Locations:

Rod Builders Institute currently offers classes in two locations in the Pacific Northwest. Our primary location is Orofino, Idaho, situated on the Clearwater River about 42 miles east of Lewiston, Idaho. The natural beauty, scenic mountains and abundant nature draw visitors year round to the area to enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities including world-class fishing and hunting.

Our alternate location is Portland, Oregon, situated on the Columbia River at its confluence with the Willamette River. Another beautiful and scenic location, Portland is also a destination site for those who enjoy the outdoors plus the refinements of a major metropolitan center.

We do, from time to time, conduct classes in other population centers in the northwest by special arrangement. Contact Joe directly for information
