In the past I've populated this site with bamboo fly rods, bamboo cars, bamboo clock radios -- even pants made from bamboo. Basically, all the bamboo gear you'd need if you wanted to prove to your fly fishing buddies that you're better than they are.

No need to thank me, though a new ascot would be nice.
