First Tenkara fishing trip of the season.

[@tenkaraintheiowadriftless]

I very much enjoyed your video, thank you for sharing your experience!

Good to see this preformed in England . I have bought a set up on wish and hope to have a go in due course. Thanks

[@MindsofMinimalist]

Looks so calming just to watch you!

[@AnyoneForToast]

That looked like a wet one! It is a challenge when the streams flow that thick and fast. I do enjoy the "ultralight" fishing, finding nature's hidden marvels and all that. I should take up trout fishing, it gets around the closed season after all! Thank you sir.

Beautiful video. Such a nice area

Hi Peter, pleased to see you are still using the Tenkara method. I’ve had a few very good sessions this year with my ultralight Kurenai 9ft rod which weighs less than 1 ounce and is perfect for small brownies and will also subdue a decent stocked fish if played carefully.

[@peterfrost5475]

Hi Dave, that sound a great rod, I might look into that as you started me off in the first place. Tight lines. All the best Peter

[@carlosandreblatt]

Welcome back Mr. Frost. Let's see what this spring will hang at the end of your line.

[@peterfrost5475]

I hope that next I fish there will be something to show for my effort. Thanks for your comment.

Delightful film

[@peterfrost5475]

Many thanks

[@jasonrenshaw9010]

As a non trout fisher, that was very enjoyable and interesting. I like the idea of the tenkara, can i ask, do you still attach a length of fly line please? Tight lines.

[@peterfrost5475]

Thank you for your comment. The line is much lighter than normal fly line.

[@peteredwards1528]

Can you use ordinary fluorocarbon as level line on a tenkara rod?

[@peterfrost5475]

I only use the fluorocarbon as the caste or leader. The level line I use is thicker but not as thick as normal fly fishing line.

[@peteredwards1528]

​@@peterfrost5475from what I can see, although tenkara level line is rated differently from other line, it just looks like thicker rated fluorocarbon say between 0.27 mm - 0.31 mm, the only difference is that the line is brightly coloured and this is what seems to command the higher price. Some tenkara level lines are ridiculously high priced

[@awaken77]

you can use any line. dedicated tenkara level line in spools is essentially brightly colored fluorocarbon (for better visibility and tracking).

[@anthonystratton9705]

peter I liked the attitude you present.not just the fishing which I think is the greatest of sports. but all of nature around the flowers.and trees and birds. without this it would be a rather bland experience

[@peterfrost5475]

Many thank for your comment

[@toddnelsen637]

be nice to those little baby fish

[@peterfrost5475]

I will do my best. Thank you.

[@johnrumsey9676]

Cripes!!! Spends first 3/5 ths time chattering, not fishing...

[@russashton3420]

What's your gripe? Ignorant comment, it's the oldest & purest form of fishing(see Isaac Walton- The compleat angler)

[@peterfrost5475]

Tenkara is a lovely form of fishing, but I still like to play with a reel sometimes. Thank you for your comment.

[@toddnelsen637]

please people don’t fall for this nonsense by a proper rod and reel

[@peterfrost5475]

I still like to fish with a rod and reel but sometimes the lightness and simplicity of tenkara on a small stream is delightful. Thank you for your comment.

[@rodrev_hiking6757]

I Love tenkara fishing wayyyyyy more than traditional rod and reel and I have big success with tenkara so I don’t see your point of „nonsense“

[@toddnelsen637]

I guess my point is this. If you are targeting fish at 10” and under that are sitting right in front of you then great. If you want to catch big fish farther than 20’ buy a proper rod and reel.

[@toddnelsen637]

I would also say that I can do anything with my “traditional” rod that you can do with your tenkara, but there is no way you can angle the way I do with that twig

[@toddnelsen637]

Come to the Sierra Mountains in California where I live and I will show you how to fish. Leave the twig at home.
