Hi folks, a quick hello and thank you for accepting me into your group. I am a complete novice to tenkara but a fairly experienced western style fly fisher. Trout fishing near my home is quite limited so I have chased mostly coarse fish on the fly for the past couple of years.. I am particulary interested in the potential of tenkara for coarse fish and so have just purchased esoteric's lovely little zoom rod. So far I have only had chance to fish for a couple of hours (I haven't christened the rod yet) but already I'm really enjoying the unencumbered style and delicate presentations of tenkara. I am looking forward to reading the posts on tbis forum and would love to hear from anyone chasing coarse fish with tenkara. Cheers!

There have not been many posts about coarse fish recently, but once there were reasonable numbers. Take look at ''Stream and River Reports, Central England Waters''.
Perhaps you will re-kindle the flame? I hope so.
Chris.

Perhaps you will re-kindle the flame? I hope so. Chris. Thanks Chris - that would be good! There is much fine and fascinating sport to be had chasing coarse fish on the fly, as I'm sure you know. My special interest is perch and I am convinced that tenkara offers some advantages. I might post up some of my perch captures on conventional fly tackle to whet tenkara appetites! |
