Rod Building - Part 11: Whipping the females

From Fly Rod
If you found this page via search engines, looking some pictures of serious whipping action, you might be a little disappointed right now.

From Fly Rod
Let's face it - this is about building a fly rod. Nothing sexy and hot in high heels or lusty lingerie to be found here. There are no pictures of naked beauties getting whipped, just a fly rod.

From Fly Rod
Hey! You made it this far - Drop a comment. Thanks.

Gyotaku - Japanese Fish Rubbing



I believe I first saw these in John Gierach's Trout Bum. Jack Brown has learned the art in Japan and has made these for over 25 years. Visit his site at www.kechenenyfishprints.com
