Presented by: Fly Fish with me Utah, Jackson Hole Fly Company, TroutRoutes
For more than a century, bamboo fly rods have been built from the same bamboo. It was accepted as tradition, rarely questioned, and almost never tested.
Peer Doering-Arjes decided to test it.
Instead of relying on history or feel, he approached bamboo like a scientific problem. He traveled through Vietnam and China, worked with botanists and universities, and ran controlled tests on hundreds of bamboo samples. He measured strength, flexibility, and durability the same way engineers test modern materials.
What he found led to a different bamboo species that is lighter, easier to work with, and especially interesting for modern and two-handed bamboo rods. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/885
