Technically speaking, it isn't Tenkara if it isn't trout. Hera fishing is for Herabuna carp, Hae fishing is for mountain chub, etc etc. Each fish has its own style and tackle in Japan. Pretty cool. Tenkara rods vary greatly in the US too, but many of the companies here didn't really do the "homework" and so one must be cautious if one wants a truly nice quality japanese rod, to choose the right one. They are much more complicated than crappie poles, but ultimately a similar idea for sure. Its really a fun way to fish.Klagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404953454187858180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271872397720787748.post-42821274507187764432016-11-17T06:56:45.857-08:002016-11-17T06:56:45.857-08:00What a great day we had!

Thanks for showing me around some of your local streams, it was a blast! <br /><br />That first big take in the dry fly pool was fun, I still have the image of that fish twisting sideways to come down on your fly from above. Great moment..Klagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404953454187858180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271872397720787748.post-61946221381761612422016-11-16T14:22:02.628-08:002016-11-16T14:22:02.628-08:00I haven't fished that section in a while, thou...I haven't fished that section in a while, though I really want to. I know this is when the big brookies there are most accessible.

"Pole fishing" as used for crappie and bluegills as well as course fish in the UK is nothing like Tenkara which uses a slightly modified fly cast.RM Lytlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177569674375245099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271872397720787748.post-53318163190459883452016-11-16T14:14:55.247-08:002016-11-16T14:14:55.247-08:00They used it but it was just not enough.They used it but it was just not enough.RM Lytlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177569674375245099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271872397720787748.post-46297468566725848452016-11-15T07:40:46.535-08:002016-11-15T07:40:46.535-08:00Did you try fishing above the pond? -Dan Did you try fishing above the pond? -Dan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271872397720787748.post-51462664737547811192016-11-15T06:32:18.362-08:002016-11-15T06:32:18.362-08:00That was a good fishing day.
