tenkara - the book

Love the book!

wonderful resource to start and refine your practice. beautiful illustrations

it was alright...learned a couple of things and got a handle on this style of fishing...QR codes were nice though some didn't seem to work...all in all watching videos is better and getting out and doing it is the best way to learn

Emjoyed the history and techniques of Tenkara. Thorough in the technique instruction.

I bought the Sato and I fumbled that first try, have brook fished VT and NH since I was very young and this new tool to do so excites me . Unfortunately it have not been out after that and am waiting until i reread the book to ensure I get the correct line and all. 75 % of my trout fishing has only one very specific lure ( 1/16 oz Thomas spoon gold only. In this part of the United States I will make you look bad when you see how quickly and constant my results are. Often my uncles will run the traditional fly rods fishing the Ottauquechee river through Bridgewater and Woodstock VT. Not having learned the specific style I will run ahead 50-100 yds with my Thomas and as long as I beach it across the river and crank hard and fast they tend not struck but wow does it wind them up just in time for the uncles flies to come a drifting bye.. super good time and so many laughs at how I always seem to wake up the feeding ( well as long as we hit it just before they start grabbing off the surface, my Thomas works like none other. ). All that being said and so off topic if there are trout an a spot I stop, hungry or not they will be after me in just a few throws.. it will be epic to show up unequipped and only my rod line and fly and show em up all the same . Line is my hold up in short, the memory on the line that came in the kit was like tossing a slinky out how I bounced back and well the hand made level line claims to have les to none of that so hope to make the right choice next and never look back at my thomas
