While I put together a trip report from yesterday’s sortie to a gorgeous small stream in an alpine valley, enjoy this tidbit sent to us by Alert Underground Reader & Espresso Drinker Murdock (of flyfishmagazine.com fame).

Yes, my readers, it’s yet another bamboo item — this one looking like something the Professor would cook up on Gilligan’s Island.

Bamboo Town Car
The Bamboo Buggy, complete with throne and parasol. I’d look good in one of these…

I would look so damned cool as I was chauffeured from one Upper Sacramento access point to another in the back of this (I especially like the bamboo parasol thing, though one wonders how that would fare at freeway speeds).

Imagine the looks from the bamboo-deprived anglers as I pull up for the evening hatch; they’d stare at my car and my bamboo uber-fly rods, then look at the sad graphite sticks in their hands, and know they’d already been bested.

At least that’s how it would happen in my rich fantasy life. Lord knows that could come true at any time. See you at the bamboo ranch, Tom Chandler.
