My tenkara story (and why you should too)

[Mark Ries]

If you are right handed it looks like you just need to turn it around they usually come set up right handed where you cast with the right hand and reel with the left.

That's odd, I have been sort of intrigued by tenkara lately. The other day I took a backward glance at at a long lean tenkara but my matronly Orvis caught me and gave me the look.

You said "Tenkara the gateway drug?"

It's only a problem if you find yourself evaluating job prospects based solely on their proximity to trout fishing.

That's wrong. You need to consider the quality of the fishing as well.

The grass is always greener on the other side, try to remember what you fell in love with in the begining. Its impossible to control you thoughts but you can control your actions. Good job David Im sure your relationship will only get stronger. Kyle your a pig :^) P.S. Kyle you looking to sell the Tenkara or you gonna keep its hopes up and play both sides?

I'll be duplicitous as long as I can get away with it : ] I just gave Ms. Tenkara a new Ebira dress so she shouldn't know what I'm up to.

In all seriousness, I want something more useful for lakes. I've sat at the edge of a lake with tenkara casting as far out as I can, trading presentation for distance to try to get out to where the jumps are and still not reaching. Lakes typically have more wind than streams as well, and being on the wrong shore can ruin any chance of catching a fish. I just wanted the right tool for the job when my trip is based around fishing. For everything else, tenkara makes so much sense.
