a DT or TT #4 or #5 line.

Head Waters Gem ~ # 4/5 line
6’’8’’ 2 pc. # 4/5 line. Two Tips. Powder coated rod tube and sock included. Priced at $1,350.00

This is an excellent rod taper that will make a fine companion for you, in your journeys on the water. This rod design was based off an F.E. Thomas taper to which I made some subtle changes, including adding to its length. It is a beautifully crafted rod which I've dubbed the "Head Waters Gem". It is a very sweet Trout rod that will add hours of pleasure to your day on the water. The rod has amazing casting capabilities and it delivers the fly delicately and with the precision expected of a fine cane rod. I’ve tested this rod by dry casting, as I do with every rod I make. My lines of choice are Cortland Sylk, WF Rocket Taper lines weights #4 and #5 and Lee Wulff, WF Long Belly lines in weights # 4 and 5. The rod will also cast a DT or TT #4 or #5 line.

Tiadaghton Forest ~”Manor Falls’’
7’0’’ 2 pc. #4/5 line, Single Tip Rod. Powder coated rod tube and sock included. Priced at $1,050.00

This is a rod which was inspired by the Late Master Maker, Jim Payne and the Payne 98. The Manor Falls rod will exceed your expectations day in and day out; and it is surely a rod you will treasure. If you’ve noticed a lack of words here it is because this rod taper simply speaks for itself. Enjoy !

I sometimes will make single tip rods simply as a convenience to the consumer; naturally they are less costly and perhaps more affordable to you. My thinking is that when a couple Hundred Dollars is better off in your pocket; or maybe you have a desire to upgrade equipment to get a quality reel and line, but getting that 2 tip rod won’t allow it, the single tip rods just might be right for you. It would be foolish of me to not offer such rods.

Never fear. Should you have a catastrophic event; I can make you a new tip section for your rod because I know the taper.

Tiadaghton Forest ~”Cedar Run”
7’4’’ 2 pc. #4 line. Single Tip Rod, Powder coated tube and rod sock included. *Priced at $1,095.00

Special attention is called to the fine Scarlet wraps which accentuate the Java Brown wraps throughout the rods length; they really make this cane rod stand out among others. *Because of the special detail work, the rod has several more hours involved in its creation, so a small adjustment was made to pricing. This rods taper has the influences of the Late Master Maker, Paul H. Young. This is a very delightful rod to fish and I am certain you will become captivated as you get to know this beauty. It is a fine 4 weight rod.

Tiadaghton Forest ~”The Pine Creek Angler”
8’6’’ 2pc. #5 Line. Two Tips. Powder coated tube and rod sock included. Priced at $1,350.00

I enjoy Lyle Dickerson’s work and it comes alive in “The Pine Creek Angler”. When I decided to do a Tiadaghton Forest tribute in my Penn’s Woods Edition, I thought for certain that a Eight foot Six inch rod was not only needed here, but that it would also be well received by Anglers. In my needing a trout rod for bigger waters; and needing a rod capable carrying a long line to the selective population, I thought to look through Mr. Dickerson’s eyes for inspiration. A strong and powerful 5 weight rod which I have tested with a Cortland Sylk, WF Rocket Taper Fly Line. This rod is sure to be a treasured family heirloom; to be handed down to the next Fly Fishing Angler in your family.

Note: The designated line weights assigned to each of my rods are as I feel them to be; and taken into account are my casting style and ability. Everyone has a different casting style, and for this reason you may prefer one line weight over another. I have personally cast each of these specific rods and give you my fair assessment in the ability of the rod as I personally feel it to be.
