BCFF Rod Building Class
BC Flyfishers is once again conducting a Fly Rod Building Class at the West Endicott Fire Station, 113 N. Page Ave., 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM, three Saturday in January 2025 (Dates to be announced later). Cost $25.00 payable at first class. Participants will need to provide their own rod kits. Several places are listed at the bottom of this announcement where they may be purchased.
For the Club to move ahead with instructor and facility commitments we would like to hear from all interested participants as soon as possible and/or no later than 12/21/20025. Contact us at: bcflyfishers@yahoo.com
The instructor will be Joe Swam, a professional rod builder specializing in bamboo fly rods. Joe will provide the thread wrapping tools, epoxy, glues, and varnishes for use during the class. Participants will provide their rod blanks, handle, reel seat, guides and thread.
Choosing a rod kit can be a bit confusing. For first time builders, selecting a rod for pan fish or trout (2 to 6wt) is a good choice. Some kits offer epoxy/glues for an additional price, which, are not needed for this class. The lead time on ordering your kit is important as some delivery times range from 10 days to three weeks.
Bob Bruns is happy to assist anyone in choosing a kit as the choices can be somewhat overwhelming. You can contact Bob via e-mail stflyfisher@gmail.com or Cell Phone (607) 321-3205. There are many experienced Club members who would also be happy to assist anyone who is considering their first rod building project.
