Another Great ARC Workshop in the Books!

We just wrapped up our February 2026 Bamboo Rod Building Workshop, and the photos here capture some of the many steps that go into crafting a custom bamboo fly rod.

The rods our customers built turned out beautifully and they cast just as well as they look. Now we’re just waiting for them to send photos from their fishing adventures!

At ARC Fly Rods, we work closely with each builder to taper and design their rod for the fish they plan to pursue. These rods aren’t meant to sit on a wall they’re built to fish and built for adventure.

Our next workshop begins March 7, and we still have a few spots open. Come join us and build the bamboo rod that will take you on your next fishing journey.

Another Incredible Adventure for ARC Bamboo

John has returned from his pursuit of Brazilian Peacock Bass and what a journey it was.

A houseboat expedition traveled over 250 miles up the Amazon River and its remote tributaries, placing him deep in true wilderness, the heart of peacock bass country.

Six unforgettable days fishing with Peacock Fishing & Adventures and guide Eduardo Crespo meant long days on the water — often 100 casts a day, many stretching 50–70 feet from a skiff.

And the wildlife? Just as breathtaking as the fishing.
Macaws overhead.
Caiman along the banks.
River dolphins rolling nearby.
And yes… plenty of piranha.

There was one full day of drenching rainforest rain — the kind that reminds you why it’s called the rainforest — but even then, the peacock bass were still willing to eat.

Before the trip, John and I carefully designed and built the perfect travel companion:
A 9’0” 3-piece 7/8 weight bamboo rod, built to carry easily on the plane and powerful enough to handle one of the hardest-fighting freshwater fish in the world.

At ARC Fly Rods, we design bamboo rods to fish — not just trout, but any species your adventure calls for.

Peacock bass are now proof of the strength, power, and versatility of bamboo.

✨ Your adventure is waiting.
Join us in February or March for a hands-on workshop and build the custom bamboo fly rod that will take you on your next unforgettable journey.

Big Adventures. Handmade Bamboo Fly Rod.

At ARC Fly Rods, our bamboo journeys don’t stop at trout streams. Every rod built in our workshops is meant to fish and to travel.

This January, my partner John is taking on one of our biggest challenges yet: Peacock Bass in Brazil. Armed with a 3-piece 9wt bamboo rod and 54 custom-tied flies prepped over Christmas, he’s ready to battle one of the most aggressive freshwater predators on the planet.

We’ve built bamboo rods for muskie, pike, bonefish, and tarpon and now we’re pushing bamboo even further. Because at ARC Fly Rods, we know how to design and build custom bamboo rods for any fishing adventure you can imagine.

❄️ Don’t let winter slow you down. While the rivers rest, this is the perfect time to build.
📅 February and March workshops are now open come craft a bamboo rod that will carry you into spring and beyond.

Build more than a rod.
Build a connection to your fishing that lasts a lifetime.

🎣 Black Friday Reminder!
There’s still time to grab 25% off your ARC Fly Rods workshop registration before November 30!

John and Jeff took a couple of days to fish in North Carolina—
Day 1: Floating the Tuckasegee River with their favorite 3-piece 6wt bamboo rod, casting woolly buggers and droppers.
Day 2: A double-header wading Fires Creek in the morning and the Nantahala River in the afternoon, putting the new 3-piece 3wt and 2-piece 4wt to work.

Every rod they fished was handmade, and the action didn’t disappoint.
That’s the magic of fishing with a bamboo rod you built yourself.
