I got a pretty good size divot where my index finger touches the cork on my
fly-rod. There are a lot of divots but this one is annoying. Is there a
cork filler on the market, or can you make it yourself? Been to the hardware
store, wood filler (not sure if that will do), but no cork filler.

To make filler, you need cork _dust_ and adhesive (there is a specialty
adhesive, but Duco, Elmer's or similar will work). AFAIK, the only way
to get cork dust is to make/create it with cork and sandpaper. I'd
recommend a belt sander first, then a disc, and a vibrating type as the
least-favorable mechanical method.
