“Hallo” all Tenkara UK members-my first post and hopefully with
lots more to follow.
Well I finally got my Tenkara pole and I am very impressed by the
quality and the feel of the product.
Gave it a go the other day for grayling on the Clyde.
Although I didn't catch, it handled lovely – great control and how
light it is.
What a pleasure to use.
Simon(Custom Furles) I used the green colored furled leader.
It took me ages to work out the knot to use for attaching it to
the pole. Its easy, but for some reason my brain couldn't work it
out- I'm OK now.
I was nymphing and think that the yellow may have been better
because I like to see the line going into the water.
If you also do them in red I may order a couple.
Once the weather gets better and the ice has gone from our
stocked pond
(probably be by the start of the trout season the way it is going
up here in Scotland)
I want to try the pole for catching our little wild brownies.
They hang around the margins and the pole would be ideal for
flicking the dry over the reeds.
The only trouble would be if I hooked into one of our bigger
residents-they go up to 12lb with an average of 3lb.
Don't want to break my Tenkara on the first fish I hook.
Thats all for now-good fishing to you all. Peter
