Welcome to High Plains Rods!

"...A fine fly rod is a magnificent thing, a strain of music made visible, a living part of the hand that holds it.  Many an angler becomes so enchanted with the casting of a perfect rod that he resents interruption by trout."

          -"Sparse" Gray Hackle

"I can remember a time when I was young seeing a man fishing with a bamboo fly rod in a beautiful stream at dusk. His line seemed to hover magically in the warm summer air. This image remained indelibly etched in my minds eye and it came to me that this was not merely fishing, it was art. What a better way to bring art to life than through the beauty of a fine, handcrafted, bamboo fly rod."

"It is better to be part of beauty for one instant and then cease to exist than to exist forever and never be part of beauty."
