... as in BIG water, BIG wind, BIG flies, and BIG fish**, alone or in combination.

If you accept a roughly 20-25' effective fishing radius from where you can position yourself -

If you can accept not effeciently and effectively fishing in more wind than a gentle breeze -

If you can accept fishing smaller, lighter flies and leaving the big hoppers and heavy stonefly nymphs in the box -

If you can accept losing fish to break offs of 5X tippet -

Tenkara is for you, maybe.

'cause there are also some little limitations. As in very little room in confined, low hanging foliage canopy situations, or little twisty creeks limiting casting angles, for example.

** It's not necessarily BIG fish, but strong fish in particular situations, like really heavy current, nasty instream cover, etc.
