Mr. Yuzo Sebata is one of the most well-known tenkara anglers in Japan. He keeps his fly-fishing simple and enjoys backpacking in the mountains of Japan catching trout and foraging for mushrooms. When we went backpacking together, he brought along a very simple fly-tying kit, which he pulled out at our camp by the stream and proceeded to tie a fly. Watch to see how he ties flies without a vise and with very simple materials.
Thank you Daniel. I found the video very informative. Keep up the good work.
Excellent. Thanks for the feedback!
子供の頃、日本の岩手の山奥で普通にやっていたテンカラ釣り。まあ、テンカラ釣りもどきかもしれませんが。アメリカに来てからは西洋のフライフィッシングだけでしたが、こちらでもテンカラ釣りを再開しようと思います！
I forgot to add English translation: I used to fish with Tenkara method back in Japan when I was growing up. Well, maybe the way I fished was more like semi-authentic Tenkara, however. Ever since I came to the USA, my fishing method shifted to the Western flyfishing but now I’m planning to start back Tenkara in the USA!
I am one of the few women that fishes the tenkara way especially in Idaho where we have many great places to fish. I have been using the videos since there really is no one to teach tenkara here. They have really helped me understand and appreciate this special way to fish. I thank you for your insight and I will keep practicing to get the big one!
That’s awesome you’re out fishing there, and learning through the videos. Really appreciate knowing that. Hope they are helpful and that your big one comes soon!
I especially appreciate the various methods of casting and presentation, noting that the same water can be fished with alternate techniques and results!
