In Episode 16 of the Tenkara Angler Level Line Podcast I talked with Jonathan Antunez about his style of active wet fly fishing that is inspired in part by H.C. Cutcliffe and other anglers of bygone eras but which is being given new life by utilizing modern state-of-the-art fixed line tenkara rods.
After having some very exciting and successful outings fishing in this manner this spring, I wanted to touch base with Jonathan again to follow up on and further our discussion of this topic. So please check out our latest discussion in Episode 19 of the Tenkara Angler Level Line Podcast.
