Hi Guys, Gals and Weirdo's

Hi everybody after reading watching and lurking in the shadows its time to come out into the light and confess to everyone that I have embraced Tenkara with an open heart, crikey that felt good it seems like all my past maggot drowning sins have been absolved and it didn't hurt a bit.
The names Martin, I live in South Yorkshire but try to spend as much time near a river as possible, when not there I,m on the Internet watching, reading and buying Tenkara, been to a couple of fantastic talks about Tenkara given by Paul G and JP very interesting and learing something new everyday. A also attended a Tenkara day aranged by Fluf with Phil and Steve, great day but caught nowt as the river was down on its bones.
Enough said now hope everyones had a good Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

Martin......

Welcome Martin, glad you decided to come out. I found it quite a liberating experience ditching my reel, I'm still getting a lot of funny looks on the river bank but you learn to rise above it.

You have done the right thing going to some first rate instruction with the DT boys to get you off on the right foot.
Good luck with it all and have fun
