Please tell us more about fishing for spawning browns.
not nearly the expert as you are at catching spawning bows, wouldn't want to bore you.
I'm all ears, pal.
And if you're going to take a shot at me at least back it up with some damning evidence because I'm not sure what you're on about.
This thread is going great.
More evidence that Tenkara sucks ass.
Do you catch bows in March, April and May? Do catch browns in October and November? You're catching spawning fish so STFU and stop being such a condescending cunt. You act like you're gods gift to the fly fishing world.Quote:

The lulz are strong in this one.
Underoos is not some careless ethiopian... He supports fishy fucking and even provides them a quiet place to procreate.

What has theturdburglar done for fishy fucken?
After going through a phase where I thought I might add a Tenkara rod to my collection, my fishing pard of several decades suggested I just tie a line onto on of my many rods and with the money saved by him lots of beer. He is a wise man.
Hey tenkara people. I almost got a setup for my Colorado trail thru hike but didn't and wish I had because holy crap there were some good spot along the way.
So I want to just get a set up so I am ready.
Are the Amazon offerings any good? I want to keep it under 200 all in and suitable for backpacking (light), quick stops to wet the hook in a brook and see what I get.
My kid brought a pack rod spinning reel setup on a 2 week trip this summer and caught do many trout I couldn't believe it. He is 12.
Tenkara rod co is having a labor day sale so that's the other option. Is it better gear or just better marketing?

I sell them, and I don’t have one.
I don’t know who these “tenkara people” are that you are addressing.

Tenkara reminds me of rhythmic gymnastics with ribbons
It's a ten foot carbon tampon.
Tenkara seems perfect for backpacking.
Thanks for all the help.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...03dbbcbde4.jpg

I fished my buddy’s tenkara almost a decade ago, and it was fun for what it was. Perfect for nymphing along small water with little to no setup time.
He never had any issues with it from what I could see, but I haven’t kept up on other options over time
Actually I think a tiny tenkara might be cool to stuff in my jersey pocket for a mountain bike ride to a creek. Otherwise I have lots of other rods to do the same thing only better.
I store my tenkara pole next to my snowlerblades.
I go trail running with.....
.....A fly rod.
It's not like a fly rod+reel is heavy. And if I'm going to be near clean water I can carry a Lifestraw or pump instead of a bunch of water. An 8'6" 4 piece rod in a sock tucked into a running vest barely reaches over my head. I don't care if other people are into tenkara, but it sure is limiting.
What I use now is this tiny little reel that was handmade for me by Dennison Ultralight in Oregon and he made these tiny little fly rods too, (but I broke those climbing over rocks). Anyway I replaced those w/ Eagle Claw 5 foot 2pc rod for 37 bucks. I cut a flyline in half so it fits on the reel, and it works perfect for the Tenkara target application, plus I can cast, and a fish can take line.

and do the same thing.
I’ve been thinking of doing this lately. Lotta lakes and potential. Been meaning to put together a small, alpine lake box etc with bare essentialsQuote:

The beauty of the tenkara setup isn't in how light it is, it's in how quickly you can deploy it. it takes me ~15 seconds to go from fully stored to fishing-ready, which means that I could quickly stop for a 5 minute break at any number of small streams. When fishing small, pockety water, the tenkara was perfect, and a lot of fun.
Then, the full rod was perfect for when I was at camp and wanted to actually fish for a few hours. In those contexts I found the tenkara to be frustrating and limited in capacity, which is no surprise.
We managed to pull 2 or 3 brookies out of this hole on the way up Jackass pass. Really fun - and if all I had was a full rod, I never would have stopped.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...845ca7fb84.jpg
