Creating The Garrison Fly Rod

A Film by Hoagy Carmichael

Now Available in VHS video cassette - Approximately 40 minutes

This is in many ways the inspiration and genesis of the now-classic book, A Master's Guide to Building a Bamboo Fly Rod, by Everett Garrison and Hoagy B. Carmichael. This film was shot by Mr. Carmichael five years or so before the publication of the book and was produced in association with the Angler's Club of New York (copyright 1973) and has not been available for the past twenty years or so.
This entertaining film shows the legendary rod maker, Everett Garrison, in his workshop making a bamboo fly rod from the first detailed step to the completed rod. We hear Mr. Garrison discussing his craft with colorful anecdotes and see him casting and fishing with a friend on the fabled Neversink River. This is the only known film of any of the classic rod makers. 
This is a logical and essential adjunct to the Garrison/Carmichael book that all rod making enthusiasts will thoroughly enjoy. It is a fascinating record of Mr. Garrison's last years, the consummate gentleman from another age.
