Ron Barch, Publisher. At Alder Creek publishing we believe a good book is like a good friend, both can enrich one’s life. As an independent publishing house, specializing in split bamboo rodmaking and all things related, Alder Creek realizes that to make it in the big world of books we must provide unique, high interest material in a quality format. Quite simply, that’s our goal. Whether it’s a technical chapter on split bamboo rodmaking or a thought provoking nature essay, we hope that taking an Alder Creek title off of the shelf is like getting together with an old friend.
As you explore our offerings you’ll find titles for the angler, the craftsman, the weekend woodsman, and the contemporary Thoreau. Titles for those who love to fly fish and those who love a fly fisherman.
At Alder Creek we believe a good book should not only read well but look good too. Attractive dust jackets, quality bindings and hard covers along with artistic illustrations make an Alder Creek title a visual as well a literary journey. At Alder Creek we know that picking up a good book, feeling the strength of its spine and crispness of a page is still an important part of a “Good Read.” I trust you’ll agree.
Time and time again, the fly fisher's search for the finest hard leather cases ends with Arne Mason of Ashland Oregon.
Influenced by both traditional European hand stitching and western saddlery techniques, Mason has developed a distinct personal style. Characterized by tasteful classic designs and uncompromisingly clean, hand mitered French edges, Mason's work continues to set the standard by which the fly-fishing industry's leather work is measured.
His leather is the finest grade A English Bridle tanned in the USA. English Bridle is the most durable leather, the interior is hot-stuffed with natural oils and the surface is waxed, making it the traditional choice for outdoor use.

Some are infused with a passion for fishing that consumes the soul. A lucky few of us share the fondness for the purity of the sport, akin to the waters in which we wade. Form and function blend together for a quiet day on the water, bamboo rod in hand, and a line taut with possibilities.
For those that know the feeling, bamboo fly rods offer just that.
A one of a kind, handcrafted split bamboo fly rod that combines art and the art of angling. Each order is custom built from start to finish. As the client, you are invited to give as much or as little input in the building process as you like. Feel free to choose the taper, wrap colors, hardware, and reel seat options as you wish.
