Today I sat down with long time tenkara angler and Tenkara USA supporter Graham Moran. Graham is an outdoor enthusiast who took on tenkara with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm, to the point where he now even guides with a tenkara rod. We chatted about…you guessed it, tenkara, as well as about Graham’s tenkara blogging, his experience guiding with tenkara, and learned some of his tips for tenkara fishing.

    This episode has several valuable tips on teaching tenkara to others. It was great to hear Graham’s story, from discovering tenkara in a magazine to later becoming a guide. I can’t wait to see the new line coming out this month.

    On another note, I’ve really learned quite a bit from the interviews with tenkara guides such as, Graham, Allie Rae Marriott and Steve Conrad.

    Graham, I thank you for your tribute to Doug. I carry it with me.
    God Bless,
    Ron Heggart
