A unique film of Everett Garrison (1973) about how he built his bamboo rod documented by Hoagy B. Carmichael. This is the only film in existence of one of fly fishing's classic rodmakers.
Hoagy Carmichael wrote the book 'A Masters's guide to building a bamboo fly rod' together with Garrison. This book opened up the knowledge of making a bamboo fly rod which was kept secret by rod makers until the book was published in 1977. Rod makers simply call this book 'The Bible'. Unfortunately Garrison never saw the book as he passed before the book was published...
Hoagy acquired Garrison's rod shop after Garrison's passing and in 2014 Hoagy donated the rod shop to the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum. Here's a nice video of Hoagy explaining why he did that.
