Great stuff TCZ

We've got many waters, especially in out wild uplands, where this style of fishing would be a big big hit, must get round to giving it some serious attention. (Any excuse to buy some more fishing tackle eh?)

Was really interested in the do's and dont's list detailed at the end of the second article.

To be fair these fit in perfectly as advice offered to anyone targeting big fish in Scottish waters, especially rivers.  Each point is perfect, but especially like the last one; 'Smile you're fishing.'  It's something i wax lyrical often especially when dealing with the 'lost' fish scenario.  You've done the hard (and arguably best) bit, landing the fish is secondary.  In the end a lost fish simply means you've missed out on the chance to weigh it (trophy fish only) and take it's photo.

Two well stated views there Mr tenkara.cz

I purchased a 12' Iwana 6:4? a couple of years back and I have used it on two occasions, for a very limited time. The first wee river that I used it on had lots of overhanging branches and I felt that I wasn't doing the method justice.

I am keen to catch a fish on it and hopefully next season I will.

 To Iain: I've infected by tenkara more than dozen of anglers personally. It's great to see people, that falling in love with this exciting fishing style in ten minutes. The necessary and sufficient conditions are well-tuned gear and the presence of fish in the river.
