Seems like a matter of application and personal preference to me. Traditional fly rods, tenkara rods, Spey rods all have their advantages/disadvantages, unique manipulation, etc. The common thread being they are (mainly) used to target trout/salmon with flies and were created to do so and to solve a specific problem. Spey rods were developed in the river Spey, which is large. Tenkara in the small mountain streams of Japan. The debate for superiority is very similar and equally stupid to bass fisherman arguing spin vs bait casting setups in my opinion. Different applications and personal preferences.

You said casting a fly. You're not casting a fly but lobbing them. In my experience in curiously trying out just the fly because of the front facing hackle, I found out that at least where I trout fish in the Ozark's, trout hammer them. in the lower currents where they like to feed. Now, I have over 700 flys...(experience). So, after that experience I bout about 50 different type of Tenkara flies. The Black Shinpuru this week I caught 5-trout 13-16" , 2 hours on that one fly alone using Tight Line Euro Nymphing with my 22' built leader ,10'.5" Moonshine Epiphany with Redington Tilt. That is a very well balanced combination using all 3-one once weights. But, since I have 19 fly rods...(experience), 3wt-8wt...(experience) and use all of them regularly bass, bluegill and trout, (I'm retired and that's pretty much all I do) I find that traditional fly fishing is real fly casting fishing and there is way more skill involved with the equipment and technique. Than Tenkara and Euro lobbing a fly fishing. I do a lot of French Euro Nymphing and found it to be tediously boring but though slightly MORE PRODUCTIVE because the drag a fly line creates, yet, the main emphasis is catching trout since what else does those 2 types of lobbing a fly can do. Sort of like hunting deer with a bow rather than a rife which I've done much of both too. There isn't anything special thinking that Euro Nymphing and Tenkra is big deal. It's a lazy mans type of fishing that you think your in the category of traditional FF. So, stop griping about what we think and calling us snobs. Then you're going to get a reaction. Just do what you do and keep you mind on that rather than what we are all supposedly thinking when most are not. Right!! Who is saying we can't get along???

Very refreshing to see folks not holding fish out of the water or over handling trout for the "Glory" shots. Like how many pics do people need of themselves and fish. Every time you handle fish mortality rates go way up. Leave them in the net and take the shots, pull the fly and say goodbye.

I do both as well , people that think that are mouth runners, pioneers of fly fishing river Cain and horse mane is pioneers I forgot the Indigenous invented the fly reel thousands of years ago 😂🎉 Great video nice fish and very good form

Awesome video mate

Wow that footage was amazing good job

This is what it's all about for me 🙌 backpack in to beautiful places and catch beautiful trout 😍 I've been fished a slot canyon like that. So cool! Thanks for sharing!

Another awesome video! Those browns are gorgeous.

Nice👍💗💗

i use streamers 50% of the time. it requires more technic then a fly because i present it as if its alive and moving through the water as apposed to a fly that the water dictates its path. you can also pop a streamer on the top of the water and get hits. most trout leave the water to slam it. my favorite thing is to get them to chase it full speed while jigging quick and watch them just inhale it! if your not fishing streamers you don't know what your missing.......literally.

What state?

Beautiful water…. Just bouncing along like a bunny!

Definitely a great part of the state. Those little streams tend to get overlooked by anglers, being just outside of the great trout fishing mecca.

Gorgeous canyon. Love seeing petroglyph aliens! Those browns are really bleached out. Cool sucker too. Cheers, Chris.

Incredible country, wow!! Too bad you had to force yourself to go back there. 😅

4:40 Bernoullis principle in action!

Quite a magical setting. Beautifully photographed. And I absolutely loved that sucker - what a neat bonus!

Beautiful canyon and beautiful video. Thank you!

Excelente ❤

Hey Chris, I can see why this location sparked your addiction to tenkara. I don't think I've ever seen a more stunningly beautiful location, and you captured it in your singularly outstanding manner. You continue to amaze with your cinematographic skill and creativity. You're lucky to have this place on your list. Thanks for sharing!

Nice video, beautiful scenery!!

Thus guy ever say at least what vicinity gets in ? N/S/E/W ? I know ppl Don’t reveal their secret spots but would be nice to know.

I would like to see the flies you tie on when you change during the video

Great stuff guys. I'm a big fan of the Big Horns. Thanks for keeping those spots a secret! And nice catches, especially the brown at the end.

Nice Chris! Sorry haven't commented recently, ive been watching you on my TV. So today I thought, man I need to support my Tenkara homie🙃 Stunning camera work as always and beautiful fish!✌️

nice fish! with all those willow thickets, looks like prime moose country

I totally agree regarding your statement, "I don't even know if flies matter that much. General shape and presentation is about all."

Yeah, what they said! 😀

First video. New sub. Clean audio. Cool cameras work. 🎉

That was one beautiful river - and some truly impressive brown trout. Well done, and thank you for sharing this!

Awesome video mate

Yes it can! I saw that you had to raise your arm and rod pretty high to keep the fish close to you - try shortening the line. I have had better luck when your casting line + tippett is no greater than 1 ft longer than your rod. This allows complete control and you can keep line tight and reach down with your other arm to release it, without having to elevate your casting arm so high. Many folks have line too long, then you have to hand-line the fish in. It’s amazing how big a fish you can land with Tenkara, I have landed 26” pike, and bass up to 4 lbs. It’s that power curve, some don’t understand, the long rod and distance of the bend make up for not being able to release more line out (like a reel does). Happy fishing!

Amazing, stunning location Chris! Looks like the perfect river for that Rocky. You know those beautiful browns are beasts when you have to pan down their lateral line to get them in the camera frame. Your cinematography continues to be second to none. Thanks for sharing the experience!

Beautiful fish and location. Thanks for sharing.

Fish on! 🎣 Beautiful spot!

Dont you eat the fish you catches?

Lovely spot. May I offer a bit of constructive criticism? You yourself got to go visit this river and experience the beauty and the SOUND of the river. However we did not have that experience because music was playing over this video. It could just be me but I think your video would be improved greatly if there was no music at all. Something for you to consider. Those were some beautiful fish.

Another excellent video! Love those beautiful cutty’s and that thunderstorm with hail was really cool! I love the smell and calmness after those storms.

Your title: “Why can’t Tenkara and fly fishermen get along?” suprises me. I’ve never had a negative encounter with this, nor seen a negative encounter among other fishers.

"If a fish doesn't want to catch my chubby then I don't wanna catch him" is great. I mostly fish alpine lakes and most days I live and die by the chubby.

Love the scenery & camping footage. How would you compare the Yari vs Fox fire for small streams?

Sometimes the ruggedness of place outshines the impressive fish.

What size and weight rod please?

A lovely river and beautiful trout - your formula is timeless. But your artist’s eye is what takes it all to the next level. Thanks, as always, for these wonderful outings you share!

Another excellent video Chris. Those vertical rocks on the far bank were absolutely stunning.Amazing habitat for those trout. Rainbows don't always get the respect they deserve but I think you'll agree they're among the best fighters among trout. That was quite the gnarly climb up to that rock overhang. I like your insect highlights! That was quite a bit of hail, I wonder how much it would take to measurably drop the temperature of the water. BTW, your cameras perform admirably in the wet. Beautiful country, you're lucky to be able to enjoy it. Thanks for the hard work and quality vid!

Wonderful and skilled camera work!

Beautiful video as usual! Well done

Looked like a great day. Beautiful canyon.
