I have two fly fishing poles that belonged to Ira, and were later used by both my grandfather Frederick K. Wood, and my father Wm. Barker Wood. The larger is a bamboo pole in its stocking; the smaller has the reel with it. The larger one is marked BF Nichols, Maker, Boston, Mass. Can you tell me anything more about this maker? I'd be grateful to find out who he was.
