At The Angler’s Cane, I’ve restored, repaired, bought, sold, and handcrafted bamboo fly rods since 1992. Every rod is built with patience, precision, and respect for the tradition of fly fishing, with some custom creations requiring over 80 hours to complete. From heirloom restorations to some of the finest handcrafted bamboo rods made in the USA, each piece is built to fish, built to last, and built one rod at a time. 

Founder & Craftsman
Since 1992, Joe has specialized in restoring, repairing, buying, selling, and handcrafting bamboo fly rods. Known for meticulous detail and traditional techniques, his rods are built one at a time with a focus on performance, craftsmanship, and preserving the heritage of fly fishing.

The Angler’s Cane also works alongside a close network of fellow bamboo rod builders, collectors, craftsmen, and fly fishing enthusiasts who share knowledge, restoration techniques, vintage gear, and decades of experience. From sourcing rare components to discussing classic tapers and fishing traditions, the bamboo rod community remains an important part of every project.
