i would be interested coming up to Idaho if logistics work out (family and work schedules).
Thanks Larry.
Is that an open event, i.e. can anybody go regardless of FFF affiliation? Or do you need to be a member?
great thanks. same rule as for ski poles I figure (in case you were wondering). cheers!
I got several wading staffs that I haven't been using but should - a point I will make during this Winter or at the latest next Spring.
The question I have though, what is the "right" size of...
I might be fishing both rods this weekend; I fished the 43MF just a week ago for the first time and was very impressed. It feels stiff, just like the Amago, but not as top heavy. I caught a bunch of...
you can also use 30lb backing as "ersatz" lilian in the meantime.
They look like "flymphs" to me, anybody know the difference? I have been playing lately with tying my kebaris with palmered hackle, although only the thorax, not the entire fly.
welcome to a new obsession!
I might be wrong but I don't think they had cork handles on bamboo tenkara rods before the introduction of telescopic carbon fiber or fibre glass tenkara rods... Would those bamboo tenkara rods not...
I add it to all my lines - level or furled/traditional. I would argue that its actually light enough not to break water surface tension by itself. you can attach it easily to a level or tippet with a...
Look into Tenkarabum's tanago rods -
The list of available models are here: http://www.tenkarabum.com/daiwa-tanago-rods.html. I had a great time fishing this short rod but it requires a lot of...
I just put up a little contest/giveaway on my blog for some tenkara swag, asking fellow tenkara anglers to submit "their tenkara story".
Details can be found here:...
I don't think you will need a hera rod for the occasional big bass. A "stiffer" tenkara rod like the Tenkara USA Amago or Yamame with appropriate tippet should perform just fine. You would be...
congrats, Chris!
I did last year, but fishing was very slow. Traditional tenkara techniques are not as effective, so dead-drifting midges (if necessary with a mini strike indicator) might be the name of the game....
Hi all, I thought I would share this event here in case you haven't heard about it yet. Daniel Galhardo of Tenkara USA will do a little intro/demo/workshop/presentation on Oct. 22 in RMNP. This event...
The forward facing hackle style of Tenkara flies is the most common and most known style. The forward facing hackle, especially if it is the softer hackles (such as hen or game birds like partridge,...
There is no reason whey they wouldn't work on a "Western" fly fishing rig, but they will likely require the "appropriate presentation".
I would define Tenkara style flies that historically...
Thanks for the edit, I wonder why I couldn't figure it out, lol. Next time I will test the links.

Hi guys,
I just had the pleasure doing a short video about Tenkara with Steve Schweizter (author of A Fly Fishing Guide to Rocky Mountain National Park and co-founder of www.globalflyfisher.com). We...
Cool, Igor's site has a lot of options (maybe too much, lol) if you start out with Tenkara. I would be interested to see some pictures and maybe a review of this rod?
I caught & landed a nice little brown from the South Platte as my first fish with Tenkara (a few minutes before I did a long distance release on a rainbow that pushed 18"). I think it was also my...
Cool! I think we could do a little Tenkara "intro" for folks interested - or just have you tag along for a tenkara fishing trip. I do have "loaner" tenkara rod so I don't mind sharing.
I did...
I was wondering how many of us Tenkara addicts are in the Denver area or Colorado. It might be nice to have a "get-together" either on stream or social to exchange thoughts, experience and to get to...
