Tenkara, a traditional Japanese fishing method, has gained popularity in the West for its simplicity, productivity, and pleasure. Unlike traditional fly fishing, tenkara requires only a long, collapsible rod, a length of line tied to the end, and a fly. Without the need for a reel, casting techniques become effortless and intuitive. The gear is inexpensive and easily portable, making it ideal for hiking and camping.
This comprehensive book is a must-have guide for anyone interested in tenkara. It covers the essentials of gear and rigging, the origins of tenkara, fishing dry flies, subsurface fishing, and casting techniques. It also provides tips on tenkara backpacking and fishing for women.
Tenkara has been featured in prestigious publications such as Field & Stream, American Angler, and Fly, Rod & Reel magazines, and has received endorsements from environmentalist Yvon Chouinard, CEO of Patagonia. Major retail outlets are now selling tenkara rods, making it easier for anglers to experience this unique and rewarding fishing method.
Whether you are a seasoned fly fisherman or a beginner looking for a simpler and more enjoyable way to enjoy the sport, tenkara is worth exploring. Its simplicity, portability, and effectiveness make it a great option for anglers who want to experience the joy of fishing without the cumbersome gear and complexity of traditional fly fishing.
