The wading staff is essential for those that wade in swift water, over slippery bottoms.
Several years ago I acquired a number of old bamboo boat rods. My intentions were to split them out to the original strips, then plane them to fly rod size. At the same time I was doing some wade fishing in North Carolina. My usual wading staff was a piece of driftwood picked up stream side. It dawned on me that the boat rods would make good wading staffs, so I tried one. It worked. I now carry one with me when I go stream fishing. |
Bamboo wading staffs are fine fishing tools |
