Chris Clemes a Day on the Avon with Chalkstreamfly

Come join us on one of the most famous English Chalkstreams, the River Avon. As Chris Clemes talks about what makes split cane fly rods so special.

We understand that a split cane fly rod is a highly personal item and one which we are sure will soon become your favourite fishing companion. Each of our custom fly rods are hand split, planed and finished in the English tradition by our experienced rod makers. Most importantly each custom rod which leaves our workshops is built to be fished, and to last for many years to come.

Split cane fly rods, also known as bamboo fly rods, are often viewed as beautiful keepsakes, too often stored behind glass cases and admired rather than fished with. However those that have fished with them, know that this could never be farther from the truth.
