    This is a great video and very informative. I just want to point out that the subtitles at 13:18 say "Cast, tilt, and wait 30 sec at the most", but actually Dr. Ishigaki says "3 sec". I'm sure it's a typo, but I just wanted to clarify in case anyone else was confused by that. Source: native Japanese speaker. Thanks for the great video!

    The Japanese are an amazing culture. They've seemed to have a great blend of artistic expression mixed in with day to day living. I'm talking about the old culture

      It is pervasive in modern daily life also once you leave the big cities. But even in the cities it is there but it sometimes gets hidden by the hustle and bustle , but it is there.

    I've watched over a dozen of Tenkara videos the past few days and it is very similar to Euro nymphing and dapping small streams. Yes equipment wise it is much different but in small stream fishing in NJ and PA, I use my 7ft rod with about 6ft of line and6 ft of tippet. Yes my rod is 3-6ft shorter than Tankarabut the techniques are similar...at least how I fish they are. What I do greatly admire is how the Tenkara fisherfolks can feel a bite of a 2-3" fish. There is a You Tuber called Tankara Addict and I am amazed at some of the small sized fish he catches and his level of excitement. It takes expert feel and finesse to hook and net a very small fish. Even though Tenkara isn't for me their skills and knowledge is top notch and very admirable.

    I was just introduced to Tenkara by a co-worker. I can't believe I've never heard of this before! I live in Idaho, so I fish quite a bit, but never heard of Tenkara. I can't wait to hit my secret spots with this new rod! I too am fascinated by the Japanese culture.

    Thank you so much for the quick response. The thought of fishing for trout in a couple of months has made this mandatory Monday meeting at work not as oppressive. People going to start asking me about the smile on my face. Thanks again.

    Hmm, I keep watching this and wondering if it would be more fun than the 3wt fishing I do with my little ones. I guess I’ll have to try it for myself. People keep asking about it around the shop, and it sounds cool. I figure worst case it helps me become a more well rounded angler.

    • @AvidMax

      Absolutely, Marco! Knowing how to fly fish with Tenkara is a great skill for any angler to have in their arsenal.

    very nice technique/method of fishing in the river. it register in my mind now that i can apply here in my place this kind of way of fishing... Since when I was young I always do fishing in our river using Bamboo with nylon and hook from the spring of a notebook. heheheheh.. Now I do fishing in saltwater with nice reel and rod but still I like fishing in the river. thanks for this informative way of fishing..... Its More Fun in Fishing.....

    seems like it's basically a casting method for a ole fashioned cane pole

      Having fished both I can say that a Tenkara rod is significantly more flexible, especially the tip. A Tenkara rod can cast a weightless fly.

    I have seen people fishing Templar’s style rods , but it seems to be a lot of casting without payoff . And when I see them finally get a hookup the fish either break off or are played too long . It was informative watching true professionals fishing this style of fly fishing. But I wonder what their reaction would be catching a 2-5 rainbow? Good video though

    I am planning a week or so in Japan in mid April. As a tourist from USA, what are the chances of me being able to fish for trout during this time? Licence and Regulations, will they prevent me or is there a way I can obtain these? Thank you so much for these videos.

    • @flairball
      @flairball 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The are fishing seasons, but no licensing in Japan. Generally, an area will be managed by an association that people join, but it is not compulsory. Also, try not to be too disappointed when you realize that most of the tenkara rods (furidashzou) you see terminate with a worm below a bobber.

    Why is Ishigaki-sensei carrying a second rod while he fishes? A little after minute 9.

    • @AvidMax

  • @MegaNafo

    very nice tutorial , thanks! , anybody know , what length of line and leader , total , I have to choose for 8' rod?

    • @AvidMax
      @AvidMax  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Usually when fishing Tenkara you do not want to go more than twice the length of your rod. With that said you may want to experiment for what works for you. Dry fly fishing a short line can be best for presentation and control.
      Longer lines may be needed when fishing nymphs/wet flies and on wider rivers. One of the main things to keep in mind is the ability of the rod to cast a longer line. Depending on your casting style you may find you want a stiffer (8:2) rod to help manage and cast the longer line successfully.
      Softer actions for some people can still be effective with a slower more patient casting stroke provided it has power to pick up and present the longer line. Leader and tippet vary based on fishing techniques and situations. Longer leaders may be needed on pressured waters. When fishing sub surface I usually fall to the 1.5-2 times the depth of the water rule of thumb. - Brady

      The ones used in this video are mostly local to Japan itself, but they have used Tenkara Rod Co fly rods before on fly fishing trips like the Sawtooth or the Teton.

    • @codunn866
      @codunn866 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have an antique bamboo fly rod with the eyes missing. Just the tip is left on. Instead of doing a cheap repair or costly one, I'm going to put that rod into a new life. Creek fishing in N. Carolina will be a new game. Fish on!

    Using an ultre light spinn pole. Like a cane pole. No major breakthrough.

    • @ariesmight4141
      @ariesmight4141 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      AvidMax. Your responce is not only purfect. About educating me as well as everybody who will read your resonce. On the history of the Japanese style of fishing. Called Tenkara but as well needs to be the opening for your video. Because none of the video producers talk about the history of Tenkara fishing. They only go streight into each piece of equipment. And or just how to use it. Leaving me with the impression that the Japanese intentually took the American style of spinn casting. And fly fishing over all. To create a modern style of fishing that they can claim is their own. Your responce not only proved me wrong. Now knowing how far back Tenkara fishing goes. Installed in me a strong fasionation of it. Excellent job.
      Thank you.

    Tenkara techniques are not really any different then fly fishing at all. Tenkara fishing is basically high sticking.

    • @JimBobTheDestroyer
      @JimBobTheDestroyer 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Seems like their casting style focuses a lot on wrist action. The way I was taught to fly fish was with absolutely no movement in the wrist at all.
