feeling though to approach a trout stream with simple light tackle while carrying a great expectation of success that feeling is something that we ve had the blind good luck to be gifted by the incredible generosity of the japanese tenkara community in order to help pass on our own good fortune to tenkara addicts around the world and to help us fund the air fares accommodation and filming equipment we began to sell some of the video content that we brought back each year following a quite spectacular fall out with our original cameraman we lost the rights to market our first three dvd

tenkara guiding fly fishing guiding our philosophy the we that i mean when i say our is me and my fellow fishing addict jp john pearson you can get to know us better in the about us page on our site what i like about john pearson s guiding is he doesn t just point to a patch of water and say fish there and wander off as many guides do he will watch and offer to guide you to fishing better than you have before john is seen as a master tenkara fisherman by a great many of his peers it has been a huge stroke of luck to have john close enough and willing enough to spend time improving my understanding and techniques in the art of tenkara fishing neil mcghee client more information on guided experiences is available direct from john by clicking here to send an enquiry in terms of our overall philosophy one thing is important for you to know so you can judge whether it s worth checking out the rest of our site is our official motto always go to the source no matter if it is a mission for our other site fishing discoveries to learn czech nymphing with members and coaches of the world team in the czech republic or travelling to japan for six annual and counting trips to meet and study with the widest range of elite tenkara anglers of any non japanese guides that s where we will go to bring you your info and stories tenkara lines there s a ton of confusion over what are the right or best lines to use for tenkara and to be perfectly honest most folks seem to settle on options that make life harder for themselves before we d ever want to sell you any kind of line we want you to be armed with the best most straightforward and completely honest advice on line choice you can t find a more informed or objective english language breakdown of tenkara lines than ours because quite simply nobody else has carried out the same research that we have the way we see it we don t do ourselves any favours if we steer you wrong and you have a worse experience than you should on stream so we re actually being selfish by ensuring you can make informed intelligent choices on tenkara lines tenkara flies many folks are astonished to discover that japanese tenkara flies or kebari do not usually have reversed hackles that doesn t mean that reverse hackle flies or sakasa kebari arenot a useful and important part of tenkara just that they are veryspecialised and quite niche in their use in japanese tenkara of course because reverse hackles look so distinctive they are a branding dream which probably explains why they are such a dominant image associated with tenkara but the really interesting stuff in our opinion is the way that it s possible to marry particular presentation tactics with the different basic dressing styles materials that you find in japanese tenkara fly patterns then you can really get to grips with the advantages and fun of fishing tenkara as it ispracticed by top anglers in japan tenkara biohacking fly fishing perhaps our most unique perspective which brings many unexpected benefits is our freshwater biology background we ve found that it comes in so useful when tryinge to understand and explain why the tactics we discover actually work it s been incredibly fun and amazingly effective to combine a life long fishing addiction we ve both fished for more than 35 years for anything with fins and gills with knowledge gained from a professional career in biological research and practical application dr paul and a degree in field biology john now we can pass that insider knowledge to you too and since we are always discovering new things we know exactly how you feel when you go from confusion to aha we never forget what it is like to learn something for the first time because we are always in that same state

page tenkara rods in the beginning we stayed away from producing tenkara rods we thought it would be best to do aproper apprenticeship in japan before we offer up any game changing designs after working as consultants for western brands producing tenkara rods in china we realised the quality control and manufacturing practices of tenkara rods still has some way to go before catching up with japan after several years of building relationships in japan we were able to produce a limited run of a japanese made rod with input from some of japan s tenkara elite the result karasu made in japan hailed by many of our japanese friends as some of the best tenkara rods ever made what is tenkara we d wager there s nowhere on the web where you ll find a more comprehensive first look overview of
