Bamboo FlyRod Maker query

[Jimmy Gee]

Anyone out there familiar with the work/quality of Bamboo flyrod maker Charles
Irvine of Owens River Rods in Bishop California?? I've checked out his
website and plan to contact him next time I pass through Bishop. What I'm
looking for is references/recommendations good, bad and indifferent. Thanks.

Check with the local fly shops in Bishop. There are about four. They might
have something for you. Have you cast one of his rods? Boo is to important
an investment to buy a pig in a poke. Not only cast, but try to fish a few.
If he's in Bishop, you could fish the Owens with him and try out some.
