| 20. Tenkara Fishing on Water – Misako Ishimura. Learn this unique fishing style that originated in Japan at least 200 years ago. Tenkara is the traditional Japanese method of fly fishing where only a rod, line and a fly are used. Tenkara is about fly fishing simplicity and mountain stream effectiveness. Eleven- to 14-foot long rods allow anglers to fish mountain streams in a way that is nearly impossible with Western fly gear. Telescopic rods collapse down to a mere 20 inches, and few things are needed, making Tenkara ideal for backpacking. Equipment: Tenkara rod. If you don’t have one, contact the FFF office before May 10, 2012. |
