Bob clay makes beautiful bamboo fly rods. While he makes several different types of single handed rod he is most well known for bamboo spey rods. The rods are unique works of craftsmanship that cast beautifully and also happen to catch trout. His company Riverwatch Rods is located in the Kispiox Valley in British Columbia, a destination for any angler in search of steelhead fishing.

This is a great short video of Bob talking about steelhead spawning in Canada, if you don’t want to watch the whole thing at least fast forward to min 1:05 and watch one of his rods in action.
