I wasn't expecting to have my fishing life changed! This is the first I had heard of tenkara, and I've fallen in love with the style. Thanks for introducing me to a wonderful new way to enjoy fly fishing!<br /><br />For the record, I find that streamers and bucktails work great with tenkara, at least on the rod I have.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14351905188888212494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-78997492210884082592015-12-24T07:52:04.263-05:002015-12-24T07:52:04.263-05:00Noel, The streamers are for my Western rod, though...Noel, The streamers are for my Western rod, though I did try them with the tenkara once.

Guess I'm still not trying hard enough.<br /><br />Anyway, great bike with a great name (I enjoy mountaineering in the winter and have noticed the same kind of attitude or "feel" for sport among both mountaineers and "adventure touring" cyclists), and a good tenkara rod seems to fit right in.<br /><br />Looking at your fly box, though, I wonder if you're actually hucking streamers with your tenkara rod...Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09890582678460387509noreply@blogger.com
