“When I think about who might get into fly fishing, I think about the backpacking community. And this $140 entry point to catching high-alpine trout is an easy reach for folks looking to add more fun to their time in the woods. It comes with a rod, leader, tippet, a line winder, and a carry tube.”

About Tenkara fishing:
Tenkara rods can are excellent for the smallest brush riddled brook trout streams yet versatile enough to fish larger bodies of water like your local pond or lake. Fish feed consistently on or below the surface within 5 to 30 feet of you.
With a heritage reaching back hundreds of years, the Tenkara method of fishing originated through simplicity and a focus on catching fish with only the necessary components – rod, line, and fly. The telescopic nature of these fly rods and the omission of a reel allow the entire package to collapse into a small tube. There is no reel and the art of Tenkara fishing relies on the angler connecting to the fish while providing lifelike action to the fly. Once fished, Tenkara is found to be easier, simpler, more effective, affordable, and reduces the angler’s gear to what could be stored in a medicine bottle.
