The Wading List - Fly Fishing - Passion for Bamboo Fly Rods - Robert Stroh
Robert Stroh builds some of Europe's finest split cane or bamboo fly rods. Every rod is unique and Robert has made a name for his roadbuilding amongst enthusiasts around the world. Originally trained as a carpenter, Robert Stroh discovered his passion for bamboo shortly into his professional career. We met him in his hometown Munich, Germany to talk about how he transitioned from being a carpenter to building custom bamboo fly rods, which hurdles he had to overcome and what makes a good fly rod in his eyes.

Lovely rods! 👍🏻👍🏻
I taught with a now retired elementary art teacher who builds bamboo fly rods. He's completely old school making the ferrules and the guide by hand. Beautiful products and understandably why they are so expensive. It's been over twenty years since I spoke with him and at that time the rods were well over 1000 U.S. dollars each. The hours of work into these is amazing. I just broke my fiberglass flyrod that I build forty years ago (out of college) and am now looking to buy a bamboo fly rod to use.
I too know how you feel about crafting something’s seeing it being used , as a retired yacht builder of 32 yrs ,and seeing a large vessel that you built or had helped build float by you get a feel of accomplishment, pride , and knowing you gave it your best and someone is enjoying it , handcrafting is a lost art these days ,it’s the special touches those little things that make it your style ,part of your soul that goes into each rod , the only way it could get better is if each fisherman could send you a picture of the fish they caught with one of your rods and a smile in every photo . I’m currently restoring a bamboo rod I picked up at a flea market, would like to see a video of your rods being fished all work and no play makes for a long day !👍
I want a video on the old school big surf bamboo rods
Wundervolle Handwerkskunst mit Natur materialien.... 👍❤️
For its length, this is one of the most well produced and inspiring videos I have seen for building bamboo rods.
Oh mein Gott!Du lebst deinen Traum.Das finde ich einfach Klasse. Irgendwann wird Fischen mit der Fliege einfach zur Passion. Ich angle seit 2 Jahren mit der Fliegenrute und seit meinem 12. Lebensjahr gehe ich fischen. Baue gerade auch meine eigene Fliegenrute und seit einem Monat bekomme ich nicht genug vom Fliegenfischen. Meine Eltern sind ebenso wenig begeistert davon, doch ich kann einfach nicht anders, Fliegen binden, Ruten bauen, Schlafen, Angeln und wieder von vorn. Ich hoffe ich kann dies auch bald sagen und baue professionell. Habe zwar keine Tischler/Schreinerausbildung genossen, aber bin doch handwerklich begabt.Motivation ist alles!.. Naja ich wünsche dir alles Gute weiterhin, bleib oder bleibt gesund! Mfg Raphael 😉🎣
Really enjoyed this look into this craftsman and his work. Thank you
Toll, dass du deinen Weg gegangen bist und Zufriedenheit erlangt hast. Ich versuche seit längerem auch eine splitcane zu bauen und weiß nun wie schwer es ist.
Wish I could have one of these Bamboo rods. It is something rare to find in South Africa and very expensive once you find one 😢 I will visit Denver l, Colorado, end June 2023. Will see if I can go an borrow and fish with one of these beautiful rods.
Beautiful! I would love to learn how to make them
Fantastic video
