The classic bamboo is the angler's and collector's treasure, and this book is the first definitive treatment of this rod's basic component - Tonkin cane. Tracing the history of the split bamboo fishing rod from its beginnings in England at the end of the eighteenth century to the work of master craftsman Hiram Leonard, who founded a school and made the American fly rod world-famous, he includes photographs of the growing conditions along the Sui River in the heart of the Tonkin country.
A very interesting book with a lot of information about where the best fly rod material comes from. A must have for bamboo lovers.
