Calvary Outfitters - July Meeting Notes

Thursday night at Calvary Outfitters was a Night of Bamboo. Leo deMonbreun did an outstanding job showing the progression of the making of a bamboo rod. Leo started with the bamboo harvest in China and finished with the product and how good bamboo performs on the river. He educated the group on everything from reel seats to tips while covering the entire process of making a handmade bamboo rod. Several members of Calvary Outfitters own and fish bamboo, while others have an interest in future trips to the river with their own cane rod one day.

Calvary Outfitters has become an informative once a month stop for local anglers to meet and talk about fly fishing in a Christian based setting. Next month we are looking forward to a fishing report from Montana as well as local reports from members of the group. I would encourage anyone who is thinking about stopping by to come and get your feet wet with a fine group of anglers.

My thanks to Captain David Perry for providing this report in my absence.
