Our customer service staff member, John Geer, says “Sometimes I think tenkara rods are as much for catching beauty as they are for catching fish.” Wouldn’t you agree?

This is a picture of the Japanese trout called “Amago”. Our friends John Pearson and Paul Gaskell of Discover Tenkara, just returned from their trip to Japan where they went to spend time with our teacher Dr. Ishigaki and other well-known tenkara anglers. They captured some beautiful images of the Japanese trout. We’ll share them with you here and I’m sure you’ll see them in our blog pretty soon too.
