Fishing

My realtor gave me a Tankara rod as a thank you yesterday. Looks like it will be fun,he has been bragging it up for years. Now I am excited to give it a try. I have been tying flys today and that, like, doubles the expectation!

So, which one? I am looking at the Daiwa. I make furled leaders in 10' to 12' James

10' Daiwa is all I can tell you about it,Japanese writing. looks fun and I am planning to try it tomarrow on a small creek. He tells me a lot of the time he fishes with only a couple feet of leader.

That is a popular rod and one of the more expensive. Lucky you. A couple feet leader? But off a line right? I make these longer leaders but you add tippet to them. The Furled Leader is essentially the line.

Jealous!

No a couple feet off of the tip of the rod. he says he changes leader length with every different creek. Short allows him to weave in brush.

So is your realtor flint? He has caught some crazy fish on his tenkara rod.

Yes it is. I used the rod today,I can see it being very useful on a lot of the creeks I fish and it will probably go on every backpack trip from here on out. But it won't replace my fly rods, a couple times I could have used a 25' cast. It was a cool experiance though. On the 3rd fish I lost fly and leader to coming off the connection. I really like how light it is and not dealing with a fly line and reel and managing the system through the brush was awsome,not once did I hook a branch behind me.
