Traditional tenkara flies don’t have weight like our western flies that use lead wire, copper wire, or bead heads to help them sink. Instead, tenkara anglers make use of the hydrodynamics of the stream to help sink their flies. Here is a quick video of Daniel Galhardo from TenkaraUSA demonstrating how you can use the white water above a pool to help sink your tenkara fly. And, yes, I know it’s windy but at least Shotaro can’t complain that I didn’t include shots of the line on the stream, LOL!
Thanks for the video(s)! My next trip is coming up soon. New Tenkara and can’t wait to fish again. In our part of Texas the closest trout fishing this time of year is 6 hours away. In Dec, there will be stocked trout fishing 45 miles away. This year (due to the drought) the stocking will be large to small instead of the other way around. Starts Dec 2nd. Again, thank you!
