Bamboo Days by Jerry Kustich

In Bamboo Days, Jerry Kustich has crafted a memoir as elegant as the bamboo rods hes been constructing over the better part of his life. Written in a down-to-earth style, Bamboo Days is a sometimes, mystical exploration for meaning as Jerry reflects upon twists and turns of a life tied to running water and the fish that live there. He describes his early days in New York State where he was a bicycle-ride from a polluted Niagara River. How at eighteen he felt the need to leave home for the seminary, but eight years later, ended up out west with a fly rod in his hand, eventually settling in Twin Bridges, Montana, where he honed his skills as a rod maker and fly fisher while living with his true love until disaster struck. Jerrys no snob, happy to cast to any fish whether in fresh water or salt. Here you’ll learn from his adventures, a rich journey anchored by the simple satisfaction of a fishing. 6×9 inches. 216 pgs.
