I like using my tenkara gear to catch: Smaller size fish (say 8-12" / 20-30cm)
I like using my tenkara rod in: Mountain streams, Stillwater, Backpacking and remote waters
Sierras - streams and lakes

Fun and easy to use. I was catching fish right away.

I like using my tenkara gear to catch: Smaller size fish (say 8-12" / 20-30cm), Other species
I like using my tenkara rod in: Stillwater
So far, still water that contains freshwater fish, but I'll expand outside of that to streams as ...

I got the rod to catch smaller, varied species to document them for iNaturalist. But the sporting aspect of it has been super fun too, as a one pound Largemouth Bass, or a large Common Sunfish, really bends the rod.

I've been mostly fishing beaded flies, streamers, something that has some weight, as I've found it a bit hard to load the road to get lighter, dry flies on the water. A bit of a learning curve, I suppose, with more practice needed.

The portability of the rod is excellent, and both the sock and case protect it from all the other stuff bouncing around in my vehicle during field trips. For as thin as the rod tip is, it seems surprisingly durable, but I appreciate the lifetime warranty just in case something goes awry.
