Tenkara Fly Fishing in Costa Rica

[@glenadams6615]

Spent 3 months living in San Gerardo and fished the savegre in town a couple times. Pretty awesome I did it with a tankara also! Loved watching you guys highlight one of my favorite places on earth! Thanks for the video

[@tenkararodco]

Amazing thanks for sharing!

[@barco581]

That is a very special spot. We stayed at the Savegre Lodge in March and I caught some Tico trout on small rooster tails.

[@alexstaneski6644]

Loved that Drew went through the fly selection thought process at the end! Dope video!

[@tenkararodco]

Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching! Stoked to put out next weeks video!

[@marydavis6004]

I’m a novice and I really like it when you explain, in the videos, how much line you are using and what types of flies.

[@tenkararodco]

Great feedback Mary thanks we will try to do more of that.

[@lindsayflake3938]

Loving the shots of the fish eating!

[@danielcarter5537]

That's incredible! Yall could have told me that you were fishing some obscure headwater creek back here in Western NC, and I would have believed you. Everything from the gin clear water, the boulders and the surrounding forest looks nearly identical. Even the their trout look the same as the wild rainbows we have here! It's amazing that you can find habitat like that in the middle of the tropics!

[@tenkararodco]

Thats a good point! Have fished some of those small creeks in NC and they are unreal.

[@GG-wp5do]

Costa Rica is filled with some really cool unexpected things...some pretty chilly places in the mountains...its got a little bit of everything

[@kellymason3873]

Like the look of the Fat Tire in action!

[@tigersteamer]

Beautiful fish, and great footage of them taking dry's. Great vid guys!!!

[@tenkararodco]

Thanks! Ya we couldn't help but sit and watch them come up and eat for an hour or so super fun.

[@zizosheriff8466]

There’s water in rivers up in the mountains that’s so cold you feel like you’re in an ice bath. It also moves very fast so makes it even colder.

[@tenkararodco]

Crazy you would never think that the water gets that cold!

[@Keatonrsmith]

Peekin that Yari 🤤 Can’t freaking wait!!!

[@jestonjump5647]

I enjoyed the after action fly report

[@tenkararodco]

Thanks we will try to more of those!

[@TavinMarlorVideos]

Good stuff!! Looks like a blast.

[@koberobinson7647]

Heard of tenkara while looking at fishing options for my upcoming Costa Rica trip. Low and behold y’all must’ve read my mind

[@tenkararodco]

Meant to be! Good luck its a fun place to fish.

[@chriswilcox7638]

That was a hell of a fall. Glad all went well though. You guys are living the life. Way to go my KZbin friends.

[@tenkararodco]

We thought he was going to break his leg and ruin his trip! Glad it wasn't serious but just goes to show you that fishing can be dangerous sometimes haha

[@chriswilcox7638]

@@tenkararodco oh yes it can be. Me and a buddy were fishing up on the St. Blank and we ran into a Doe. Long story short she chased us around trees trying to stomp our ass. We finally spooked her fawn and it went squealing off. Now mom's really pissed. I thought she was going to stomp the shit out of me. There was only a tree between us and she chased me in circle around the tree. Finally she took off after her baby. My Buddy thought his GoPro was on and it wasn't. It would have been classic to have watched that video. Stay safe my friends.

[@Muleeardave]

Another Awesome video thanks for sharing Beautiful place to fish 🐟

[@tenkararodco]

Thanks for watching! Definitely a unique trout fishery.

[@jayprfishing3035]

Wow amazing! Trout in Colombia! 😍 That place are beautiful! Enjoy the trip! 🤙

[@tenkararodco]

Thanks! 😃

[@adamwells2597]

Tuna with a new rod? 🤫 🍺 beautiful fish fellas, I’ll catch you guys on the next trip!! 😂

[@tenkararodco]

Rod looks fun huh!

[@ogive8]

@@tenkararodco Tell me more, tell me more!!

[@stevebergeron8763]

Tuna what part of Costa Rica? I reef fished with my Sierra two yrs ago when we were down there.

[@tannerflake163]

We were up in the mountains outside of San Jose. Later we fished for Machaca and then did some surfing in Jaco. I am in Nosara right now haha!

[@mak9x18]

Nice! Love to catch new species or varieties of fish! Got to fish my Teton this morning. Fun but I did get skunked!

[@tenkararodco]

Sorry to hear that but at least you got out. Cheers!

[@rodrigojaviersaavedralevic7224]

Hermoso pais....bella gente

[@tenkararodco]

Absolutamente!

[@michaeltownsend1206]

Beautiful place and fish. Teleportation needs to become a thing soon so I can spend some time there everyday. That Yari rod is on the top of my list, right under that is the magnetic line holder that looks like it holds flies too. Is that something you guys have in the works? I thought it was a cool to hear Drew’s thinking on fly selection too.

[@tenkararodco]

100% agree with you on teleporting good call! The lineholder is actually from sapandbark.com. Really cool handmade product. We hope to feature more products from other Tenkara makers in the near future!

[@Marchflyer]

Really good one! Btw, I love your waist pack 💪🏼 what’s that?

[@tenkararodco]

We did a collaboration with TOPO designs several years ago and still love the packs. Unfortunately you can't get them anymore.

[@treywilson8893]

Great video! But tell me about the Fat Tire rod. Is this a collaboration in the works.

[@tenkararodco]

Whoops! Ya its nothing crazy but we should have a few of these for sale later on this Summer. Seemed like a good combo.

[@ryannelson8918]

what was the blue rod that Tuna was using? looks amazing!

[@tenkararodco]

Just a small collaboration we did with Fat Tire. We might have a few of those to put on the site later this Summer!

[@carlosandreblatt]

Great vid!

[@kentemerson]

I never would have guessed there were trout in CR!

[@tenkararodco]

Fun catching fish in a place like that!

[@myotherlinefishing]

🤯. So rad! Had I known when I was there... 🤔

[@tenkararodco]

Guess its time to plan a new trip!

[@myotherlinefishing]

@@tenkararodco pretty much 😂

[@chrismerritt3467]

I see that Ikari!

[@tenkararodco]

Such a cool little system

[@ogive8]

Haven't even received the Yari yet and I am already eyeing that Fat Tire rod.

[@tenkararodco]

What fat tire rod...

[@dannysandoval8806]

Pura vida 🇨🇷

[@jonlobello7151]

With the long growing season I don't understand Tico rainbows are so stunted, unless the larger ones are cropped off by the native Costa Rican. I know that in southern Appalachia trout streams brookies used to grow huge before modern developement took place (1920s), because of the longer growing season.

[@tenkararodco]

From our understanding there are bigger ones in the 16-20 inch range but they are few and far between. But there were loads and loads of smaller ones. Definitely an interesting stream I wonder those same things!

[@blcberry123]

Well I have a new bucket list item...

[@tenkararodco]

Wait until next weeks video!

[@CarlosA19]

Espetacular 👏👏

[@johnyorchak5162]

So what was the water temp in that stream?

[@tenkararodco]

Air temp and water temp in this particular zone was a lot colder than you would think. Air temp got down to around 45 at night and up to 65 degrees in the day.

[@carlosandresporrasmatarrit4597]

How con I get one of those rods here in Costa Rica?

[@tenkararodco]

We do ship worldwide!

[@tannerflake163]

I need some more pocket pan right now!

[@tenkararodco]

Just head on down to the local pulperia and grab some!

[@CarlosA19]

Simplesmente, maravilhoso!

[@chriswilcox7638]

I want to go play. I can hold a sun shade, wipe noses, help cook... etc. Lmfao. Keep up the great Videos. 👍

[@tenkararodco]

haha yes please!

[@zacharyhardman7103]

Where can we get that magnetic line holder?

[@tenkararodco]

The link for it is in the description, it's really cool!
