After a fishing trip, remove your fly rod from its tube and let it dry out. It is good for the cork and metal on a graphite or fiberglass rod and doing it is even more important for a bamboo rod. The best way to let your rod dry out is to remove it from the rod tube and sock and put it in a safe place to dry for a few days. Take your reel out of its case and let it dry out as well.
A wet cork handle in the tube can grow lots of mildew over a week or two before the next trip.
