Fly Rods


I just finished my first two fly rods. One is for my son and one for my dil. They live in Idaho and fly fish a lot.
The handles came out great. I made them from some birdseye maple. My first time ever to turn wood on my lathe. It was pretty easy. My camera is not very good so I didn't get real good pictures. I put a tiny fly weave on them with a fish hook on the first ferrule and an arrowhead on the second ferrule. I tried to keep it small and simple because it seems that is what flyfishermen like.
Here is a few pics
