My Story

Purist Pursuit Bamboo was founded on the principle that if you’re going to do something, you should do it in its purest, most authentic form. So, if you’re going to fly fish, you should do it with a classic bamboo fly rod and a dry fly.

I began by devouring every book on the subject, gathering the necessary tools, and crafting my first rod. However, hesitation and overthinking slowed my progress, and it took about a year to complete. After attending a class and realizing my tendency to overcomplicate, I began to make better progress.

Now, I’m excited to share the joy of fishing with bamboo rods with others. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of catching your first fish on a dry fly and feeling the bamboo flex in your hands—this is the true essence of fishing.

You can either purchase one of my pre-built rods or get in touch with me to discuss your preferences. Let’s design a rod that suits your style and preferences. Experience the unmatched pleasure of bamboo fishing.
