Just Me & My Tenkara Gear

[flyguy66]

Well, it looks like I'll be cut down to nothing but Tenkara fishing for quite some time beginning very soon. I've got 3 tears in my left rotator cuff and shoulder muscles and a blown out left knee. The shoulder is bad. I'm going to be looking at serious surgery and long rehab. That means one-handed fly tying and fishing for many months. It's a good thing I'm the guru of adaptive fly fishing and fly tying, huh? LOL

Inside every dark cloud is a silver lining. I've never felt good enough about my one-handed fly tying skills, and it will be fun to spend more time Tenkara fishing. I may even have to figure out how to catch some small saltwater fish Tenkara-style - like Pin Fish and Mangrove Snapper. That would be a hoot! In the meantime, I'll have to settle for bream and bass, and the occasional trout when I can get to the mountains.

You might want to look back in the archives if you really have a question. I've been hanging around FAOL since about 1999 and became a columnist in something like 2002. Wrote for Deanna for a few years before my time was too consumed by my volunteer work with FFF and Project Healing Waters. The fly fishing community is a fairly small world that's been made considerably smaller by the Internet.

Who cares you hypocrite.

Now that's rich! ROTFLMAO

Peace, love, and happiness to you too.

Not only can you fish the tenkara with one hand.... Right or left hand. It's also lighter than a rod w/ reel. So much easier especially if your arm or shoulder is hurting.
