Oyster Fine Bamboo Fly Rods is a brick and mortar business on Main Street in downtown Blue Ridge, Georgia. It offers custom bamboo fly rods, on-site hand engraving, and bamboo fly rod making classes. The business has a full showroom of bamboo fly rods, fly fishing reels, and branded products.
The rod building workshop is described as an amazing, phenomenal, and incredible experience that is greater than imagined, enjoyable, and fulfilling. Students, often attending with family, complete a beautiful, prized, and amazing rod in about six days with fantastic instruction. The staff and owners are noted as amazing, very helpful, true artisans, kind, and great at keeping the class on track. The result is a custom rod considered a family heirloom, leading to great memories and a sense of pride. The business is also available online and by appointment.
I attended my first Oyster Bamboo rod making class this week and loved it. I handcrafted an 8’ 5wt to fly fish in Virginia. If you are looking for a woodworking class with experienced instructors, I highly recommend this class.
