I only have graphite and haven't tried bamboo. I break too many graphite through truck or feet mishaps to even really consider bamboo...

I tie sometimes, nothing exotic, just to replenish basic streamers, nymphs and drys. My kids love tying more than I do (7 and 10) and their messy Wooly Bugger caught them a decent rainbow this past summer.

I hope to fly fish The Bow this coming year. Big Browns I hear.
I still have some graphite rods but now I guess I'm retro'ing - sort of want to get to the essence of "it". Nice to catch trout on flies you've tied.
I bet your boys were tickled blue by catching a fish on a fly they tied.
I heard it said that the second most sold book after the bible was "The Compleat Angler", 1st ed. 1653. Fisherman. Fish. Fly fisherman. Imagine that.
Interesting to read too.
