In Episode 14 of the Tenkara Angler Level Line Podcast, Amanda, Anthony, Mike, and Tom cover several topics in a grab bag of conversation.
Starting with current events, we discuss the new print issue of Tenkara Angler, the Appalachian Tenkara Anglers fly swap, and an upcoming Tenkara 101 course. The conversation then transitions into a deep dive of what techniques each angler uses to find and scout new-to-them waters. We also play the overrated / underrated game with two topics sent in by a friend.
To close, the back half of the podcast features an interview with Casey & Kevin Canfield of Rocky MTN Tenkara to learn a little bit about their backgrounds, their interest in tenkara, and the direction they’re taking the company. Check it out!
This video episode can also be found on the Tenkara Angler YouTube channel (we’d love it if you’d visit, like, and subscribe). The audio should soon be found pretty much anywhere you find podcasts, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Pocket Casts, Radio Public, TuneIn, etc… Just search “Tenkara Angler Level Line” and it’s sure to come up!

I just picked up the Chico and Rio from RM Tenkara. Looking forward to some authentic Utah fishing with them. – Skiddy
