Here it is an action. Can anyone guess the location?
I would not look at tenkara as the only or the best way to fish, but it’s highly mobile and in small streams probably gives you 90% of what the beginner can do with a much more expensive and complicated setup.
If you backpack hundreds of miles, every ounce counts. If you motorbike or drive, a tenkara rod is easy to take along and have ready to go if an opportunity presents itself.
