Vince Marinaro has long been acclaimed as one of Pennsylvania's most influential authors and fly-fishermen--a career that was both extensive and varied. "Split & Glued By Vincent C. Marinaro" is the inscription Vince put on each of his own fly rods, and serves as the title for this new work. Harms and Whittle connect Marinaro's life and times to the larger world of fly-fishing and bamboo rod-making, analyze his rods and account for his path to becoming a maker--his design criteria and building practices. |
