Tenkara Angler Level Line Podcast Ep 7: Q&A and Guest Paul Vertrees

In Episode 7 of the Tenkara Angler Level Line Podcast Anthony & Jason give some topical updates and field reader submitted questions with some assistance from Mike, Matt and Tom. Interesting questions covered include clear tenkara lines, euronymphing, “go to” tenkara rods, getting kids started with tenkara, and the future plans for the podcast

Anthony also spends time with special guest Paul Vertrees of Royal Gorge Anglers for an extended “deep dive” on tenkara rod tactics for large tailwaters. It’s a very detailed but concise look at what considerations must be made when fishing a fixed line rod in such an environment. We can’t thank Paul enough for joining us.
