Creating the Garrison Fly Rod 

So much of it by hand and by feel. Amazing. Many thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻

Physical American history. Both the video and the man and his products. Unbelievable.

Fantastic seeing this ancient Japanese craftsman at work, thanks for sharing!

Ive watched it 5 times so far

great video...true master of the art

I made my first rod in 1990. I used your fathers book. It’s a real treat to see mr garrison in his shop. It’s also fun to see he got a bit frustrated sometimes too.

This is a very enjoyable film. It’s interesting comparing the way rod make of today versus how it was done in the past. I’m glad that this film was preserved.

It’s incredible to see a true master working his craft, I would love to cast one of these masterpieces.

Man this was amazing to watch... haven't fly fished since I was in college in The George Washington National Forest about 20 years ago, lately I've been thinking of getting back to it... After seeing this video... The time is now.

Thank you for posting. What an amazing documentary.

Piękny film dzięki 🙏😍

Magical. What a treasure ! Thank you

What a pleasure to find this! I lent out my VHS of it years ago to a friend who soon divorced... and lost it in the melee. This, more than anything, made rodmaking "real" to me and enticed me to give it a try. The ensuing years of enjoyment to myself and to my clients is a tribute to what Mr. Garrison shared to us for today. Thank you Mr. Carmichael for putting this and THE book together back in the day. You saved the art.

Just a great film so enjoyed it thank you 🙏

Valuable knowledge. Thank you dear sir.

This helped inspire my first bamboo rod purchase. Recommended by Chris Raine. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent! Thankyou.

Very cool to see the whole process. The Dip varnishing process was mind blowing. I so wish they showed detailed shots of his finished work after all the hard and meticulous work done.

Watching this in preparation for restoring an old split-bamboo fly-rod I bought on Ebay, with my dad. Recognized the name 'Hoagy Carmichael' from Ian Fleming's 'James Bond' writings. 👍

Absolutely captivating! Thank you.

Hermosa historia gracias Ben.

Great Master piece great ingeniering.

26:24 hear that? That's the sound of a warm Orion being spat out from some guy in Phoenix. Doubt anyone is going to get that joke, but thank you so much for the upload, this was an amazing watch.
