Spring fed Ozark stream

Been fishing for many years with traditional fly rod gear. Thought I would try a Tenkara set up. What a hoot! Perfect match for drifting small flys to trout on my home waters. Great addition to my fly gear .. so happy to have given it a try.

Did manage to break the tip- my fault. Called Tenkara USA - promptly sent out a replacement. 5 star worthy service.

small mountain streams

The Ukiyo I purchased was a gift for my daughter. We've been test fishing with it a couple of times, though it is January here in Colorado, I really like the light feel of this rod and am excited to fish mountain streams with my daughter and her Ukiyo this summer....I like this rod so much, I might have to get one for myself!

Everywhere the opportunity provides

I find TenkaraUSA staff and equipment to be outstanding.
I'm a disabled veteran and found the simplicity of fly fishing tenkara to be extremely relaxing. No drama having to deal with all the extra line/gear with western fly fishing.
Simplicity and light weight ready to go anytime anywhere.
