Rod Building - your first time
February 18 through March 11, 2019
This was a series of informal, hands-on sessions that resulted in a spinning or fly rod, assembled and finished by those who took part.
These sessions were open only to current members of the TRAA, WOFGPA and/or FCFFC (just one more reason to support your local clubs!)
We all had a great time learning and are now catching fish on a rod we crafted ourselves!
Here are the Session Plans, some Instruction Sheets and Videos for those of you who missed out but are still curious:
