Chris Clemes Fly Rods Handmade split cane fly rods, built in England since 2012. Featured in The Times Luxury and the FT. Stocked at Farlows of Pall Mall. Custom Cane from £1,550.

Chris Clemes Fly Rods has been building split cane (bamboo) fly rods in England since 2012.

Our work has been featured in The Times Luxury (March 2025), the Financial Times' How to Spend It, British Airways First, Mission Fly Mag, Tackle & Gun, Fly Fishing & Fly Tying and Scottish Flyfisher. Rods are available direct from our workshop and through Farlows of Pall Mall (London), Stream and Sea (Paarl) and Hand Made Life (Franschhoek). Sjambok S-Glass from £599. www.chrisclemes.com

For the person who has everything, except a rod made for them.

The Gentleman’s Fly Fishing Kit: a handmade split cane fly rod in a wooden presentation case, with an engraved brass dedication plate and their name written on the rod.

On the day, they receive a signed certificate on ivory card. Afterwards I speak to them about their fishing and build the rod to suit them.

A retirement, a long service award, a partner leaving, a thank you that will still be fished in thirty years.

From £4,500. Christmas certificates include a free hand stitched leather rod tube.
