I love tenkara fishing and just need to move my feet so the larger fish don’t get too far up or down stream on me and break me off!

Upper reaches of high streams.

I fished a few hours, exploring the stream as I went. I'm recovering from a leg injury and move very slowly. I've fished the stream twice and haven't seen any sign of fish.

Just a swell jacket. I love the color. I got this to use this as a spare rain jacket for my Yonah fanny pack(a perfect fit). It has rained a lot lately, so I have gotten to use thus a bunch and I couldn't be happier with it. It repels water like a champ!

My experience with Tenkara USA has been amazing. The customer support I received was amazing and Tenkara USA has made a customer for life. As an outdoor educator in Oregon it is important to has trust in the equipment you buy and having a company back up their product such as your company is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for having a well thought out model for what a company does.

Wonderful light weight rain jacket. Great Buy!!!

The first one I bought was a large size and it was too small for me so I gave it to my son. I ordered up one size to a X-large and it was a much
better fit but if you wanted to wear a sweater or vest under it then it would be a tight fit. I am giving this one to my son-in-law. (While I'm at it
maybe a diet as well). Both jackets were the olive-brownish color. This time I will order a XXL jacket so I have room to layer up if I need
some extra warmth. Please order one size up if you are young (under 50) and slim however, I'm 70+ and need a little extra room these days.
The jackets are excellent and well made. This is a must buy when you go in the mountains trout fishing since the weather can change at the
flip of a hat. You can thank me later but get one now while they are in stock.

Can this be diagnosed, replaced or refunded?
Thanks

modest ponds with vegetation.

Although not designed specifically to support how I often fish in eastern coastal NC, Ito is my is my favorite Tenkara rod for modest bass & panfish using small surface poppers & tiny bead head mop flies. Of course I could use conventional fly rod/reel tackle but believe I’m more successful limiting my focus to shorter distances where I can better anticipate and watch strikes by smaller fish.
