Hi Tristan, some 30 years ago as a child my father taught me how to fish with long bare rod and a fly but moving downstream only. Now I got proper tenkara gears and catch mostly browns here in Bulgaria. By watching your videos I have learnt a lot about the technique you do and became a very inspired angler.
Greetings from Bulgaria
I’m from Manila, Philippines! Always looking forward every Saturday for a new vid out! Gotta say am really envious with all the Trout fishing there, I think I’m the only Tenkara guy in my country (that I know of) 😅
Watching from the Kalahari desert South Africa. Love your channel - we fly fish and tenkara mostly to big yellow fish in the Vaal and Orange river systems. Don't worry, if been sucking at it for about 35 years now and still enjoy every moment of it.
Lol thanks for watching! I had to look up yellowfish. Looks like they'd be fun to catch!
One of your tenkara disciples here in the Iowa Driftless. Two years ago I hardly ever fished; since then (mostly due to your inspiration) I get out once or twice a week. Mostly wild browns here with the occasional stocker/hold-over rainbow. The Iowa Driftless also has the westernmost creek in the continental U.S. with native, wild brook trout. Thanks for sharing!
Gary, believe it or not, I literally fished that creek yesterday lol!
@@TenkaraAddict I know you cherish your solitude but part of me wishes I could have met you while you were in this neck of the woods. Hope your visit was fun and productive!
I'm practically your neighbor. Layton, Utah. I am old and disabled and I fish the small Mountain and Desert Streams for Cutthroat Trouts.. Mostly Fly Fishing or Dapping but I got a new Tenkara Rod to try out this year. Working on my Fifth Cutthroat Slam.. It does get me out of the house. I have fished Southern Idaho and Wyoming and Nevada in the past so many of the places you fish are quite familiar to me.
Love your comment "I suck at fishing". We have all said this at one time or another. Loved the super clear water and watching that Brown Trout grab your fly. I love fishing for all types of fish especially Rainbows. Hello from Alabama. Another great video Tristan!!
Fellow Alabamian here....where do you fish locally?
@@laggismaximus I live in North Alabama near Huntsville. I like fishing in the Sipsey below Smith Dam. We don't have many places to catch trout in AL but there are some ponds that stock trout in the winter. I also fish whenever i go out of town on travel and caught lots of trout in Utah.
That stream was indeed a gem! I’m in Virginia - my fishing is approximately 20% for native brook trout in small mountain streams, and 80% for sunfish in a couple local public ponds. Those percentages are the reverse of my outings long ago. But the aging process makes the mountain treks a bit less ambitious these days - but valued more. Nearly all my outings now are tenkara; only rarely does a conventional fly rod tag along. I greatly look forward to your new episodes each week!
I use to live in Lee country Va. Not far from Cumberland Gap, which had some pretty good trout fishing.
I live in Roanoke and fish about 100% in small mountain streams because I don’t know any ponds near me
@@blueridgeflyguy9551 The rivers in Lee county were nicely stocked. But your lucky, I’d rather fish Mountain steams than ponds any day.
I'm in the northern Shenandoah Valley and just getting into Tenkara, but am having difficulty finding access to the local mountain streams. A lot of no trespassing/no fishing signs.
@@ppinckney Yes, it is difficult unless you live close to a state park or public lands. Or know someone that will allow you to fish on their land.
hi! I’m Demetria, newbie fly fisherwoman from Lakewood, Colorado; we fish in the mountains between Vail and Leadville, in the Eagle River, or Mitchell Creek…I caught my first 12 inch brown with my tenkara suzume a few months ago! Super exciting! I squealed and nearly fed myself to the beavers! Thanks for your videos! I’m trying to retain myself to use my net instead of heaving my fish onto the bank…work in progress!
I'm from Poland.
I fish, or at least try to catch, pike, perch, Zander. There is also a lot of carp family fishes in here. But the major target for me is chub. I try to catch them on fly rod, using foam bug imitation. Fly fishing is something very new. It's to far for trout fishing. So if you don't have what you like, you have to like what you have😉
I've found your channel, when I was doing some research on UA-cam. It's great. The best thing I can see every time, that there's nobody around, just you, and the nature. In my local rivers, sometimes there's more fishermans, than fishes in the water.
I watch your video first thing most Saturdays while I have my coffee. Calgary, Alberta Canada.
Southwest ID (Nampa). So far I have tried to fish all the local ponds, lakes and lately trying to hit the rivers like the Boise river and Payette river. I had a bad injury to my right arm a year ago so my Tenkara days have been postponed for a bit. I have been tagging creaks in the meantime on Google maps for when I can start exploring.
I started getting back into fishing right when covid started. I started with bass and crappie. I started on trout last spring. Tried my luck with fly fishing and failed miserably but haven't given up. You keep me inspired along with the tuber "Bass'N'Trout" who is mainly a spinning reel genius with trout. Finding the spots and learning the lures is where I am now. Hoping to become proficient in Tenkara someday soon though. Like you, I prefer places less traveled or fished.
Thank you for the time you spend sharing and editing.
Try left handed?
@@brian1204 I have been. I have cheap fly rod that I had started to practice with before the injury. Haha, I thought I was terrible casting it right handed. Left is a whole other challenge. I will get there though. My goal is next Spring.
Having bursitis in my right shoulder at 71 years of age, I quickly taught myself to cast left handed - it's easier than you might think. NOTHING is stopping me from getting out and fishing.
@@chriskight7080 Sorry to hear about the bursitis. I've been out bass and crappie fishing casting lefty just fine with the spinning reel. I've only postponed the fly fishing. I've attempted going for trout and have caught 1 river trout (rainbow) with a worm. Haven't had luck yet using Panther Martin's or marabous but I have been trying. Even with my father in law 50 feet away catching fatties. I'm still a novice with trout. But trust me, I'm still getting out there even with no bites. The scenery and alone time is worth it on its own.
Hey man, I live in West Texas. Nothing around here but panfish to catch on my flies, (still a ton of fun) but I try to get away to colder water as much as I can. I hit northern New Mexico quite a bit. I'm very new to fishing. A little over a year ago I had a friend introduce me to Tenkara. We had two days of bad fishing the Rio Grande and other smaller streams in NM where I caught my first fish. (Brown Trout.) It was such a blast that I've gone way deep into this hobby! Your videos have been a great way for me to learn a few tricks of the trade. I've begun tying my own flies, and have had a ton of success with the patterns you've shown using some of your yarn! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks again for the great day of Nature AND FREEDOM AND fun of trout fishing. I live in upstate New York. Plenty of small Brook trout streams i love to fish. And Bigger streams with Brook trout Rainbow trout and Brown trout. Keep on trouting those great video's. Thanks 🎣
Seattle, WA! Your videos got me interested in Tenkara and now we're a family of Tenkara addicts!
Hey Tristan, my name is Jayce. I live in northern Utah but I am originally from south east Idaho. I originally got into Tenkara because a friend of mine showed me his dads Tenkara gear and took me out fishing with it once. It sucked miserably though and we caught nothing. Somehow I happened upon your channel and saw how fun Tenkara is supposed to be. I ended up getting a rod and have absolutely loved it since. I will say the beginning of the video was actually somewhat encouraging for me as I feel like I’m the only Tenkara angler that has times when it seems like I can’t avoid getting snagged. Thanks for the amazing content!
Hello. Vit here from Czech Republic. Been flyfishing since childhood, started with tenkara a year ago just for a few creeks and now I take it everywhere...nice video mate!
From Kansas, fish all over, multiple techniques, cold and warm water. Love tenkara fishing small remote creeks , recovering from surgery ,Dreaming about the spring
North-Western NC here. Enjoy your videos every Saturday. Thanks for the effort you put in!
Northern Sweden. Mostly fish for Brown trout and brook trout (brook trout is invasive here) in small creeks and brown trout and char in small lakes in the mountains.
Love both your channels and I'm in Colorado.
Hi Tristan! I enjoy watching every one of your videos as you get them posted. I live in Roseville, CA - just about an hour and 30 minutes from Lake Tahoe so I have all the rivers and streams in the Tahoe Sierra to choose from. There are many that are just perfect for Tenkara. I live at about 250 feet of elevation but I can be up at 6000 or 7000 feet in about an hour and 15 minutes of driving. I fish Tenkara about 30 times a year but do some traditional fly fishing as well. My first rod was the Luong Tam Tanuki Ninja rod and I still use it. All 'round great rod. I just caught a 36" Lahontan Cutthroat BEAST in Pyramid lake on an 8 weight rod, throwing large articulated streamers. Landing it was an epic battle. Released it of course. The following week I was catching beautiful 8 to 10 inch brook trout on the West Carson River at high elevations. So many adventures, so little time. I'm on the Board of Directors of a large fly fishing club (350 members) in Granite Bay and we have a group of members that mostly fish Tenkara - there are about 25 of us. We've had Luong Tam (Tanuki Tenkara) as a speaker at our monthly meeting a couple of times. Funny guy!
Hampshire, United Kingdom. Been fly fishing for Brown and Rainbow trout for nearly 45 years now and recently been fishing Tenkara style. Love your videos, keep it up. Regards, Simon.
Logan Utah, i had hoped to meet you when you were in Preston? I buy all my yarn, from you, and especially for tying tenkara flys. I fish for all trout here in utah, idaho, wyoming. doing the Utah and Wyo cutthroat slam. Fly fish tenkara, fly fish and spinner fish rivers, flat water for trout and some bass. Fish flaming gorge, Jackson Hole area, Alaska and anywhere. I love your channel and look forward to every saturday, and all Your SUV Rving videos, especially Utah Idaho wyoming Montana and Colorado. Love Mesa Verde. Thank very much
Grew up in Bavaria, Germany, and now live in Plano, Texas. Love and watch both of your channels.
I am flat on my back in the hospital recovering from my fifth back surgery. Hoping that I can get out in a couple weeks and teach my granddaughter Tenkara fishing with the rod I just bought her for her birthday May 31. Have enjoyed all your technical information and your fishing ethics. Keep up the good work
I’ve started watching because I never heard of a tenkara rod. I’m an American living in Canada. Started fly fishing when I lived in Washington State. Your area is the same environment as the area of Washington I lived in. Fishing this small creeks looks fun. Thanks for sharing your adventures
Grew up in the Eastern Sierras and now live in Colorado. Love your channel and the type of water you fish...reminds me of how I fished back in the 70s/80s.
I'm watching from Japan.
But,I have not experience about Tenkara .I fish trout with lure.
Love your video !
I’m in Central AZ in the furnace desperately wishing I was in that creek. Such a healthy and vibrant place. Those were some happy fish.
Hey Tristan,I am watching from Spokane Valley Wa. I have really enjoyed watching your videos. I fish for Kokkanee, rainbow trout and walleye mainly. Oh also surf perch on the Washington coast. Watching you has encouraged me to get into Tenkara. I bought my 1st Tenkara rod last week, a Dragontail Mizuchi. Very excited to fish with it and already have my eye on 3 creeks to test it on. Thank you for your entertaining and informative videos. Take care and fish on.🐟
The farmland of Illinois, no trout here but I do make it to the Missouri Ozarks a few times a year for trout fishing. I’ll have a Tenkara rod with me next trip.
Thanks.
Michael from Eugene, Oregon. I mostly fish for rainbows and cutthroats in the Cascades. I only started tenkara fishing about a year ago and really appreciate your videos. I always learn from them and really enjoy them when I need a break from work.
I am in Deep South Texas and live vicariously through your video’s. We have no streams at all to fish in with out driving many miles.
I'm from oklahoma. I fish for anything that bites. I catch a lot of gills, crappie, and bass. We have a couple of stocked rivers around here, I try to make it too on occasion. They are stocked with Bows and Brownies. I have yet to catch a brown out of anywhere. I recently started Tenkara and love it. I'm going to get out after some tenkara style trouting soon. Love the content keep it coming. Thank you lots and tight lines.
Watching this lovely video from Fort Wayne Indiana. Born and raised in Northern Michigan, fly fisher since birth. Great videos friend.
Hello from Middle Tennessee! The state parks in TN have some great fishing!
Good'eh tristen, im Joe from ottawa ontario. Here we have some big water rivers and the great lakes that give us great oportunity for warmwarter species this far north, largemouth, smallmouth, bluegill, yellow perch, crappie, gar, channel cattfish, northern pike, walleye, musky, carp etc. However we have excellent fishing opporunity for native brook trout. Usually when fly fishing we target these these brookies im small streams or lakes, however when flyfishing we also target smallmouth, northern pike, carp, panfish and most recently rainbows. After many years in ontarios back country we finally found a trout creek with wild rainbows and native brook trout and caught a dozen between myself and my two brothers yesturday. Your videos are making us seriously consider buying a tenkara rod as this creek seems an ideal place to use it.
Tight lines from three brothers in the great white north brotha!
I like your enthusiasm. Although with catching like that it's easy to see why. Watching you fish those Idaho creeks brings back memories of fishing in Montana. Always passing through Idaho to get home to Springville Utah where the Provo River is not far and world class. Stopped at a tributary of the Snake and marveled at the giant trout in such a small stream. Alas, fishing that creek was closed for one more week. Always wanted to return during open season but moved to Florida beforehand. Fishing for Snook, Redfish, Snapper and Grouper now.
So glad I found your videos. I have to say I'm pretty jealous of these small streams you fish lol. Just ordered my Dragontail Mizuchi and can't wait to try it out. I'm in south central Pennsylvania and mostly fish for trout. Always used a spinning rod and worms. Caught a 10" brown, 2 10"rainbow, and a 13" rainbow yesterday. Been wanting to try fly fishing but I think tenkara is going to be more fun.
Hi Tristan, Ken from, Ballina, I'm located in the north east corner in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
I predominantly fish for freshwater Bass, all catch & release & in tiny creeks, creeks which I've fished since I was a young teenager, Im now quickly approaching 65.
I enjoy your fishing adventures very much, stay well & travel safe.
Tight lines.
Regards,
Ken Johnston
Tristan- Dave here, from Menasha, WI. For my Trout excursions I travel to the Waupaca area, which is about an hour from my home. Mostly Brook and Brown Trout there. Great little find there. Sometimes a change in plan can be the best decision of the day.
I'm from Grand Junction, Usually I go to the Grand Mesa for fishing. Sometimes to Vega Reservoir on the eastern part of Grand Mesa I have fished Flaming George, Red Fleet Dam, and Stienaker Reservoir outside of Vernal in Eastern Utah. I have fished Lake Avery and Meadow Lake North of Meeker Colorado. I have also wanted to fish the Yampa River north outside of Craig Colorado for Northern Pike. A lot of places to fish here in Western Colorado and Eastern Utah. I also used to do a lot of summer deep sea fishing with my uncle on the Oregon Coast. My PB was on the Pacific Ocean off the Chetco River in Southern Oregon. 38lb Chinook Salmon. What a lot of fun that was. Thanks for the video.
hey Tristan, I live in the Front Range of Colorado and love combining camping BLM and Tenkara in the state. I was a big fan of the Elk River near Clark, CO before the wildfires 2 years ago. much more scenic in the Pagosa Springs area near Piedra on the Piedra River. There are just tons of no-name streams in the foothills and deeper in the mountains. Throw a fly into most irrigation ditches and find happy fish everywhere
Millinocket, Maine. Just starting out with fishing and love the inspiration that you provide. I landed a smallmouth this week with a tenkara (but still looking to land my first brookie)!
Ha! I'm just an hour south of you! I've caught some great brookies north of the park, but generally fishing the Penobscot for bass.
Maine here! I've been watching your other channel for quite a while and finally made it here. Great work!
From near Sacramento, CA. Just recently got interested in tenkara, from watching you on SUV RVing. Received my tenkara rod yesterday & me & hubby going camping & fishing this upcoming week north of Lake Shasta. Love both your channels.
San Diego way. I fish lakes, San Diego river and the ocean. Tons of opportunities here. Thank for taking us along…
Living in Bend, in central Oregon. Exclusive Tenkara. I catch Redside / Rainbow, Brook, a few Brown, and an occasional Bull Trout. From little natives in creeks to large trout in bigger rivers. Love it!
This was an awesome session. Thanks for taking us along. Watching from the UK where it's hard to do this type of fishing in my local area.
Aurora Colorado. Fly fishing for 50 years. Ty’s my own flies. Love your videos.
I'm here in Idaho and have fished the stream you are on many times. It is a brushy bugger! Love the small streams.
Fun video. Im glad left in all the snags and missed hook sets. Show the true nature of fishing tight spring creeks.
Hi Tristan I am from Merseyside in England been following you , I use to fish rivers and streams round Wales for Grayling and Brown Trout, also fished in Scotland for Salmon and in Cornwall for salmon and Sea Trout, I only fish still waters now as I am not so secure on my pins had a bad fall last year so decided to stop fishing rivers age caught up with me. Keep up the videos gives me great pleasure watching them, I also watch Your Suv channel, tight lines
Regards Ian R
From Charlotte NC. Really enjoyed watching that video. To walk on to a creek like that is a dream of mine.
Great video! I love watching you and getting new ideas/techniques for Tenkara fishing. I am in Southwest WY and got into Tenkara watching your videos. It is so much to go up to the mountain streams and catch beautiful trout. It's all I have been doing for the last couple months. Thanks!!
Northwest Pennsylvania. Was always frustrated by the lack of lakes around me until I start chasing trout and then a whole new world opened up to me.
Hello from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! Just getting back into tenkara after a 25 year hiatus.
Eastern Washington, small streams in Northeastern Washington and North Idaho. My Dad took me in the 50's to Pack River in Idaho. From that moment on, I was hooked.
Hi from Vineyard, UT!! My husband and I love your videos! We’ll be trying our hand at Tenkara fishing this summer. 🤞🏽Thanks for the inspiration!
Indianapolis, Indiana. I discovered Tenkara by accident, but I picked it up from watching your videos. I fish for panfish and bass mostly and will sometimes get a chub or two.
Hi, I'm watching from Japan and love fishing at creeks to catch Iwana and Yamame deep inside the mountains
Another inspired Tenkara angler. Watching from Rocky Mountain National Park today!
South Carolina, mostly trout fish for brookies and rainbows in the southern Appalachians, but have fished many areas of the eastern & western US. Traditional western fly fisher. Just bought my first tenkara rod! Can't wait to try it out.
Naples, Florida. Love how you mash the hook barbs so you can release the fish unharmed. I don't do any fly fishing but will be trying it out soon in salt water. Thank you for sharing!
I'm in Everett, Washington. I just started tenkara a little over a year ago and I can't get enough. I usually find rainbows in almost every stream here in western WA and the occasional cutthroat and brooke trout. Haven't landed a bull trout yet but I know we've got em. Would like to get a dolly or steelhead too. I know you were planning on heading this way soon but hit me up if you want a pristine lake with two sub species of cutthroat (coastal and yellowstone). I know an absolutely stunning spot way off the beaten path that most people wont bother going to because you have to take an old bumpy one-lane road for almost 20 miles to get there.
Hi Tristan. I'm Pete watching from Yorkshire, England. Really envious of the fantastic waters you have over there. I started with tenkara a couple of years ago but haven't fully committed, still fish rod and line. I have found it great for contact nymphing though. Landed an 18 inch brown on tenkara tackle earlier this year in fast water so that gave me some confidence. Great channel, best on here. keep making me envious for a good while longer
Las Vegas. I can't get out there any longer but I started fishing at 3 years old. I've fished all of California and last fished here at Lake Mead. I've caught trout, stripper, cat, blue and yellow gill. Great video, thanks Tristan 😊
Love those casual by the road creeks you can (almost) fish it from the parking lot .
Hugs from Brazil RN
Peacock bass, snook and ocasional baby tarpon are my most targeted ones.
Baraboo. WI. I mostly fly fish in Colorado, but after watching your channel, I have a Tenkara rod ordered and can’t wait to try it!
Hi Tristan,
I love your videos! I always watch until the end of every one. I am in Arizona near Sedona. I fish for rainbows, browns, brooks, and of course the native Gila and Apache trout. I also have 3 creeks near me that have coosa bass (redeye bass). They are super fun to catch with tenkara rods! Keep the great content coming... I appreciate you!
Watching from Fort Collins, Colorado. Enjoy your videos weekly with my kids who all tenkara fish. We seem to spend more time catching warm water species in places nearby town, but are trying to incorporate more stream and alpine lake fishing in the mountains while hiking or backpacking.
Like Your videos alot. I've never fished tenkara, but I do fish ultra light equipment on the truckee and out at Pyramid lake. My favorite combo for Pyramid is an ultra light St Croix rod in 7 ft. length With a Pflueger reel with 6 lb. Spiderwire mono, I can really feel the light hitters and the fight is indescribable! I release everything I can. My biggest is a 17.8 lb. Lahontan cut throat that I caught with a white popcorn beatle. That was quite the fight and took a long time to revive and release. Anyway keep fishing and videoing as you have made winter in Nevada a little easier to take
Such a beautiful creek. I love e fishing small little creeks like this. Lots of good fishing in such small water
I'm from Sweden, have locked att almost all of your Tenkara films and all are very good. I'm fishing exclusive with Tenkara and try to catch brown trout's and graylings here in Sweden and Norway
I watched to the end, because I don’t want to miss anything. I live in NC, a long drive from our trout fishing. I fish some with my brother in VA trout streams. Looking forward to trying tenkara this summer. Tied a variety of flies with yarn bodies this winter, copying some of your patterns.
Nokesville, VA Fly fish for Bass, panfish, fallfish and the occasional trout.
Great video. I am from Yukon, Oklahoma. Just getting started in Tenkara and really enjoy your videos. One of the first things I do on Saturday mornings.
Lol. Greetings from Choctaw, OK. Tristans' videos get me fired up to fish!
Thanks for watching! I spent about 10 minutes fishing a mud hole in the very tip of the Oklahoma panhandle last year but didn't catch anything lol
@@TenkaraAddict sounds about right. Blue River is good fishing, but it is stocked only in fall and winter.
Tristan, long time viewer and been using your yarn in my tenkara flies. Have enjoyed the videos. Northern Colorado viewer.
Living in Reno NV but originally from SE Idaho. Have fly fished for years but just got a Tenkara rod last week and I’m anxious to take it out. Thanks for the great videos!
Watching from Michigan. Love the small stream content!
Watching from Düsseldorf in Germany. Really enjoy your enthusiasm and joy at catching fish. So infectious. Keep up the great videos 👍
I am in the UK, have fished all sorts of waters, both fresh and sea, for anything that swims but recently, living in Wales, fishing the local river and lakes for brown trout, sea trout and salmon.
Very recently the upper reaches of the Severn and Wye rivers for trout and grayling. My favourite fishing is in small streams, it was how I started as a kid.
I’ve been to Cardiff Wales. Really enjoyed it. But Wanted to get up to the Northeast Miuntains and do some fishing. I never had a chance but maybe next time.
Coos Bay, OR; Out here the coastal creeks are so very brushy that they are really hard to fish so most of our fishing is on the lakes and in the bays and ocean. Although I do know of a great place up in the headwaters of the Umpqua where there are pretty big browns that I would like to try the Tenkara style of fishing on. I love those high mountain / desert streams and creeks. Love your vids and look forward to being a little jealous each time I watch one. Jerry 😎👍
I watch all your videos. I’m in northern utah and fish only in northern utah so far. I only fish small creeks and smaller rivers such as the Logan river. I have never been skunked since switching to Tenkara style. Thanks Tristan
Watching this from south of France. I love to fly-fish alpine lakes and streams in the Mercantour. I've watched lots of your videos and I'm really eager to get into tenkara fishing !
Keith from Southeastern Pennsylvania. I fish mostly the native brook trout streams all around Eastern Pennsylvania, and also some of the wild Brown streams. So jealous of your streams and the variety of fish you find in them.
Hey mate! From the UK where I fish the Dorset chalk streams for the much larger wild brown trout we're so lucky to have here!
Thanks for the great videos, love your content!
I’m from Moscow, Russia. Wild trout is almost impossible to find in the region, but I heard it exists in one creek. So, I have to fish for different carp like species.
Last year I went to the Kola peninsula where I caught trout, grayling and even pink salmon on a tenkara rod. Also had great success in Bulgaria.
Next week I’m going to the Caucasus mountains for hiking and fishing.
I bought an SUV and equipped it for sleeping after watching your main channel (I’m actually camping in it right now), but I have to rent a house because my wife and cat are going with me :(
P.S. I’m sorry for Ukraine 🇺🇦
The vast majority if us understand that the Russian People are not supportive of Putin’s aggressive war. Best of fortune to you and yours!
Dude! "Sorry for Ukraine " awesome!! Yeah, don't worry, most of us out here understand this is just about a couple of crooks (Putin and Biden) making money and distraction... sorry YOU have to lose countrymen too because of our pathetic leadership! A real president wouldn't have even let this start... a couple A10s with some F22 backup could've brrrrrtttt that convoy in the beginning and stopped it... oh well... 😞
Anchor Point Alaska here! Tell ya what's great fun... a 24ft cheap assed Goture being hit by a 25lb king! THAT'S a stressful, but AWESOME time...
@@cplatter38 if people were more into politics Putin wouldn’t get that power to do bed things. Even now Russians continue doing what they can do the best - surviving in their small enclosed worlds.
@@cplatter38 I just wanted to fish for trout but this spawning beasts were everywhere. They are actually invasive and weren’t supposed to be in that creek.
Good morning Tristan. I just had my Saturday morning dose of Tenkara. Thanks for all the videos. I live in Morrison Colorado and fish the small creeks around central Colorado. I carry one of my four zoom rods because the streams are so variable as far as size. We have brown, rainbow , and cutthroat trout where I spend my time. I love seeing you catching trees and logs just like I seem to do. You show the good and not so good. Nice for folks to see that too. It makes you more human and relatable. See you next Saturday.
Bob in Rouses Point, NY……. I fish the Chazy, Chattaugay, Ausable, Boquet, and countless streams in the Adinondacks and northeast NY. I also fish Vermont on the Lamoile, Winooski, and countless streams there as well …..I’ve recent hit some bass water connected to Lake Champlain with some success. Enjoying tenkara so much there’s dust on my fly rods.
Michigan, smallmouth, musky, pike, trout. I tie flies, and make lures. I also like to fish alone. Lol thanks for the great videos.
Made it to end for the third time. Love bingewatching your channel. From Norway. Browntrout, brooketrout, Brookechar and Greyling. Specially Greyling on tenkara is very cool.
Watching from the Oklahoma Panhandle, do most of my fishing in southwest Colorado. Enjoy watching your videos and love your enthusiasm.
Bellingham Wa, soon to be Meridian Id. I love how much energy and enthusiasm are in these videos of your vs. the more factual SUV videos. I know what your heart loves!
Welcome to the valley.
Always watch on my lunchbreak in SE Pennsylvania. You got me into tenkara and I haven't looked back!
Great spot. My name is Adam and I slay Bass in Southern California. I stumbled onto your channel while I was researching Tenkara for backpacking and I have watched all of your videos since. Great content and your passion and enjoyment really shines through. Thanks for taking the time to film your adventures
Los Angeles, CA. I tenkara fish the Eastern Sierras as much as I can! Also Kings Canyon and when I get a chance to go back to CO, I fish the Frying Pan and Roaring Fork rivers. Well done on that glorious steam!
Virginia,trout,smallmouth,steelhead.whatever is biting 👍😁😁Enjoy the videos🤷♂️
North Texas. I'm very much a cane pole in a pond kind of guy which is probably why I like your style.
Great Video as always! I'm fishing Teton Zoom Rod in the Eastern Sierra Mtns, Ca. Higher elevation fishing for golden trout, brook Trout & brown Trout
Hi I’m from Deep South Texas. San Benito to be exact. Loved your video. I can’t wait to get my first ever tankera rod I fish for large mouth bass and I’m always missing my target and landing my lure on the bank of the canal. The only trout around these parts is speckled trout. And you only catch those on salt water. Stay safe and keep making those videos thier so entertaining I love all the places that you go to. So beautiful
