back to Education overviewIntroduction to Rod Building
Course Description
- Once each year, Clark-Skamania Flyfishers offers a class titled Introduction to Rod Building. The class, under the leadership of Ralph Randall and Kuni Masuda, is offered exclusively to members (note: non-members are always welcome to join the club) and provides students with several hours of rod building instruction by one of the region's most experienced craftsmen. Students receive one-on-one instruction each week that results in a more complete understanding of the art of rod building and the added pleasure of owning a fine fly rod for much less than it would cost if purchased commercially.
Cost and Class Size
- Introduction to Rod Building meets once a week over a period of several weeks. There is no fee. However, in order to provide the best possible learning environment, space is limited to 20 students and is filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. See the Club's Calendar Page for the date of the next class and contact information.
What You Need to Bring
- If you are interested in taking this course, contact Mr. Randall to discuss the various blanks and components that are available, or, thanks to club member Dave Lyons, you may peruse the Angler's Workshop catalog or any other source to determine which supplies you will want to use. A list of required parts will be compiled and distributed to each student before the start of the class.
