Welcome Makers!!! Oyster’s February 3-8 bamboo fly rod making class is underway and moving quickly this week. 💫
🥃 Randy (better known as “Randers” around these parts…yes, TPB reference) is here for his 5th class after receiving his first as a gift 🎁 from his wife for his 50th birthday. Randers, the repeat offender, is making an 8’ 7wt for an all-around freshwater rod. 🦦
🔨 Jake is here for the first time. As an avid fly fisher and woodworker, he is “bamboo curious.” He is making an 8’ 6wt. Welcome! ☺️
🤠 Jason from Texas met some Oyster students in Mexico while “fishing cane” and had to come make his own. He’s crafting an 8’ 7wt for TX Bass and Mountain Trout.
✨ Ed, from Costa Rica, started fishing at a very young age and has been fly fishing for 5 years. He’s waited years to come to our class, and we know it will be worth the wait. Ed is making a 7’ 9” 5wt. 👌🏽
🧑🧒🧒 Andy is here from SC for class #2, matching his last rod in every way possible so his two sons have matching rods. He’s making an 8’ 6wt. Thanks, Dad!
🧳 Phil is also here from Texas (Oyster ❤️ Texas) for his 2nd rod. He says what many in our classes often try to articulate: “This meticulous process is such a departure from real life…I even forget about work.” He is making Oyster’s classic 8’ 5wt.
✨ Slaaaayyyyton from Arkansas is here for class #6! Fun fact: his first class was with Randy, so they get to reunite this week. Slaton will sign up for class #7 before he leaves! He is making an 8’ 9wt.
🎁 Tony received the Oyster class as a gift for his retirement. He says he’s never cast a bamboo fly rod, but that’s about to change! Tony is making an 8’ 5wt.
⛰️ Frank bought a house right here in Blue Ridge a while back. He found Oyster on Main & said he “simply could not leave.” He’s fly fished his entire life and is making an 8’ 6wt for our Toccoa Tailwater.
Welcome y’all !
If you know you know…and if you don’t…you will by the end of the week 😂
Handcrafted for your lifetime…An heirloom for future generations
