About Us
Highland Mills Rod Co. was founded by Thorney Lieberman in 2002 as the Tea Stick Rod Co. In order to accomodate its rapid growth, the company was restructured and renamed in 2007.
Thorney has flyfished for over 30 years, mostly with cane, and brings his passion for both using and collecting bamboo flyrods to the business of Highland Mills Rod Co.
He had a distinguished career photographing architecture in New York and counted the architect I.M. Pei among his clients. A book of his photographs, Manhattan Lightscape, was published by Abbeville Press. All the pictures on this site - from rods and reels to streams - are Thorney's photographs, and include some of his favorite fishing spots.
