Tenkara fly-fishing

Daniel W. Galhardo, founder of Tenkara USA and Masaki Nakano go tenkara fly-fishing in the Sierra Nevada. Tenkara is the traditional Japanese method of fly-fishing, ideal for mountain streams. In tenkara one uses only a rod, line and fly, no reel is needed for stream fishing. Originally it was practiced by commercial/professional fishermen in the mountain streams of Japan, who used to catch fish for a living.

    Very nice. However, I shall be sticking to my 5? foot rod and tiny dries as the big Lune brownies and sea trout tend to keep running hard, meaning the extra reassurance of a fly reel is comforting. Plus the danger of hooking a salmon is ever-present too…

    I dont care if your using a twig and shoe lace? if your out fishing and having a good time props to you and god bless – from canada and may your rods stay bent

    not a big deal, it’s? called valsesiana, in italy, and it’s quite a traditional fishing style…dunnow where the innovation is…

  12. uke5417 says:

    A pole, a line, a fly. I’m figuring less than? four ounces of gear for my upcoming 222-mile JMT trek. Perfect.

  13. NStightlines says:

    It’s a cool method for small fish in small streams, I wouldnt ever use it for Steelhead/Salmon or even average sized fish to be honest….But cool video guys… Best Regards, Check Out “Steelhead Pulse” it is some cool footage of Point of View Steelhead on? the Fly Rod in Lake’s Superior’s Immense Watershed

  14. Captain Norms says:

    Tenkara rods are resilient, but? not indestructible. True 🙂

  15. tenkarausa says:

    Levwood, the rod does a very good job at? working as the “drag”. Please lookup “big fish tenkara” here on youtube for an idea.

  16. levwood says:

    if you hook a good fish, how do you keep it on the line without? a reel and drag?

  17. Branden Kreil says:

    Such beautiful little? fish! Great video!

  18. dan3nad says:

    i just imagined 2 grown men skippin around in the? woods with these rods….dressed in pink

  20. PHARRAOH says:

    i just ordered mine. looks? awesome!

  21. MusicisSol says:

    even an ugly stick is? not telescoping……enough said

  22. MusicisSol says:

    these guys hook a 5 inch trout and have to run to shore to land it…..try fishing a spring creek with this primitive? gear
    .

  23. MusicisSol says:

    Sorry but i watched the video again and that’s great. but what about accuracy and timing? I don’t know how much line is on one of these “telescoping” poles as we’ll call it but what if a beautiful brown is rising or eating scuds 2 feet put of range? Are you going to move through the riffle and create a massive disturbance and not hook the fish. Having a reel allows you to cast to? a rising fish right in front of you or 60 feet in front of you. Grab a real fly rod and fish efficiently folks.

  24. MusicisSol says:

    cool video, but as an avid fly fisherman for both trout and lake run species i really appreciate having a reel. i fish many small streams that are less than 6 feet wide and I? still make long cast and appreciate having a reel to get line in and properly land and release a fish. no offense to tenkara but I will always believe in having a reel for fishing. you cant drive a car if it has no wheels. check and mate.
