Rolan Duffield Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 AK: We'll be hosting a Rod Building class at Lilley's Landing this coming Saturday Jan. 13, 2007 at 9;00AM. I don't know how many have signed up though you can call Phil if interrested. Doesn't sound like the weather man is going to be helpful as they are predicting cold and possibly icy conditions here in KC. Rolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Sorry I'm from Springfield and with the ice storm I just could not make it down for either the rod building or fly tying classes I signed up for. I was looking forward to both and hope they are both rescheduled at some point. Hope everyone is well and safe. Personally I have a ton of work to do - big limbs down all over my yard. What a mess. At least they did not hit the house though.

Gavin Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I build a bamboo rod every know and then. Havent planed one in awhile though. I dont wrap graphite rods, but if your in St. Louis check out Tom Hargrove's custom rods...His wraps, finish and feather inlays are fantastic. He is also a great source for rod building components and advice. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolan Duffield Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Greg: Phil indicated we will try to reschedule this sometime in the spring. We're well aware of the hardships encountered because of the bad weather. Rolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
