Biographical Note
Gary Howells was a renowned designer and manufacturer of high-quality bamboo fly rods. He worked for Winston Rod Company until 1970 when he went out on his own as a rod builder. Because of high demand Gary limited rods to one per customer per year. He was also an avid angler who fished across the Western U.S. Canada, and South America. Gary won several Field and Stream awards for fish caught during the early 1960’s. Gary passed away on April 9, 2000 in Richmond, California.
