- IB heads off to the river Dove fore her first time using a split cane - bamboo fly rod. Split cane is a material that used to be incredibly popular, but these days carbon has taken over as the material for a fly rod. With the weather warm and sunny they're hoping for some good dry fly fishing for trout, but fly fishing UK can be unpredictable! Can IB figure out how to cast the bamboo rod properly and catch some wild brown trout? Enjoy - My FIRST Time Using A Split Cane / Bamboo Fly Fishing Rod

Thanks!
Thanks so much Pelle, we really appreciate it! Sorry for the late reply, we couldn't find your comment! Do you ever use bamboo rods?
I first want to say I am so glade I found your Channel. I just can’t get enough of your past videos.
Now about your bamboo rod. Most of the rods in that era were slower. My dads was also.
Now let’s look at today. I make bamboo rods. I don’t like slow rods. Also I live in the mountain of Georgia,USA. Most of our streams are not river but streams. Most you can cast across. Most are very boulder riddled and very hard to walk in. And falling in is expected. So to fish these little streams I make a fast(as fast as bamboo can get) 6 foot 4wt. Rod to be used with double taper fly line. I can cast this 30-40 feet (9-12 meters). Bamboo is something you just fall in love with. My first rod was my dad’s 7foot 6 inch and had this old reel with a greased line on it. With a leader attached to it with an overhand knot. Just want to tell you my story and how bamboo can be so different. Thank you for the warmth you bring to your channel and the love you two have for fly fishing.
Over the years I have gone from Sage carbon rods to nowadays the modern Fiberglas blanks by well known Kabuto and Steffen Bros., but wanted to experience bamboo so I had a Garrison 204E 7 foot reproduction made for me. This is a joy to cast as long as the proper size and weighted reel is on it. The modern skeleton style lightweights although beautiful to look at will not balance my rod like a proper Hardy Perfect or older Uniqua reels. Great fun and a pleasure to cast when balanced.👍🇨🇦👨🦳
Lovely video. I have a 1960's Hardy Phantom Palakona 9ft #6 3-piece cane rod I was gifted on the proviso I never sell it! It only comes out for special occasions, fishing a chalk stream etc. I think using a hand built rod, made by a real craftsmen is a privilege. It's somehow a more special experience compared to using a mass produced, production-line rod, no matter how good the rod is. You really have to 'use' a cane rod, it doesn't 'cast itself', which makes catching fish on one even more rewarding. I also think using a cane rod transports you back to more simple, slower times when the world wasn't in such a hurry! And that's certainly something I appreciate now and then!
Just one more thing. In Thomas Edison’s winter home in Fort Myers Florida (where I practiced for 33 years.) On the wall there is a 10’ bamboo rod with the 150 lb tarpon he caught it on. I own 12 carbon fiber rods from 2 wt to 11wt. But to fish a Bamboo rod is just special.
Glad you enjoyed the bamboo IB. I use one for special occasions, with an Abel reel too - we really ought to use a Hardy Perfect, but the Abel is a great reel. You caught a couple of great fish - made it look easier than it is!
Oooh, I'm very intrigued now. What abel do you have Tim? 😬
It's always easier to catch fish when you have a professional fishing guide next to you. I would have been hopeless on my own!
@@IBandAndyFishing it’s an SDF 4/5 weight. A 60th birthday present. Doesn’t have the fancy paint job yours does. And yes, I agree it is very helpful when Andy is guiding. I enjoy my occasional days on the Wye and the Dove with him, although he now wants me to go on the Lathkill which looks a lot more difficult
@@IBandAndyFishing, I make modern bamboo fly rods. Not really surprised that you liked fishing with that one. IMHO, can't beat a good bamboo rod for trout fishing.
An LRH Lightweight would also be more period correct. I use both. I like a Perfect with my 6 weight. The extra weight balances it nicely.
Good job adjusting to the slower casting stroke.
SDF is a beautiful design, fancy paint or no paint 😍. Reel for life that is!
Oooh, you will love the lathkill. It's stunning, if I caught on it you will have no problems at all. They are spooky buggers though so maybe take some knee protection with padding 👀
Great video. During lockdown 1 & 2 I built 2 glass and two cane rods, perfect antidote to working from home and getting away from a laptop. It was my first time and patience and perseverance paid off, I couldn't be happier with the results. Most pleased with my cane 7'6" 4#, if I do say so myself a thing of beauty. Like IB I have a fast casting style and had to adjust but it didn't take long and it is a joy to cast. First trip out I had a handful of Yorkshire Dales trout and grayling to just under 1 3/4 lb and the sensation of playing a nice fish on cane is as they say, makes you feel more in touch with the fish. Keep them coming, maybe you could do a fish off new v old cane?
Another very enjoyable video, natural informative and realistic, great tribute to your Dad Andy with IB providing great entertainment.
Thank you Rich, glad you enjoyed the video. I certainly will never forget that day. I'm sure it was nerve wrecking for andy though 👀🤣
Great to see you back in our living room!
Thank you so much! It's great to be back ❤
Beautiful vid Andy. Cane is a great material for legering rods as well.
It's great seeing you on the water together again, such a lovely video that had me smiling ear to ear 👏👏
Thanks Zachary! Funnily enough, just before I've seen your comment I moved the flies you gave us in front of a picture frame 🤣 do they have some weird spying things in them?! 👀😬🤣
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, it was a very special day, quite emotional actually!
@@IBandAndyFishing No spying eyes in the flies 😂 I got a plan for some more which hopefully I'll bring in August when I'm bringing Mrs B for a day with Andy 🤫 You have to get these ones wet though 😁
That second Brown gave a great fight. Love those jumps. Nice job!
I know right! In all honesty I didn't expect the 2nd jump so close to me 🤣 totally scared me
Great video as usual guys , the drone shots were fantastic . You can't beat the English Country side, wow no rain this time 😂😂 or sunburnt faces . IB you're a natural Angler and using the old cane rod with expertise. Stay safe guys all the best from Downunder 👍
Thanks Peter!! I know right? We were blessed with 2 weeks of some fantastic weather, thankfully for us fisherman we were all this gear, we never burn haha. Is it nearly winter down your way?
Andy we're always opposite to English weather , here in Brisbane it's going to be 24 c just a mild day 😂😂😂
So lucky! If only we were that lucky 🙈.
Loved this video and understand why people like split cane-they have a really beauty about them. When I played golf many years ago I had a putter with a hickory shaft and wooden head. It was a real bugger to play with though and cost me many a stroke but it was a thing of beauty to look at and hold.
wonderful to see you both again... I have two split cane rods.. Will get them out to try once our fires have settled and hope to get camping/fishing in September with any luck... Great video .. enjoyed your energy.. cheers from BC Canada
I'm sending lots and lots of love ❤.
Hopefully your camping/fishing trip goes great and you make lots and lots of wonderful memories. Keep us posted! X
Superb video - can’t wait to see the next cane rod you guys show!
If rod weight is a concern. Perhaps a hollow built bamboo fly rod should be tried. A split cane rod builder cane tailor the casting action to your liking.
Good idea Ron, something we can look in to!
I have a 50's rod n it's perfect for small streams here in CA. Bamboo flyrod definatly has a slower action. Using a slower tempo has its advantages with Bamboo. Definitely a learning curve especially if ur used to a faster action. Thanks for sharing ur thoughts n making this video. God Bless n Fish on!
Hi Andy and IB
I really enjoyed seeing the cane fly rod getting a day out on the river and the history behind it. I have purchased a few cane rods over the last 2 or 3 years and not surprisingly each rod has its own feel, no one cane rod taper will cast and feel the same. In terms of the more vintage cane rods, it is my view that they are probably best enjoyed by using them for a little period in your day's fishing and alternating it with a carbon fly rod. Interestingly, I recently purchased your exact rod in mint condition and looking forward to trying it on the river. I am glad to say that I can shed some light on what the number 3 on both ferrules means. In order to know that the male and female ferrule are the correct pair (i.e. assembled out of the same culm of bamboo) they each have the same number engraved. I see that my Sharpes of Aberdeen, Scottie Featherweight model (8 foot 6 inches, 5 weight) has the same two numbers on both ferrules.
Beautiful casting shots in another beautiful place... thank you. Yes, split cane is very enjoyable - especially with the dries and wets on a smaller water like yours. And carbon may be the present and future, as you say, but there are other reasons for that other than fishing pleasure and efficiency with dries and small wets on beautiful smaller waters. Heavy? My carbon 9' 5 weight is at 3 oz actual - and my split cane Leonard 9' Catskill 4 weight is at 4.1 oz. actual. An ounce over a 9' lever is too heavy? As you said , the split cane tip casts itself once you slow down. Far fewer false casts necessary with good cane. But you are right, for various other reasons, carbon rods are the present and future... Reasons other than beauty and close work with long leaders and dry flies and small wets in a natural wonderlands like you two so actively enjoy. Again, thanks for the HD and the very lovely afternoon by your side...
We humans are interesting, aren’t we? Your comments are about how much better and lighter carbon rods are, but then spend the rest of the video talking about out how much fun and enjoyable the cane rod is!
I’m jealous. I’d be fishing that little rod 90% of the time. I row, and much prefer my wooden shell over carbon ones. Unless I need speed. But 98% of my rowing is t racing. So, mahogany it is!
Great to see you back in the water. My friend has a similar cane rod which is heavy but a lot of fun to fish with for a few hours. Great video nice fish well done
Thanks Stephen! Definitely a muscle building rod 🤣
@@IBandAndyFishing 😂🤣
She's a good fly-fisher Lady
Great video, always fancied buying a cane fly rod and may do it now after this video. Glad u guys are still doing videos.
Thank you! They're definitely something else, I think you will either hate it or love it? If you have the money though, definitely worth having and taking it out on special occasions. Very special fishing experience indeed
Been waiting for a vid off you's for ages now it feels like, am looking forward to a weekend of fishing tomorrow and Sunday, looking forward to more vids for tips through the summer in the hot weather
Thanks Richard, yeh it's been a while, but now the busiest season is done and dusted we will have all them videos coming out again 🤞🥰.
Tight lines for this weekend! What are you finishing for?
@@IBandAndyFishing sorry av just finished work at midnight, am fishing for rainbow trout, brown trout and grayling, I caught me first brown trout using a nymph in the river, av never been able to fish with nymphs and sinking flies only dry flies but the vids av watched by you's have helped me out to use them and catch with them, never caught a grayling yet so I really want one of them
@@IBandAndyFishing took me nephew with me today for his first time with me and we actually doubled up just as he was netting his I hooked one it was the best buzz of my fishing ever we didn't know what to do first lol
I fish bamboo and fiberglass a lot the past 20 years. In fact I plan trips with fishing a bamboo and glass rod in mind. Mostly small streams where I can fish with dry flies.
Fishing with bamboo (I own both contemporary and older rods) and also with glass is you are more aware of the tool you're using. More aware of and appreciation of the hard work and craftsmanship that has gone into making such a rod, as opposed to mass manufactured carbon rods. My glass rods are all custom built rods too.
The line shoots through it so well
It's a cracking little rod isn't it?!
So great to see you two again!! :)
Thank you 😊 great to be back
I am so glad you are back. I was starting to worry my favorite vlog was gone forever!
Interesting to see the cane rod in action - but as they cost about $3000 over here I don't think I will be trying one any time soon!
Is that how much they cost there? Is there no cheaper options? Jeeepers!
We are definitely not gone haha, it's just this time of year is always Andy's busiest guiding season ❤
@@IBandAndyFishing The Orvis Penn's Creek is $2998 - the prices go up from there! Maybe you could find something cheaper on ebay or a garage sale. Still I'll be sticking with carbon for now. It's pretty cool you get to fish with your Dad's old rod though!
If you’re in the U.S check out Sweetgrass rods they are based in Montana , $1250 will get you one of the finest bamboo rods made today . Give Glenn a call for a chat about his rods or alternatively join the “Classic Rod Forum” plenty of excellent blue collar rods come up for sale in the classified section ranging from $250-$500
A really lovely video. Plus some great fish. You have got me wanting to go out and get a cane rod.
Well done
Thanks Nicholas, a lot! ❤
Have you tried it before just don't have one now or never tried one?
@@IBandAndyFishing Haven't got 1 but have tried it many many years ago.
I just love the excitement in your voice and the look on your face once you had hooked a fish.
Andy your Dad would have been very proud
I own a 6'9 inch bamboo fly rod (Hardy) with line number # 3,4. I usually use carbon fly rods, but sometimes I enjoy trout fishing with this bamboo rod. I really like the sticky feel of the bamboo after catching the trout 🤗✋‼ ️
There's definitely something special about a bamboo rod. If I ever get one myself I would definitely use it more often, it was a very pleasant experience
Welcome back guys!
Been a while
Definitely. Too long! Thanks for the watch ❤
Nice catch
Cheers from half way around the globe. California
You two are daft I really enjoy the fun you both have I go to Ashbourne often ❤
Great video and good to see you both fishing. Good drone footage too!
Thanks Will, trying to get my moneys work from that drone now aren't I?! 🙈😂
Some of the older split cane rods were tip heavy and not so pleasant to cast and fish. Made in heavier line weights and in 3-piece configuration, the vintage bamboo rods are not, in my view, much fun. Split cane fly rods designed for stream trout, by comparison, are a delight for cast and fish. You can fish all day with a custom-made 4 weight bamboo fly rod in a 2/2 configuration in lengths from 7'0" to 8'0" and have a blast. Ron U.
I was waiting for someone to comment about how much fun a well-made bamboo fly rod can be to use. In fact, other than nymph fishing where a longer reach is needed, I prefer them for my trout fishing. I hollow-build my cane rods, which lightens the swing weight and makes them more responsive than solid built cane rods. In the 7 to 8 foot length, and built from a thoughtful taper in 3 to 5 weight class, a cane rod will knock your socks off.

Used an 11foot cane fly rod designed for loch style fishing many years ago when I was a lot younger and it killed my arm and shoulder after 20 mins ,I agree that there are things of beauty but give me carbon any day ( enjoyed the video thanks and stay safe both of you).
There are very affordable split cane rods from China. The maker is ZhusRods. I have 5 of his rods for stream trout fishing in fly line weights 3, 4, and 5. They vary from 6'0" to 7'5". I prefer the 2/2 rods. They are priced under $300 and some are right at $200. You'd be hard pressed to find new bamboo rods of this quality and price. Ron U.
Hi IB well done with the bamboo.
Very odd things to cast but different kind of fly fishing aye.
Cheers Craig NZ
Thanks Craig! It is so odd, my casting definitely needed some adjusting. At the same time was very enjoyable. How is fished in NZ at this time of the year?
@@IBandAndyFishing Hi IB the local rivers where I live are holding a lot of large rainbow and brown trout.
As is rivers like the tongariro in the central north island.
Keep it up guys.
Cheers Craig NZ
Learnt to flyfish years ago on my grandfathers greenheart rod. The key is to slow down your action and allow the rod to work the line and not the line to work the rod. Have acquired a vintage premium split cane recently which has a surprising fast action for cane. Use it occasionally for fun. Am fascinated by your rod hold with forefinger extended. This is the same as mine. I clearly find it superior than extended thumbhold for acuracy, particularly on control of the backcast-but have not come across any other angler in NZ who uses this.
The Able reel is probably too light to balance that rod properly. It would feel even better with a heavier reel.
Loved that👌 well done IB your a very good caster! I could give you a plank of wood and you would present a three course meal for them wild browns😃👍
I will cast into the tree three times, then swear, maybe a little cry and only then I might catch a fish 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for your kind comment! Don't think anyone has ever called me a great caster!
I was just gifted a vintage 8' 5wt Foster Bros. of Ashbourne "Brook" series rod from my father in law, which is how i wound up here. Coincidentaly you're on a Foster Bros. too! I too only fish super fast graphite rods and modern euro nymph rods, so this is a bit of a new experience for me, but I'm not ashamed to admit, i'm kind of hooked on them. Great video!
This video has given me the urge to dig out my Fosters split cane rod ,handed down to me by my father but this one was made in the 1930,s..I have only really fished lakes and reservoirs so I need a bit of a lesson to do justice on a river..
It doesn't matter justice or not, as long as you enjoy it x
Wowww...amazing rod (and video) 🥰 My grandfather had such a beautiful rod like this, but unfortunately it was devoured by greedy heirs. I always watched it with adoration but sadly I couldn't try it (never)😪 Greetings from Hungary!
Brilliant vlog, so poignant too! Well done guys
Now time to try a modern fast glass rod? I won’t use carbon since I went back to glass 5 years ago.
Keep an eye out for the start of the next trout season......
Have you guys ever tried a tenkara rod? I really enjoy my 8' rod on small creeks in Colorado. I also have a cane rod that I've never used passed down to me from my great aunt. I guess I need to give it a go.
Hey John. I've never tried tenkara, I believe Andy has. I think he has tried everything by now 🙈🤣 I remember walking in on him at a show once and he was casting with just some weird looking bone!
Definitely take the rod to the river and give it a go, you will enjoy it I promise
Cane rods have the weight of the rod added to the line weight, so you have to slow your timing to wait for the rod to catch up. You should try a parabolic cane rod. They were made for long distances. Charles Ritz made a lot of them. I’m a casting champion so I’ve tried many cane rods, but prefer light, strong and fast action rods of graphite.
Glass a real pleasure amazing for small streams
Great video, nice idea too. On a different note, please could you do a short vid on furled leaders? I've noticed you mention them quite a lot recently and want to know more (may be the missing thing I'm looking for 😅)! Thanks
That's a good idea, we'll look at that one, thanks! 👍👍
Super video both!
Great to see you back, the summer has felt empty…….
I’ve got a Hardy “Palakona” split bamboo rod which I’m now going to HAVE to take to Stephen Woolley.
(When I am allowed out after getting Covid🤧😩😩😩😩😩)
Glad to see you’re back! 😊
lovely couple
Doesn't get any better wild browns on cane rod. Fly-fishing at its purest form.
Ive been making cane rods for 11 years now and yes they are slow but slow is good. Now, they can be made to be fast, Recently I;m making hollow cane rods which are amazing. If you can cast a fiber rod cane acts about the same, the cane is full flex much like a glass rod.
I'll be honest it was only when I looked at the slowmo footage of this rod that I realised it's actually pretty fast, far more than I thought!
You make a great pair. You need to film together more often.
Great video and talk about cane and carbon. Have just returned from the river Glomma in Norway, where I tried my first splitcane rod. As you say - it takes some time getting used to.
But I managed to catch nice graylings on the rod, and only went back to carbon, since the wind picked up.
Wind and splitcane is not so good in my hands :-)
Lovely to see you both again out there...Cheers Torben, DK
Great video, always enjoyable.
Great video again both, I have I split cane rod somewhere in the garage and I really want to fish with it now after watching you fish with them because I have cast cane rods but never actually fished with them. 🤣🎣👍
Take it on the Derwent, would be so much fun! Perhaps club should do a split cane day once a year 😬🤣
@@IBandAndyFishing yeah they should do a split cane day! I might take it on the wye because the rod is 9' so it would do ok for the wye. 🎣
I caught my first trout on my dads Bamboo rod 62 years ago in Pennsylvania where I grew up. When he passed, I found it amoung his things with the carbon rod I built for him. I completely rebuilt it and fished it in Colorado and caught trout once again. I also fish the carbon rod. I figure the Bamboo rod is around 80 years old.
my grandpa and i found my great grandpas fly rods. one is split cane 13 foot salmon rod which my great grandpa apparently caught a 32lb salmon back in the 50s
Nice video -A friend had a cane rod made for me by a maker from Derby in the mid 80's - I can't make out the name on the rod and can't remember now - looks like GEL Bitandreth ??
7 foot 6/7 - I use it a couple of times a season to go "old school" - you definitely need to slow down casting but I find it plays fish beautifully.
Exquisite bit of water. What does a day cost?
This one isn't day ticket I'm afraid. In fact, Derbyshire as a whole is pretty poor on day ticket access which is a surprise given how much water we've got here!
Looks cool. And heavy.
Pretty much spot on
great video guys.Love the cane.so much more relaxed and slow casting action but heavy as you say compared to carbon.You have to try a modern day glass fibre rod.Hope you havent been using the cane as a whip on Andy I.B !! lol.
I was carrying that rod like a baby! Definitely would like to try a glass rod in the future, just need to get one
Well done!
I used to have a combo travelling rod that was about the same length and was a fly rod or you used a different tip section and reversed the butt and was a spinning rod … wish i still had it.
Blimey, never heard of anything like that! What happened to the rod?
@@IBandAndyFishing I assume when I got rid of all my fishing gear (nearly 40 years ago) that went too. it was in a small wooden box and was about 3ft long and 6" square . I think it was either an Edgar brothers (bham?) or a Richard walker one. I used to use it in wales as where my uncles caravan was there was a lovely litte river only about 8 - 10 foot wide and it was great for that used with my centre pin reel ( cost 2/6d or 12.5p for you youngsters :D) it had quite a nice action. never tried castin a fly with it as that would have meant having a separate Game licence it was 50p for a coarse rod licence and £1.50 I think for the game licence ... I was only 16 or so at the time 🤣
is it a slow or a fast action tip rod ,if its cane it should be slower , i own meny and they are perfect for dry fly fishing and nymph fishing with a degreased leader.
Top essa pescaria estou aprendendo
Should use a silk line from Ian Mott on that rod. Be really traditional.
I'm not that far gone. Only trying
My first fly rod was a glass rod. I loved it! Was as in, then my streamer hit the connection between two rod pieces and it shattered into a zillion pieces 🙈
Saw a split came salmon rod in John Norris a few years back and tried to lift it. All I can say is people were built differently back in the day.
since I started makeing my own bambooflyrods i rarely use normal graphite rods
What a skill to have, congratulations!
@@IBandAndyFishing you ca have look on my channel i show some rods and how I made them, its not that difficult
Mantap,,,👍👍👍
Great video bet Andy's dad caught allot of fish on that rod after all Andy's got to get the fish catching Gene's from some where lol. Will there be any more still water videos in the future ?
Hi Dylan, thanks for the view and kind words! Yes definitely will be still water videos, a bit too hot at the moment, but when temperatures normalise we will be back on it doing our best to catch a few 🎣
@@IBandAndyFishing yeah certainly to hot at the moment I've leaving them alone for a few weeks let this horrible heat pass
yous ever fish ireland or northern ireland? its our dollaghan season big 20lb plus brownies from the lough come up the rivers
I have been in Ireland once but never fished it. Andy has lure fished there and fly fished when he was younger. Definitely something we would love to do one day
What waders do you use?
I can see it now.Both of you fishing with" old cane rods "full time. Andy you have no excuse .
Haha, I can't see that just yet. Maybe one day!
What are the landing nets you’re using? - they look reall good.
Hi nick, you can learn all about the net in this video ➡️ czcams.com/video/R2oQhqWcJFM/video.html
Lol she bounces the rod up and down and say this didn't tell me anything and then said wow this is a slow action rod I don't know how I'm gonna cast it . I guess she learned why people do that lol

lol Ive just got my first split can rods a few days ago for only £18 for two. They are antique rods, I know one is at lease 120 years old and the other is close to 70 years+
Amazing. Are you going to fish with them?
@@superdeluxesmell I will be one of the rods is a C.Farlows 2 piece 11f rod the oldest. And the other I haven't managed to find out the name but its a 6ft 2 piece.
That is so cool! How did you manage to find them so cheap?
@@IBandAndyFishing while i was at work I saw a post on facebay for the 6ft split cane rod for £8 and i msg him straight away. The gent ws having a clear out and no longer needed these rods. The oldest one was his dad's when he was a boy and the other one his dad brought for him when he was 12.
depending on the weather i may take them out on sunday and make a vid on them
Weird fetish? So now we know what you’re up to when you’re not fishing! 😂
bamboo is so springy
She bares an odd resemblance to elijah wood
With a cane rod your more at one with nature.
Trout should be caught with a bamboo rod.
Fly fishers like to flop the rod around for the same reason people slap bags of rice when they pass them in supermarkets. Cuz we have to 🥸
