OUR WORKSHOP

OUR Services

We are here to share our passion for fly rods, fly fishing, travel, and learning.  The Fly Rod Company offers a number of services and products tailored to individuals who enjoy the sport of fly fishing.

Whatever your personal tastes, John can make a fly rod from a bamboo culm or build one from a fiberglass or graphite blank.  We boast of a product that is produced entirely in our shop in Idaho Falls, Idaho, 

We believe fly fishing knowledge should be shared and everybody is welcome.  It's that simple.

Custom fly rods, and vintage tackle.

Rod repair, modification, and restoration services.

Rod building classes for everybody and anybody, at our workshop.

We welcome all inquiries:
