Back to Basics

Is is all about the Experience

As life on earth gets faster and faster and seemingly more and more complicated, many people seek out nature and the outdoors for recreational therapy. There is a certain appeal to shedding the lap top and cell phone, and getting back to basics with nature. Millions and millions of people enjoy outdoor activities, but some prefer to take it to the next level. Bowhunters love the added challenge and closeness with nature that their sport brings. Backpackers enjoy the simplicity of the woods and subscribe to a "less is more" philosophy. Some fly fisherman thrive on the beauty of the mountains, running water, and fooling painted fish with personalized flys made from animal hair.  Try and experience the outdoors a tad more primitive as our early ancestors once did and you'll find a whole new level of enjoyment.

Bamboo makes a perfect fishing pole. It is tapered, strong, and beautiful. For this reason fisherman have been using it for hundreds of years. Even today some hand crafted bamboo fly fishing rods cost upward of $3000. But the reason you should fish with bamboo is not for the craftsmanship or novelty...."it is all about the experience". There is something about fishing with a stick made from mother earth that takes you back to the basics. Fishing, like hunting and all outdoor activities, are more about the feeling and experience of the woods, water and nature than anything else. It is therapy for the soul. A bamboo fishing pole gets you closer to all of those things you love.  

Primitive fishing adds to your experience
