<strong>pag</strong>e 36Bamboo JournalThat evening we spoke about what had happened in front of acup of hot coffee and a bottle of whisky. We were all sad forhaving lost three two handed rods that we would have neverseen again.Mine was not on the bottom of the river like the other two buthad became part of the barrier of branches and trunks and whoknows where it was going to land up after the irst springloods that would have washed everything away.It was a beautiful blonde rod with green wrappings and reel seat. It was strong and powerful.Now it was going to inish its existence in the forests of ir trees in BC. After all it is a beautifulplace.Italian Bamboo Rodmakers Association
<strong>pag</strong>e 37Bamboo JournalTime passed and in my log book where I carefullywrite all the particulars about the rods Imake – I wrote - “Lost in BC” and forgot aboutit.I continued making rods for a while until oneday, after 15 months I receive a mail.It was Bob Milward – a Canadian rod makerwho wrote« Dear Alberto, An angler has found a doublehanded rod near Smithers, British Columbia … Isit yours or did you sell it to someone? … The buttis O.K. except one amber line guide and a fewsnakes need to be replaced. The middle sectionhas a serious bend which will require heatstraightening. The tip section has a severe bendand some bamboo is missing completely from themiddle. The whole tip section must be replaced.”… “What do you want me to do?—Mail it back toyou, or repair it for the inder?»It is she!She has spent 4 seasons in the woods and now aisherman has found it and taken it to a rodmakerfor repairs. But irst he asks if he can keep itor if he should send it back to me. That is therespect I was talking about earlier – the respectthat every isherman has for a bamboo rod.This isherman is 9000 Kilometres away.He could just keep the rod and nobody wouldask where he had got the rod, but he has respectfor it and asks whether he should send it back tome.«Dear ... I will be happy if you repair the rod andif it becomes your rod …» was my answer.Italian Bamboo Rodmakers Association
