Also included in the book are: fishing stories “In the Oregon” reaching from 1811 to the 21st century, briefs on the first four years of the Metolius fair, the ill-fated Westmoreland casting pool, and one of the writer’s favorites- Oregon angling licenses 1915-1940.

Of course, there are articles on bamboo history, basics, and a 100 step outline on rod making. A detailed introduction provides the reader with an overview of the book.

The book’s patient editor was Frank Reuter.  Layout and printing was completed by Maverick Productions in Bend, Oregon. Oregon Bookbinding produced the hard cover edition
