Thread: A New Rod for Xmas

    Default A New Rod for Xmas

    I am now the owner of an 11ft Iwana Tenkara rod.
    I won't be able to use it until next spring, never mind,
    it is my Xmas present to myself.
    I have not been able to fish for about 2.5 years.
    I am hoping this ultra light weight will be easier for me.

    ... to another, good for you Donald.

    Looking forward to hearing about your adventures, and to seeing some pixels of your part of the world and the fishies that rise to your Tenkara angle. Bet they will be chasing some pretty special flies.

    The fish are always right.

    I'm just thrilled to hear about the new rod John! AND that you will be fishing again. Hurrah for you (and us too because I just know we are going to hear about your adventures. I hope, I hope *S*)
    Hugs,

    Very nice Donald! I think you've got the right set of flies for this new adventure as well. Based upon some sites I found years ago, I would try something akin to a wingless Hardy's favorite. Look forward to hearing of your outings.
