Fly Fishing Experience Travel Destination for the Off-Season
When streams slow and winter sets in, most anglers pack up until spring. But the off-season offers just as much reward. For true fly-fishing enthusiasts, winter provides the perfect opportunity to explore the craft and history of the sport. PJ’s Fine Bamboo Rods hosts a six-day workshop in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, where anglers create, connect, and preserve fly-fishing heritage.
Winter, Craftsmanship, and Connection
Winter is a season to slow down and recalibrate. Anglers use this time to prepare for the next dry fly season. Instead of just waiting and tying flies, spend a week creating an heirloom. At PJ’s Fine Bamboo Rods, participants craft a bamboo fly rod while building camaraderie and pride in craftsmanship. In Pagosa Springs, this class takes you on a journey into the heart of fly fishing. Over six days, attendees complete every step of crafting a premium bamboo rod. The result celebrates angling traditions with functional art.
Why Choose Bamboo Fly Rod Building?
A Legacy in Your Hands Building your own bamboo rod is meaningful. Each rod becomes a legacy—a family heirloom to cherish. Every time you hold it, you’ll remember the care and effort you put in. Future generations will see your signature, a mark of craftsmanship and thoughtfulness. Handmade bamboo fly rods have a soul. They combine sensitivity and strength, letting you feel the river with every cast. Building one isn’t just practical—it tells your story on every fishing trip. The Unmatched Quality of Bamboo Bamboo is loved for its flexibility, durability, and beauty. It delivers great performance, smooth casts, and unmatched accuracy. No other rod presents a fly as naturally as bamboo. The magic lies in how bamboo feels. It’s not just a tool—it reflects your personality. Building your own deepens that connection.

Set in Colorado’s stunning landscapes, it’s one of the top fly-fishing spots in the U.S. Between sculpting bamboo and fishing, enjoy hot springs, mountain views, and Southwestern charm. The setting enhances the experience, blending learning, exploration, and relaxation.

The workshop focuses on hands-on craftsmanship, keeping you involved throughout. Each participant gets personalized support with a one-to-one rodsmith ratio.
Building More Than a Rod
