The sportsman's transcendent implements are his rod and his gun but there has been a dearth of readily-available and plain technical information relating to the fishing-rod. While comparatively few anglers might care to undertake making of a split cane rod it requires little to convince anyone that fishermen love to tinker with their tackle. If you can make a rod you certainly can fix one. Building a split-bamboo rod is an operation in overcoming those particular difficulties in handling and working bamboo which give the most trouble. It seems that most experts tell everything except what we most need to know for success, and at critical places they leave us stranded. While some of the subjects discussed in these volumes have been dealt with much more exhaustively in various other and often more sumptuous and expensive books it is the my ambition to condense between the two pairs of covers more information of essential, practical interest to the American fly fisherman at the same time not without some flavor of the delightful literary, esthetic, and what may be termed the Nature sides of angling, which have inseparably been associated with the sport from the beginning.
