I Finally Found the Perfect Fly for This River! (Tenkara Fly Fishing)

[@reaganwiles_art]

That river is intimidating. The flex! Muscular water.

[@jwcinc12]

Ouch, I have never seen you fall before. You are always so nimble. I enjoy both of your weekly videos

[@furrowflys]

Hey watch your video and you said they are surfacing out of the water and not taking flies..I’ve found usually that theirs something bigger below them trying to get them.. my opinion.. thanks for videos

[@michaelsmith7193]

That was some truly classic pocket water - and you read it and fished it very well, indeed! Thanks for sharing another great outing!

[@TenkaraAddict]

Thanks Michael! It's a great local stream, for sure.

[@sakanatsuri]

Nice fishing! "Tenkara"(てんから) is mainly for surface (dry) fishing for up to approx. 1foot deep water. If water is deeper, you can tie a yarn indicator and use beaded wet fly to fish like Euro nymphing. You may have to adjust length of the line (shorter). 4.5m long rod may be better for that.

[@Keatonrsmith]

Glad you were able to hook another Brownie. Those blue halos make it my favorite trout marking for sure. Now I’m pumped to hit up the Boise River this week!

[@TenkaraAddict]

They're great fish to fish for, for sure! Thanks Keaton.

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

Nice day on the creek, no doubt! Well done, Tristan! Excellent presentation!

[@TenkaraAddict]

Thanks Michael!

[@andrewmcdonald7077]

Got your Mizumi for Christmas, fished it on our farm pond a week ago. Absolutely love it. 3.5 lb bass no problem.

[@mc-eh4fw]

Awesome videos! Recently bought a tenkara rod because of your channel :) waiting for it to come through the mail! too bad I live in one of the worst countries for fishing!

[@JamesJReid]

black and gold for the win

[@wilbertolugo8700]

[@FishingCircle]

I wish I could say I have never fallen while wading 😂 nice video man. Cool to see Tenkara on bigger/faster water.

[@TenkaraAddict]

Thanks Todd!

[@dallaswood4117]

When I was about fifteen my parents dropped me and a friend off at the mouth of a canyon late November in Utah I only had hip waders and hit a pocket that filled them to the top wind was absolutely whipping down the canyon this was pre cell phone days and our parents weren’t scheduled to pick us up for another several hours, I’ve never been so cold

[@billhayes5581]

Jus wait till you get old and go down, that’s when real pain goes down.

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

And cold...hahahaa with ya Brother...

[@TenkaraAddict]

I don't doubt it!

[@tenkaranebraska927]

For sure! At 75 and not as stable as I was 50 years ago, taking a header is a whole new experience, but just as cold (-:

[@VictorF0326]

Gonna test my Mizuchi today for the big PA trout opener!

[@TenkaraAddict]

Nice! Good luck.

[@VictorF0326]

Success! Got a bunch of brown trout!

[@sidneyhughes762]

Sidney from the Maine woods. Bought my first tenkara rod. The cheap white one you featured awhile back. Do you ever eat any of your fish?

[@TenkaraAddict]

Nope, I don't

[@carloscaballerodetineo4062]

Excelente , felicitaciones 👍👍🐟

[@josepheiden4746]

Another great video. I really envy the scenery around you while your fishing. Beautiful. Tell me, are the flies you use all sub surface, like a nymph or a wet fly? Or are they dry flies?

[@TenkaraAddict]

They're all wet flies.

[@barddzen]

Hello, I really like fly fishing in the traditional sense but have tried to take some gear hiking and it’s a bit more work than I’d like to get started. The Kara seems to fit the need, is there a setup or starter set you’d recommend for this purpose?

[@tigersteamer]

Really good video.

[@TenkaraAddict]

Thanks!

[@grahvis]

I have often found, when there are a number of fish in one spot busily feeding, they can be very selective on what they will take.

[@johnyorchak5162]

Looks like the fish were taking the fly on the drift for the most part or were you giving it a little action that maybe we didn't see?

[@robertperman8967]

Nice stream

[@tenkaranebraska927]

Great Video. I love watching them, I'm converted, and using Tenkara now in Nebraska on warm water fishing. Just curious as to what editing software you use?

[@TenkaraAddict]

Adobe Premier Pro 👍

@@TenkaraAddict Thanks, I have been using Openshot and it seems to work pretty well. But just an amature!!

[@robertthomson3385]

Hi I'm from Scotland I mainly fly fish and the theory is that the smaller the river creek the smaller the fly

[@John-ve3gg]

Excellent!

[@rickcrane839]

TA, early in the video you are seen tapping the grip with your index finger. Is that the manipulation that you refer to? Putting motion onto the fly?

[@TenkaraAddict]

Yes. Tapping it, lifting the tip up and down, etc.

[@Happycamper1998]

Do you use a head or check mount when fishing w/GoPro? I enjoy your videos🙏

[@TenkaraAddict]

Head

[@deanhamilton1908]

How do you spell the name of the rod you used in the video???

[@willmaynard9016]

Great vid. Really nice rod. Tanuki seem to do great quality rods. Have you ever used the black angel rod? If so is it a good rod?

[@TenkaraAddict]

No idea what the black angel rod is. I just Googled it and didn't come up with anything.

[@willmaynard9016]

@@TenkaraAddict sorry it's the black wing angel.

Thanks for showing that I’m not the only one who busts my ass.

[@venkatkrisshna]

Did you fish this creek on or ~2 days around a full moon day?

[@TenkaraAddict]

No idea. Sorry.

[@venkatkrisshna]

@@TenkaraAddict cool! Fish generally don't tend to bite on/after full moon days because they feed at night. I was just curious :)

[@stephencarroll8537]

You ain't fishing if you don't get wet..nice video 👍

[@TenkaraAddict]

Lol thanks!

[@andrewbacon3583]

Not sure how I feel about needing to carry bear spray to go trout fishing...

[@TenkaraAddict]

If you're not carrying bear spray from time to time, you're not fishing wild enough places 😁

[@davidhall8874]

I think that river is more for white water kayaking than for fishing. By the way, I don't know if you are a millionaire or not, but how in the hell can you afford all those rods? I can't afford one and so am limited to string and tree branch!

[@TenkaraAddict]

I get enough money from making these videos to help buy the rods 👍

[@CarlosA19]

🤣🤣🤣 fish on
