Title
Pickard Bamboo Fly Rods
Description
The tapers I use were designed for Michigan trout streams . I make exceptional casting rods with a fit and finish that is equal to any rods made today.
I build Flamed Parabolic rods and Blond cane rods that are very similar to Young and Dickerson Rods. I grew up fishing these and have had a number of these rods over the years. I am quite familiar with how they cast and feel. My grandfather was a guide on the Ausable in the 30-60's, It was just natural to make the same style of rod.
My grandfather, Marion Burtch, was the head guide and member of the Rainbow Club on the Ausable river near Wakley bridge from 1930 to 1966. The Rainbow Lodge was owned by Jerry Webber the owner of J.L. Hudson Dept. stores. Mr. Webber was a good customer of Lyle Dickerson and Paul Young. My grandfather fished with a variety of Dickerson and Young rods.
