It's so relaxing to watch your videos. I actually got my father out today and taught him how to cast on my rod. When he was a kid, he made some small wooden ladybugs, but never got to fish with them, so that's what we spend the day doing. We only caught one trout and one shiner, but it was still a great day!

@adamw8469 2 года назад

Happy to see you get caught in the trees too. I’m not alone.

@carybertoncini596 2 года назад

I think this aspect of your videos is a real strength - really adds to the realism, but also helps everyone watching to continue fishing and learning with patience. Everyone on occasion falls, loses fish, gets stuck in the trees, etc. - it's important to accept these little bumps and move on calmly, which you model very well :)

I purchased my first tenkara rod a month ago but haven’t had time to travel to the places I intended to use it in northern Arizona (I’m in Phoenix). I was at Bartlett lake today and the bass weren’t really biting but I made my way around to a cove that had a ton of structure and looked like a prime bluegill bed so I ran back to the car and got my rod. It felt so good to finally find out what a bite feels like on one of these rods. Caught 20+ little bluegill in an hour. Those hungry little guys will bite anything but still had fun. BTW my first rod is a Tenkara USA Iwana. Maybe a bit pricy for a starter but it seemed to suit all the ways I intend to use it.

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

That's awesome! Congrats!

@ianjones6910 2 года назад

The RHODO! My rod. If you ever want to fish in truly claustrophobic conditions, you need to head out East. Where I fish, it's a jungle.

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

I've seen pics, and you're not wrong!

@b52danno 2 года назад

The smaller 9’ rod by the same name as your 11’ you started out with is ideal for the small tight waters you fish. I call it the “Magic Wand” you will regret not getting it long ago! Get it. Will become your favorite go to rod, and fish waters to suit that rod instead of a rod to suit the waters. Cheers, enjoy your new magic wand. Kurenai HM30R 9’7”

@patricklundquist9869 2 года назад

Losing a fly gives the fish, and the fisherman, time to bleed off adrenaline and reset so not all bad. I have the Sato (10'8", 11'10", 12'9"). It appears the Rhodo (8'10", 9'9", 10'6") would be the perfect compliment.

Great video Tristan! Those Colorado Cutts are truly beautiful trout. The Elk Hair Caddis, in both the standard and CDC and Elk (which is tied with Deer Hair) are truly outstanding dry flies and very productive. It’s nice to see you fishing with some dry flies…Karl.

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

I've used it on several occasions but never bother to put floatant on or fish it any differently than I fish kebari. Still a great fly when sub-surface!

@dianerossetti3245 2 года назад

That looks so fun! Am going to have to try it, but first need to get set up with rod and flies 😅

@RandallW20 2 года назад

The Suntech HM33R is the first tenkara rod I bought and my go to. Granted I only have two, one for me and one for the wife. But I love that rod, it’s completely changed the game for me coming from western fly fishing. I’ve caught up to 20” browns and cutty’s on it. I’ve had to shorten the leader a bit for right quarters, but it works well. Definitely give it another try.

@chubsteriffic 2 года назад

We grew up hunting small trout. We actually started wearing camo to get close. Sun location (shadow) obviously a huge factor.

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

Yep, shadow is big. It can be tricky to both keep your shadow in check while also getting in the best spot to cast.

@FlickyFlies 2 года назад

I used to kind of hate the idea of zoom rods before I got the Dragontail FoxFIRE and started using it more. It's so powerful being able to collapse it down to 6 feet when needed, then extend it all the way up to 9 feet if it's possible. Those were some beautiful cutthroat!

@richardingraham6353 2 года назад

When you go out on a trip , do you do the filming for both of your channels on that one trip ? Love your vlogs and have a hard time waiting for another Saturday to come for new vlogs . 🙂

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

It depends. Sometimes a trip is just SUV RVing-focused, and other trips are Tenkara Addict-focused, and other trips are a mix. This trip was a mix.

@mattyman5dodge101 2 года назад

Very nice. A little more visual story-telling in this video. The montage of you crouched and inching along was new - really liked it. Also, when you missed a few fish, you let the GoPro linger with your disappointment. Keep up the cool shots.

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

I have the Pro Spec 320 but not the 360. Great rod. The 320 would have been perfect for this creek.

@josepheiden2777 2 года назад

Another great video. One thing, you mentioned that the 2nd rod your using is the Tenkara USA Rhodo. Are you sure it's not the Sato? The Rhodo has green accents (the Rhodo happens to be my go to favorite rod). The Sato has the red accents. It doesn't really matter. I have both and they each are great rods. I'm a big Tenkara USA fan.

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

It’s an older model of Rhodo. Same rod, different coloring.

@jeffreyriedenauer651 2 года назад

Great video Tristan. I was wondering if you were going to fish for CRCTs while in southern Utah. I know where your at but have only finished the high mountain head waters that contain CRCTs. The DWR has done a great job in restoring the native population. I’ve had a few days of over a dozen cut-throat in the net.

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

I have several videos of me catching CRCT in southern Utah from a few years ago. Beautiful area!

@910bigt 2 года назад

Bought my first tenkara rod a little while ago after following your channel and I'm in love with it! Got a question hoping you or others can weigh in on - I got the Dragontail Foxfire and love how it feels with tiny brookies yet can also handle quite large stocked rainbows/browns. Obviously though, accidentally hooking into a monster triploid is not what that rod is meant for and I lost the biggest fish of my life. What's your favorite rod that has a bit more backbone if needed, but isn't overkill for the average 13"-18" fish? Zoom rod preferably. Thank you for the awesome weekly videos!!

@robertkemp622 2 года назад

Beautiful little creek. Even at nine feet, the rhodo may have been a tad too long.

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

@dficertifiedfirearmstraini5234 2 года назад

I truly enjoy your adventures. I have a question that has been a problem for me.... Why do the trout you catch never swallow the hook? I assume you're using a #12 or #14 size hook, yet they are always removed with no effort whatsoever. Share the secret.

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

I don't know, to be honest. If you're using barbless hooks and setting the hook decently, you shouldn't have any problem with removing the hook

@dfzurichch 2 года назад

What is the biggest trout you caugh. I have a 13' setup hooked some 14" but not landed. I use 5x over in the Beaverkill NY

@sage4293 2 года назад

@Tenkara Addict, What Tenkara setup would you carry in a bug out bag and why?

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

Depends entirely on the water I'd be expecting. There is no one rod that is good for both tiny creeks and wide-open rivers.

@Sam62254 2 года назад

I enjoy your videos. How do you avoid trespassing on private property, and possibly getting shot at? Are these all Federal and State public lands that you fish, or are most of the landowners just friendly? I asked because I saw an orange property line tape in a tree on this video.

Hey Tristan I have just stumbled across your channel . Love everything I've watched so far! We definitely have many similarities I also have a new ie rv channel and I am a HUGE trout fisherman.

You'll have to search for them on Google or Etsy. I don't sell them. Some people's Idaho Killer Bugs are actually Idaho Killer Kebaris. They just messed up the name. (Source: I'm the guy who first tied and named the Idaho Killer Kebari 😄)

@missiondiscover 2 года назад

Just got into tenkara and am doing really well... About 200 so far on my tenkara USA iwana. My only issue is that I once got snagged on a rock and didn't know what to do since I didn't have enough slack to grab the line and snap it (just waded in to get it but I won't always have that option) how should I go about that in the future?

@TenkaraAddict 2 года назад

You've got to pull the line to snap off the fly one way or another if there's no other way to free your line. Ideally you can reach the line and pull it. If not, you can orient your rod in line with the line (i.e., straight) and pull on the rod. You should eventually be able to grab the line. Either that or the rod tippet will break before you get to the line. I've never encountered an issue where either one of those didn't work.
