Do you have a story to tell? A photo to share? A fly recipe that’s too good to keep secret? If you would like to contribute content to Tenkara Angler, click HERE for more details.

Always happy to have you lurking, Dave!

Hi Matt,
I won’t be in the area, but may watch online.
…Will your presentation be geared toward novice anglers? intermediates? advanced tenkara anglers?
Will you be covering both tightline nymphing with a tenkara rod and kebari fishing?
Thank you,
Charlie
Hi Charlie –
It will be an overview of the fundamental concepts and equipment and basic technique, intended as an introduction for those who may be unfamiliar or a recharge for those who want to refresh their understanding.
Hope you’ll join us!
I’ll give my critique now. I have seen some of Matt’s seminars on Tenkara and, like those, it will be worth everyone’s time.
