“The engraving on the very first fly rod I got to make in bamboo was for our dog: Brie, who recently passed away. She was my everything—dog, my biking dog, and fishing dog.
What she would do every time we went fishing is she would stand right between my legs next to me until the fish was on, and then she would tuck up really close, and as soon as the fish was in hand, she had to make sure it was of appropriate quality, give it a little sniff, and a nice little boop. My wife and I’s first Oyster Bamboo fly rod; we each had the same endcap in commemoration of Brie, the fishing dog.”
“Even though she’s no longer with us, she still gets to boop all the fishies with our Oyster fly rods.”
