On a trip to North Carolina recently, I spent a few hours with Chris Barclay of C. Barclay Fly Rod Co. in his small shop in Winston-Salem. Over lunch at a nearby poke spot, we talked about a lot that he put into his latest blog post with narrowing down his model offerings and making some pricing adjustments to reflect changes in costs on his end. All of it makes sense as he continues to design and build some of the finest contemporary small stream glass fly rods that a growing number of devotees enjoy.
The image above is one of several hundred that I snapped in Chris's basement shop and I need to weed through them this weekend for a pictorial post on T.F.M. and on social media. I might be a little weird (confirmed) but I like watching craftsmen work. These images will be fun to share.
In the meantime, visit the C. Barclay Fly Rod Co. website for the update. Follow along with the latest shop news on Facebook, Instagram, and join the C. Barclay Fly Rod Co. Enthusiasts Group on Facebook.
