Re: Tenkara

Ok I had to look up Tenkara. Kinda neat. Seems like the Japanese are really good at refining age-old techniques.

My experience with stream fishing this time of year is that the trout aren't especially picky...but I'm far from an expert on that kind of fishing. That prince fly looks like a killer.

Re: Tenkara

I didn't know what this style of fishing was until I youtubed it.  I've been using this technique for a long time, but with the traditional rods and flies.  I'll have to see about getting a setup like this, it is effective!

Re: Tenkara

I haven't been but my buddy just uses standard dry fly (elk hair caddis etc.) or soft hackle wet fly setup.
