Offering custom bamboo fly rods, bamboo rod making classes, and a complete assortment of traditionally styled reels, lines, and accessories,
Oyster Fine Bamboo Fly Rods is a small, family-owned business in the most classic sense.
In the mid 1800’s the hexagonal bamboo fly rod was developed and popularized by eastern anglers of the fledgling United States.
Designed in a time when things were made to last, the simple, sturdy construction of varnished bamboo creates a rod that is a true lifetime investment.
Beautiful, supple, and elegant, the American split bamboo fly rod has become the standard of fly fishing tackle by which all others are measured.
In a market flooded with enthusiast makers, Oyster Bamboo is a full-time professional business dedicated to the production of theworld’s finest fly rods.
In addition to producing custom and standard model rods, we also teach more enthusiasts (and future pros) to make fly rods than anyone else in the world.
This combined experience gives us an understanding of our product which is difficult to match.
This is not our hobby. This is not our retirement business. This is our life and livelihood. Our production and sales shop in the Appalachian mountain town of Blue Ridge, GA operates at full tilt six days a week and is open to the public Thursday - Saturday for the convenience of both the tourists in town as well as those who fish our rods.
We have the capability to customize and create almost any option imaginable, resulting in rods that are both practical to fish and appreciated as heirlooms for generations to come…
