Is there any cost for these sessions? I'm simply curious as to how a rod gets built more than anything else. I doubt I'll ever build my own rod.

Thanx.....

Update .. The rod building sessions have to be rescheduled due to a conflict with classroom. The new dates are to be determined ASAP.

[VE3HAZ]

there is no cost other than the necessary rod building kits. It would be OK to monitor the sessions if you so wish, just show up on the scheduled dates.

Just wondering who around sells individual pieces for rod building such as individual guides? I picked up a sweet little fly rod at the glebe yard sale last weekend and need to replace just one guide on it.

Evan,

Both the Drake and FP&F should have tip top guides, however finding the appropriately sized snake/stripping guides might be difficult. You might have to put a custom order in for the guide(s) you require.
