Immerse yourself in the art of crafting your own personalized bamboo fly rod under the guidance of an expert rodsmith in a six-day workshop. Situated in the picturesque location of downtown Pagosa Springs, Colorado, nestled by the San Juan River, this course provides not just an educational journey, but week full of memories.

With this course, you'd be creating a distinctive, two-piece, one-tip bamboo fly rod of your preferred weight between a three weight to eight weight. Personalize it further by choosing your desirable agate stripping guide, reel seat spacer, and grip type and size. We, at PJ's Fine Bamboo Rods, take pride in equipping you with premium quality tools and materials required to build this masterpiece.

Additionally, upon finishing the course, you will not only leave with your rod that symbolizes your dedication and skill but also receive an organic hemp rod sock, a high-quality rod tube, and a shop apron to commemorate this rewarding experience.

Securing your spot for this unique adventure is easy. A deposit of $500 is needed at the time of registration, followed by the remaining fee of $2,295 due two months before the class commences. You can choose to pay via our website or opt for a recurring invoice for payments. For alternative payment methods or any other queries, feel free to contact Rosanna at (303) 818-3470.

Do note that the workshop will require six dedicated days for you to successfully craft your fly rod.
