Can not wait to get this in hand and tackle the late trout in small streams and might even try it with the small puppy drums in the grasses in the creeks off the bay

small creeks and ponds...

First time and I did get a small trout….but I’ve got to practice starting this spring as winter is approaching fast…I only got to try it out on the last day of trout fishing in New Hampshire…and it was cold and windy…but I’m glad I did...

tenkara - the book

I like using my tenkara rod in: Very small streams, Mountain streams
The mountains, it seems to be compatible with hiking, backpacking, sauntering through the trees.

The book is incredible, I’ve used a reel fly setup for many years, I am awestruck with the techniques and the philosophy. I tend to make hodgepodge flys- chop up material and wrap it up, and I do catch fish. So I understand that technique can be the game changer. I am looking forward to trying out the techniques this spring. I am awaiting the hard copy. A book such as this deserves a place on the bookshelf or even coffee table.

The universal rod cap is a perfect upgrade to the original plug that came with my Amago rod purchased 10 years ago. I had dropped the plug many times and fortunately was able to grab it in the water before it floated away…except the last time. I’ve fished a couple of times with the Keeper and it works great with my amazing Amago rod. Loose the plug, go with the Keeper.

I fished with my Iwana for three times. It was fun, I was really starting to enjoy it. Then on the fourth time out my rod Jammed into the handle. I took on bottom screw out so I could nudge the rib loose. When I did it all shot out of the handle in pieces. I never found all the sections to the rod.
