Those that know me will understand how important my family is to me. So, with the coming of our 3rd child over Christmas, we (as a family) have decided to slow down on the rods for a while, and concentrate on getting our 2 boys' little sister off to the best possible start in life. With the new baby the dynamics of family changes a lot (we have seen this already during the pregnancy), so I will be spending as much time with the boys as possible, and also try and take them out to the streams as much as possible, a great passion for both boys already!

That means cutting down on the number of builds for the year. I will be accepting a maximum of 6 builds for the year of 2012, and this page will serve as a project update for those that commission a rod.
I'll still be making nets on the side, and completed nets will be available in the online shop from time to time, so check back regularly to see what is on offer. Completed nets can still be personalised to your requirements.
