Avid angler makes bamboo fishing rods

Zac Sexton is addicted to fly-fishing.

“I am literally addicted to it,” he said. “My wife is an addictions counselor, and she says I'm addicted to it. I don't do things I'm supposed to do so that I can go fishing, blow off responsibilities so I can go fishing, that's what I do."

And Sexton's day job at the county jail — or, in his case, overnight job — aids his addiction, because it leaves his afternoons wide open for standing in the flowing waters of Clear Creek to fish.
 

He'll even stay out so long some afternoons — until the final rays of sunlight are almost fully behind the Bighorns - that he's told his wife, Sarah, not to come looking for him until morning.

Sexton's passion for fly-fishing was sparked early in his life, he said, when he learned how to tie flies at just age 13.

By age 15 — before he even had his drivers license — he was working at a Buffalo store called Just Gone Fishing.

And by age 17, Sexton purchased his first bamboo fly-fishing rod — his now-preferred material — from an antique store in Buffalo.
