Cane Rods
by Jack Ohman
From FEAR OF FLY FISHING
If you like Jack's fly fishing humor, be sure to look for his new book,
GET THE NET! published by Willow Creek.
They're strickly for dry fishing. Fishing with them is Art, but who
wants to fish with something they're afraid to touch? Fishing with
a cane rod is like playing rugby in your grandmother's sitting room;
the delicacy with which you have to pursue the sport is usually not
worth the hassle. I sometimes have the sensation that I'm posing
for an oil painting when I've used one. Graphite has the edge on
durability, but proponents may argue that Babe Ruth would not
use an aluminum bat. When you're trying to jerk that two-buck
fly out of the bushes across the stream, you may want something
that doesn't seem to make little whimpering moises when you haul
back on it. ~ Jack Ohman
