That is a good point! And I’d love to see this implemented in wood.

Sorry for the late response- somehow this was stuck in ‘hold for review’?!? But welcome to Tenkara! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to hit me up with any questions if need be.

Oh bummer- is it playing too loud on KZbin? Sorry about that. Thanks for watching, though. Take care!

Thanks for watchin’ !😎

And I too, to the mid-West (mid-East for me?) Thanks for checking it out!

Hope you try it! Thanks for watching!

That makes sense- thanks!

You should! It’s very easy to get started, and you don’t need much gear. A rod/line/tippet/ and fly… and some fishy water! Thanks for watching!

Not sure. Granted, I haven’t googled it, yet. Wanted to see if anyone else has ever come across one. But yeah, it’s gotta be measuring/monitoring something.

Haha- more like stupid! I actually had one, believe it or not. Thought I could go without… tossed it in the bushes… forgot about it, and had to drive all the way back out the next week to get it!!! Fished of course, making it alright. But no, not brave😎

Yeah- those were some slimey rocks! And kind of unique to the area, I wonder if there’s some kind of mineral in the water there that the algae likes. I don’t come across it like that too often. Thanks for watchin/commenting.

You bet! Thanks for watching- been enjoying your vids, too!

@@gokofly Thank you! Appreciate the support 🙏

Oh yeah- I've got one of those too. Holds a ton of stuff! I keep it in my pack loaded up as a 'spare' kit for those times (or three) when I forget something important. Thanks for watching'!

Hey now, there’s only ONE paper clip in there….haha! Makes sense though- I loved that show. Thanks for watchin’!

@@gokofly yeah dude! Keep it up! Great production you have!

I actually used it a bunch last (2022) season, and was trying to figure out how to do a video about it, because there’s a bit more to it. Probably can’t tell in this video, but I tie a series of knots across the entire length of it and that (gives it weight???) ends up making it cast really well. It’s not like any other line I’ve tried, and almost slows down right at the tail end of the cast… giving me a second of control/accuracy I can’t compare to any other type of line. 80# might be the key- not sure. Also, it’s not good at all with (heavier) nymphs I’ve found. The knots start relatively close at the (Lilian) end and gradually get spaced further apart as they get to the tippet (end). Weird- but it works! Hoping to do a video some day explaining it all. Thanks for watching and asking about it!

Thanks for answering, enjoy

Maybe not with these… but I have found several ways to make Tenkara complicated! Thanks!

Haha- do it!

@gokofly oh yeah I definitely will material's are already in my Amazon cart

Thanks. I’m just out having fun, and they’re trying to survive. So I figure it’s the least I could do!

It’s almost that time of year again! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! I’ll have to try that out next time I'm there again (in the spring)!

@@gokofly You will master it all.. 😊

Haha! Glad you like it. 😎

No problem! Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback- and thanks for watching! And just so you know- the GoPro makes all the fish look smaller, too… and changes the numbers on the net, haha!

Yeah, same here- I really started to like fishing because of Tenkara.

Do it! You might have to get a reel, but the rod itself is pretty cheap. Fun too! Good luck!

Thanks for watching! Water was still a bit high at the time on that section. When lower, it’s a bit easier to get around = more fish😎

Welcome- thanks for watchin’!

Thanks man! I know right?! I wasn't expecting to catch anything in that part of the water... (my)desperation led to motivation, I guess!?!

Thanks! Even though I feel these mountain fish are less picky (more desperate), sometimes even swapping light/dark doesn’t cut it. But once I figure what general tone they’re going for, I’ll stick within that range for the session. I’ve been diving into bugs more this year- and how temps, weather, and time of day matter, which might inspire me to change things up next season. Take care!

Hey @LaneCountyBigfooters- Welcome! Thanks for watch'n, sub'n, and all the great comments! Hopefully that info proves useful for you as well. And yes, I'm very fortunate to have access to such a beautiful area- and I want to keep the fish in it happy ;). I started Tenkara near the end of 2017, or maybe it was '18, and can't get enough of it. I've definitely managed to take a simple thing and turn it into something much more complicated!!! If you've ever got a question or want to bounce an idea of me, feel free to reach out with a comment on this or any one of my other vids. I'm not a pro or anything, but this can be a lonely sport if you're trying to figure it out all by yourself. If I can't answer, someone else will probably chime in. Take care!

“I caught a fish, I’m happy” Me too…

Thanks! It’s such a beautiful place😎

Hey- thanks for asking! Nothing attached to the line for a sighter. But it is two-toned. Starts out orange and then the last few feet toward the fly are black. I like it for nymphing because it kind of helps me gauge depth a little. Here’s the Amazon link: www.amazon.com/MAXIMUMCATCH-Maxcatch-Tenkara-Tapered-Fishing/dp/B075H6XP19/ref=mp_s_a_1_20?crid=YAHLYJYZT65X&keywords=furled%2Bline%2Baventik&pscroll=1&qid=1660252055&sprefix=furled%2Bline%2Baventik%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-20&wIndexMainSlot=22&th=1&psc=1 I like the solid yellow and orange to black lines- but not the striped/zebra versions… too hard for me to see especially if I have on a tiny or dark fly.

@@gokofly thanks I use a 3.5 orange fluorocarbon level line but can be very hard to see at times. I can clearly see your line which can mean fewer missed hook sets.

Haha- not for me! Unfortunately, I still miss plenty😎

Thanks for the great comment! I’ve got a couple more ‘be the fish’ style videos coming. I just need to stop fishing and actually edit some vids!! The water is just starting to get really good. 🎣

@@gokofly Looking forward to it. BTW, which app do you use to edit your video?

Believe it or not- still just using iMovie!

Thanks and thanks for watchin’! Been enjoying your vids too😎

@@gokofly thank you! 😁
