Trout Grass

Global FlyFisher (Martin Joergensen)

…Beautifully filmed by Ed George and with some absolutely breathtaking shots from both China and the US - outdoors as well as indoors - this film succeeds extremely well in facilitating the fascination of bamboo and the rods made from it.

Camera work and editing is calmly paced and soothing, and the narration is both well written and spoken. The music manages to carry both the eastern ambience as well as some good ole country and western mood, and as a whole I will consider this one of the best films on fishing related subjects I have ever seen. I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.

For over 50 years, Francis Degere has been making bamboo fly rods in his Adams, Massachusetts home. "Digger," as he is known, spends at least 100 hours hand crafting each split-cane rod from a single culm of bamboo. His skills and techniques are revealed as he teaches the craft to his apprentice, Fred Moran, thus passing the torch to the next generation. Digger - Portrait of a Bamboo Fly Rod Maker is more than a document of a man and his craft; it is also a tribute to a way of life and work that is vanishing in our modern, mechanized world.
