So somehow I ended up returning to the Highlands from the BFFI with not one but
two Tenkara rods.
I am intrigued.
Not by how I ended up with two rods - that's a long story for another day - but by the whole method. I've not tried it and if I'm honest I've paid it scant notice beyond flicking through various articles and thinking 'fad'. OK, as I now own two Tenkara rods.... probably best learn some more. This just got real
Sure, I get that there's no casting as such, the rods are telescopic and the flies are typically dries or semi dries - so sounds a lot like dapping, but without the complication of a blow line, a reel and other irritating bits of kit
Bit like pole fishing maybe, but with a fly rather than bait.
I am immediately struck with the thought that I really wouldn't want to connect with anything 'large' using this kit, but I'm prepared to experiment
So, do we have any forum members who would care to reveal their secrets to the art of Tenkara
Any Tenkara pros
