Re: Anyone try Tenkara?
Sorry I just assumed it was a kind of brand for fly fishing rods when I gave it a quick search online.
You can do anything in Tenkara that you do in normal fly fishing it seems. When I fly fish some ponds/creeks I sometimes wont even touch my reel for a while if the spot is right, basically going Tenkara.
Similar to nymphing I think, look up a video and you'll see they're basically doing the same thing with a normal fly outfit; flicking the fly upstream and letting it go down, guiding it with the rod tip. Not really touching the reel at all.
So I dont see how it'll be any different. You'll just be fly fishing but without the abilities that reels provide (drag, line storage, and feeding line out for casting)
