Episode 025: Bill Oyster

Recorded March 8th 2021. Incredibly talented Bill Oyster guides us through the twists and turns of his path toward making bamboo fly-fishing rods. After realizing his love of crafting fly rods he quickly had a huge waitlist and took a deep dive into engraving them. Bill also elaborates on the history of fly-rod making, and his own love of participating in nature through fishing. He’s inspired by students who are passionate and motivated to make fly roads and the staff of Oyster Bamboo who make it all possible! To find more of Bill's work check out his website https://oysterflyrods.com/ or find him on Instagram @oysterbambooBill’s craft crushes are motivated, passionate students!Support the show
