I would have enjoyed hearing a bit more about why small mouth are his first love. I also would be interested in technique for landing larger and stronger fish with tenkara. I appreciated the info on line, and the persistence of a white wooly bugger as an effective fly.
For those streams that have more canopy to deal with - the 7:3 Maruki Sharpshooter by Wasatch Tenkara is awesome. Triple Zoom - 6', 7.5', & 9' - I've battled smallies up to 18" on this thing and have had no trouble at all - it's an awesome rod for those smaller creeks!
Smallies are fantastic on tenkara! Such a great fight and experience! Smallmouth are my favorite fish to target!
Great interview! 🙌
Thanks so much!
