Tenkara USA is dedicated to bringing the traditional method of Japanese fly-fishing, tenkara, to those in pursuit of angling simplicity.
The first company outside of Japan fully dedicated to tenkara fly-fishing, Tenkara USA will bring you the best in fly-fishing gear: tenkara rods, tenkara lines , traditional tenkara flies, and a few other essential tenkara items.
Tenkara is the traditional Japanese method of fly-fishing that is ideal for fly-fishing mountain streams. We believe in promoting traditional tenkara practices, sharing with you what tenkara is like in its country of origin, and developing the best possible tools specifically made for tenkara.
We also believe everyone can embark on their own search for tenkara and that tenkara needs not be limited to mountain streams, trout or the techniques we share with you. Tenkara can be seen either as just a tool, or as a complete method.
As a tool, tenkara can be used for a variety of techniques you may be familiar with, such as nymphing, swinging soft hackles, using dry flies and more. But, tenkara is also a complete method that was developed in the hands of commercial anglers in Japan over hundreds of years. The tradition of such an effective method of fly-fishing should not be lost as it is introduced to the world. Thus, Tenkara USA will aim at preserving the traditional method as it is practiced by tenkara masters in Japan, and sharing it with you so you know what tenkara really is. By learning directly from teachers in Japan and having access to them as resources, Tenkara USA and its founder Daniel W. Galhardo, hope to share with you real tenkara. But, as they say in Japan, "tenkara has ten colors". We hope everyone will find joy and satisfaction in their own tenkara experience. We just want to be here to remind you how simple fly-fishing can really be and to provide you with the best possible tools for tenkara.
We will be sharing our tenkara experiences, information on tenkara culture, history, techniques and more through our blog, and hope you'll help us create a vibrant tenkara community in our tenkara forum forum, where you can share your knowledge and experiences with each other.
Tenkara is also a great way to get kids engaged in the tradition of fly-fishing, to catch your own food while backpacking, or to simply enjoy the fishing experience. We created a page that talks about tenkara with section containing all the necessary information for tenkara learn. Like anything simple, it can be easy to do, yet challenging to master. In our blog we discuss techniques to master the method, sharing with you mountain stream conservation , and committed to the Planet through the 1% for the Planet intiative. We will donate at least 1% of your purchase to the environment.
