In the rivers flowing south from the Alps down the valleys of Northern Italy they use a method called Pesca Mosca Valesiana. Very similar and the Tenkara people and Japanese visitors and locals of Valsesia often get together to compare notes and styles.
If you go to the Fishing Films and Facts website and access the podcast library, there's an audio interview with Mike Roden looking at the whole history of Tenkara.
I just love the ancient history share here and thank-you; this has inspired me to learn more... Reminds me of when I went fishing as a child, and could never afford much of anything. My fishing poles were either a long slender willow of a piece of bamboo... and piece of line and hook... But my favorite was just a hand line with a hook, a nut and some bait... Cheers
moose racks: the earliest known report about fly fishing(in europe anyway) is about the time of christ in macedonia. it was sort of a "match the hatch" technique involving mayflies or something like that...
Pretty Cool!! I wonder if fly fishing is an evolution of this ancient Trenkara techique... You have me thinking now; I may do a little research on 'how far' back in hystory fly fishing goes back.... WOW!!!
You can do any method that can be done with a fly rod a reel? Then how does one strip a streamer?... I find this to be interesting but I’m still not convinced of its efficiency.
This isn’t new. Westerners were doing this 150 years ago with cane poles to catch trout in the creeks. I am glad to see the old ways circling back again though. It’s a relaxing way to take in the out doors........

These Tenkara videos inspired me to buy a Tenkara rod. I'm a fly fisherman but new to Tenkara. So much fun! Here is the very first fish I caught using a Tenkara rod: th-cam.com/video/guguKBcOlZ8/w-d-xo.html
Not really when you think these were invented in Japan for fishing small mountain streams for small trout.............along comes westerns and and adapt it for something else ........so your quite right.
A real Tenkara rod is made from bamboo, and does not telescope. Nor do you treat it like a fly rod with no real. Nor do you use all sorts of modern materials. I wish all of you would stop pretending that you're Tenkara fishing when you aren't even using Tenkara line, let alone a Tenkara rod. What you're doing is just fake Tenkara fishing, and fake fly fishing. This is, unfortunately, all too typical of the modern generation, whether the people of it live in America, Japan, or anywhere else. There are always those, usually a loudmouth minority, who simply lack the understanding of why a traditional form of fishing is still being used, or who are simply too lazy or too lacking in character to continue doing something the traditional way, often because it's too difficult for them to catch fish. So they change, modify, undate, and turn the traditional into the fake, plastic modern, and then pretend they're still doing the traditional. If you want to use modern materials, modern techniques, modern flies, and telescoping rods, then buy an actual fly fishing rod with a fly fishing reel. You won't look as idiotic as you do now, and you won't make such a laughing stock of yourselves, and of what should be a wonderful form of fishing.
James Ritchie If someone finds enjoyment in it, what’s the difference in how you define it? I Western fly fish and I fish with Tenkara (or the modern version of Tenkara) and enjoy them equally. It’s a change of pace not to be judged by anyone but but the individual. It’s not saving lives either way. Relax.
Miss you Mr R Great mentor and friend RIP Mike 😔
RIP Mike. I miss you every time I'm on a river. Thank you for teaching me how to cast a line. I like to think you're with me when I catch fish.
Hmm. Never thought of shortening the rod after "Fish on!".
Great video
Beautifully done on that trout ! I believe you hooked me at the same time. I'm going to be trying this. THANK YOU !
Thank you sir. Excellent instruction.

Just listened to it, thanks
Très bonne technique de pêche pour les petits cours d'eau .
Une pêche devant sois sans bas de ligne dehors.
Merci pour la démonstration

Beautiful.

Still one of the best videos for newbs.
GR8 video - that river water looks suspect? Looks like you are fishing downstream of a detergent factory:-)

Your right it’s not new. This is a old Japanese way of fishing.

You forgot to show the tenkara tactic most widely used in Japan; bobber and bait. Very few people in Japan use flies with a tenkara rod.
Allseasonsoutdoors Then its not Tenkara fishing
Richard Branson ?
Truth of the matter is that tenlara fishing works only in small fish.

声が則巻センベイに似てる
looks to much like arm ache to me
..a laughable and terrible way to fly fish, and boy....are you in trouble if you hook a sea trout or salmon with zero line capacity.

You are idiot, the technique is much the same
