Tenkara
is about fly-fishing simplicity and mountain-stream effectiveness.
Eleven to fourteen foot long rods allow anglers to fish mountain
streams in a way that is nearly impossible with western fly
gear. Telescopic rods collapse down to a mere 20 inches, and
few things are needed making tenkara ideal for backpacking.
There
is a fly-casting technique involved, but it's much quicker to
learn. The casting is usually a bit slower, and the casting
stroke shorter.
Tenkara
is very easy for anyone to do. And, at the same time one may
strive for perfection and make it a life-long learning experience
focused on technique and actual fishing, not on the gear.
