Lulbegrud Creek Fly Rods are named after a creek in Kentucky where Dave and his best friend first fished as teenagers. Lulbegrud Creek borders a 3,500 acre plain where the only Shawnee Indian town in Kentucky historic times existed. Lulbegrud Creek was named by Squire Boone and his famous brother Daniel when they camped on its banks in 1770 waiting on supplies from their families in North Carolina. The name is derived from the fictional town Lorbrulgrud in Oliver Swift's epic Gulliver's Travels.  During that difficult winter, the book was their only source of entertainment and was the first known book brought to the western frontier called Kentucky. Whether building a new rod, repairing or restoring an old classic, with each rod - so goes Dave's Lulbegrud Creek memories.                             

Together....this is our goal

"A key part of fly fishing is learning that "while waters swirl around us, we watch, we wait, we study to be quiet. If our concentration is fierce enough, we find safe harbor, if only for a short while, on the holy waters of our favorite stream."  Field note from the Metolius River, Oregon 1992.
