I’m slightly confused with what rod and line to order. I fish a fairly large river which can flow at times very fast and deep. I nymph fish most of the time using tandem rigs, either two nymphs or nymph dropper and dry fly indicator. The fish sizes are from usually 6” up to 5 lb. I'm thinking a Tenkara USA Yamame and 4.5 level line.
My question is:
Which rod and line would you suggest for my style of fishing?
Regards
Gig

I wish I could but I am far too new to this Tenkara lark to really be able to offer any advice. I have a Yamame rod and it is awesome. As far as I can tell the rod itself will be able to handle the set ups you have mentioned.

Hi Gig Work tends to keep me away from the computer most of the week. The rod that I use is the 12ft Iwana, it is a very soft rod, you can watch the nymphs bouncing along the bottom as you follow them downstream. While they they say it's for the small size fish, I have hooked and landed a Salmon over 12lb using 4lb leader. So don't be put off with the lighter setup, it's the way you handle the fish when it's on the hook thats important. You will be surprised how much these rods are designed to bend, they tire the fish out very quickly. I Have used the rod on both small and large rivers with no problems yet.
Simon.

Yamame would be fine, and 12' Iwana would also work. For a fairly large river I would probably use the Amago because it is longer and will give greater reach.
Either 4 or 4.5 line would be fine with any of those three rods.
