Listen to this conversation with Daniel and tenkara guide and running enthusiast Steve Conrad to learn more about TENKARA+ Running.

Some photos from the event, by Steve’s wife Kristin Conrad:
Yah… where’s the Stevie wonder fly?
Cainnon, getting that picture shortly couldn’t find it online…sorry. Coming very soon.
Cainnon, the fly is on the post now.
Daniel, s there a source to buy online? I’d like to try this fall in the Smokie Mountains.
To buy a tenkara rod? Of course, right here: Shop tenkara.
Oh sorry, the Steve’s Wonder Fly. 😀 I already have two tenkara rods (…maybe I could use more…)
apparently the Steve’s Wonder fly has been discontinued by the fly company that used to offer them.
