We are back with a double booth this year at the 2022 MidWest Fly Fishing Expo in Warren Michigan. The oldest fly-fishing only show east of the Mississippi. The Expo features some of the biggest names in fly fishing, fly tying and rod building.

I just finished making this rod and case for my friend and incredible fishing guide John Giuliani. I thought it would be fun to share the process with a video. If you’re considering a fishing trip to the St Marys, you have to look up John, he’s got things dialed-in on the Rapids. https://www.facebook.com/JAHenryMichigan/videos/342068534454446
