I recently wrote about some of the flies I got from the Tenkara Summit. Two of them were very special to me since they were from Dr. Ishigaki. I was tempted to fish with them but decided to have them framed instead. I figured I’d get more joy by hanging them on my gear room wall than catching an 8″ brook trout with them. That way, I can look at them from time to time and remember how great it was to meet Dr. Ishigaki and the other Japanese anglers at the Summit. Now, I just have to decide where to hang it.

http://tenkaratalk.comJason is an avid fly angler and backpacker. As a former fly fishing guide originally from Western New York, he moved to Colorado and became an early adopter of tenkara which perfectly suited the small, high altitude streams and lakes there. He has not fished a Western-style fly rod for trout since.
A nice memento to have Jason and fond memories I’m sure.
…I’ve always liked those shadow box displays… Enjoy the memories…
Very nice display, Jason. I, too, would have a hard time deciding whether or not to fish with them!
