Oyster Fine Bamboo Fly Rods

"Very knowledgeable staff. Awesome layout and classes available."

"Outstanding hands-on experience. Great instruction and timely support by the Oyster team! Friends cannot believe the high end quality of my saltwater 8' 9wt bamboo fly rod! Expect to do this again...thank you Bill, Riley, Dean, Shannen, Kacie and Quinn for the experience of a lifetime!"

"This man is a true MASTER and ARTISAN of his trade. We are truly blessed by God to have such an incredible artist right here in blue ridge Georgia! You will not find a better rod builder in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Alaska or ANYWHERE else for that matter. If you were on the fence about either buying one of his rods or doing one of his classes, you will not be disappointed. After casting one of his rods, nothing will ever feel quite the same."

"Exactly two years ago I stumbled upon the Oyster Bamboo flyrod shop. I had no interest in owning a bamboo flyrod at the time nor did I have any desire to build one in the classes that they were advertising. After talking for 20 min to Riley, one of their employees, I realize that as a long time fly fisherman I could not continue pursuing one of my life‘s greatest passions without experiencing the Oyster Bamboo fly rod building class. I am now approaching the last day of class which is tomorrow and I can hardly sleep knowing that this fantastic six day journey and incredible experience is almost complete. Bill Oyster and his family/employees have created one of the finest experiences a flyfisherman could ever have. Although this incredible 6 days is not on the water it has been a true honor as well as a privilege to be a part of such an up lifting endeavor. I can honestly say that after more than 30 years of my life chasing fish on the fly all over our wonderful nation and landing some huge trophies along the way this flyrod building class has been just as full of effort and great reward as any of the finest days I’ve ever had on the water with a flyrod in my hand. Whether you have been a long time fly fisherman or are just getting into the sport this experience is something I would highly recommend for everyone. In my opinion, Bill Oyster along with his family and carefully selected team, Riley, Quinn, Cassie, & Dean have created something for the sport of flyfishing that is a magnificent gift to us all.

"I have been through Bill's rod building class, and it was a wonderful experience. I had no previous knowledge of rod building, and they took us through the entire process, making sure that we were producing a rods that we could be proud to own and fish. The rod that i made is now my favorite trout rod! They are currently making a 9 wt. salt water rod for me which I will use for permit, bones and reds. Their custom rods are definitely works of art, but made to fish! I highly recommend Oyster Bamboo!!"
