That looked like a wet one! It is a challenge when the streams flow that thick and fast. I do enjoy the "ultralight" fishing, finding nature's hidden marvels and all that. I should take up trout fishing, it gets around the closed season after all! Thank you sir.
Hi Peter, pleased to see you are still using the Tenkara method. I’ve had a few very good sessions this year with my ultralight Kurenai 9ft rod which weighs less than 1 ounce and is perfect for small brownies and will also subdue a decent stocked fish if played carefully.
As a non trout fisher, that was very enjoyable and interesting. I like the idea of the tenkara, can i ask, do you still attach a length of fly line please? Tight lines.
@@peterfrost5475from what I can see, although tenkara level line is rated differently from other line, it just looks like thicker rated fluorocarbon say between 0.27 mm - 0.31 mm, the only difference is that the line is brightly coloured and this is what seems to command the higher price. Some tenkara level lines are ridiculously high priced
peter I liked the attitude you present.not just the fishing which I think is the greatest of sports. but all of nature around the flowers.and trees and birds. without this it would be a rather bland experience
I still like to fish with a rod and reel but sometimes the lightness and simplicity of tenkara on a small stream is delightful. Thank you for your comment.
I guess my point is this. If you are targeting fish at 10” and under that are sitting right in front of you then great. If you want to catch big fish farther than 20’ buy a proper rod and reel.
I would also say that I can do anything with my “traditional” rod that you can do with your tenkara, but there is no way you can angle the way I do with that twig
