We teach more new bamboo fly rod makers every year than anyone else, and our experience will show in YOUR finished fly rod

Each year would-be craftsman travel from around the world to study
with the most prolific teacher of rod making working today.
Let Oyster guide you through the
process of creating your very own custom bamboo rod.  
Each student works at their own solid maple workbench which is outfitted
with an arsenal of the highest quality tools, such as 
Lie-Nielson planes and Bellinger planing forms.
In fact, these are the very same tools and methods used to
create every Oyster bamboo rod.
