    Default New to Tenkara

    Can the tenkara rod be used for short line nymphing? And if so what is the setup. I usually fish midges (size 18-20 with a 5/64 tung bead ) suspended 24 to 36 nches below a very small yarn indicator. Will this work with the tenkara style fishing? I have just ordered a fountainhead stonefly 12 foot rod.

    Thanks

    You can fish it any way you want. If you fish it like a Tenakra you won't need an a bobber.

    Simple answer is yes. You'll have to play with it to get the gist but it will work just fine. really you don't even need an indicator. It casts really well and makes almost no splash. The biggest problem I've had so far is getting it to sink but not to fast. I would almost suggest using brass instead of tungsten, but that will be a choice to make given the situation. I got my Fountain head 333 over the winter and I am loving it.
