Thanks Tony! I have been known to prefer bream and even 3" shiners on a fly when it gets hot. Daughter Sarah caught 70 "sunnies" in a pond on a green weenie not 100 yards from the Yok in Maryland at Don Yelton's place some years back her first try at fly fishing....er...dapping.
No matter, she now goes fishing with the local boys on a regular basis and once she gets her fill of that I'm going to get all the teens out on the fly. They'll go just because she's a looker and hopefully get the cast better than me. Then Sarah can show em all up. It'll be fun.

Murf,
It is just a fishing pole, ifin it ain't used fer fishing youns might not as well have it.
Bamboo rods made in this day and age are quite a bit different than the old days. The bamboo strips are heat tempered and some bamboo rods cast as well as some glass and graphite rods. I can cast a good 60' without double hauling with the first bamboo rod I made. It is a 7' 4 wt. I am not a bamboo purest and would not go back to the slow heavy bamboo rods I started flyfishing with. I still fish graphite and glass but the bamboo is just different and I don't baby it. I have caught a couple 1+ pound bass on my three wt, 6' bamboo rod while fishing for gills. No ill effects on the rod at all.
LOL
