Fish the small streams. Bought a Tenkara to solve a particular problem but find myself using it in other circumstances too.

It's a drug !
Don't look back...I started 3 years ago and rarely use anything else.
Tight lines.

It's a drug ! Don't look back...I started 3 years ago and rarely use anything else. Tight lines. Well, it's ok in certain places, but not convinced its that pleasurable everywhere. You may be able to fish a difficult place with this method but is it the best or most enjoyable method? I'm a convert when it works. The almost 100% connection to a dry fly rise suites me fine. The explosive fight of a six inch trout on such light tackle is a joy. Mine is in the back of my vest most of the time if needs be. Fished a tight canopy this evening. Everything went wrong. The tangle that takes an age to sort out. The fly with a perfectly vanish free hole that for some reason it took five minutes to thread ( I kid you knot) I manage to spike any number of fish without landing one. You just get these days. There is a little stretch just above a bridge where the T can have an open canopy. After a smallie got a very vigorous seven incher. In the end I went home happy.

Tenkara isn't the universal answer to all situations, but in the right place at the right time it is unbeatable as far as presentation is concerned. As for fish not being hooked properly & dropping off a smooth sweep of the rod is needed to get the mid sections bent in order to pull the hook fully home as the tips are too fine to exert any real hooking power. It also helps to use very sharp, fine wire barbless hooks.
