- MY NEW PERSONAL BEST TROUT ON THE TENKARA ROD!
Is this the biggest trout caught on tenkara on UA-cam? I have no idea because I don’t pay that much attention! But either way it was a fun day on the water.
Tenkara fly fishing is very annoying to me… your inability to cast like you would with the western style of fly fishing adds a new challenge to fishing for trout. However, some creeks just set up well for Tenkara fly fishing. This particular creek is small, has lots of fast water, and several deep holes allowing you to get up close and personal with some big trout.
In this video I worked pretty hard on a few nice trout before finally going toe to toe with a big rainbow trout. I was able to land the fish on the Tenkara rod and cemented my new personal best trout! I then went on to catch one other big trout on the Tenkara rod, which made the day that much better! Small creek fishing never gets old.
Unfortunately at the end of the day I hooked a nice trout and broke my Tenkara rod. I have no clue why it broke when it did, but this will be the end of the Tenkara videos for a while until I decide to get a replacement.
If you want to see more Tenkara fly fishing videos in the future let me know! Thanks for watching.

If you want to see me do more Tenkara fishing let me know! I'll have to buy a new rod 😅
I’d love to see more tenkara videos for sure.
No
Yo, this is hype!
Yes, I would like to see it. It reminds me of a time when my people would cut our own poles to fish with, and they were usually between three and four feet when we were just kids. When we grew to our mid teens, they became around 6 to 8 feet. But you also took the short one because of the very thick brushy patches where only a very short pole will work and you basically slingshotted your fly out because there was no room for a good cast sometimes but even there you could haul out a 20 incher or better.
Any excuse to enlarge the never ending fishing gear collection lol
I'm here because my boyfriend watches your videos a lot and I highly enjoy them! New to fly fishing and learning a lot from this channel.
Heck yeah that's awesome!! Thanks for watching and glad you're enjoying them.
I still can't get over the quality of the trout in such small rivers. Lovely fish and nicely done. 👍
Thank you!!
That first trout was phenomenal! Chunky and beautiful!
It was an awesome fish! Thanks for watching
Oh my, those were some amazing rainbows! Well done! Glad to see you applying tenkara in a situation like that. Any more, I always carry a very compact tenkara along with my fly rod when I go for mountain trout. Great outing - thank you for sharing it with us!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I love small streams in the mountains fast water! Nice fishing 🎣
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
What kind of reel
Ikr never seen one so lightweight before
Bluetooth reel
Wow! Cute creek and Huge Trout! Wow! ❤
I’m constantly amazed at the large trout caught in small streams. Thanks for sharing your adventures. 😎
Thank you for watching my adventures 😎
5:10 This is one of the few times in one of your videos that I can actually see the fish you're talking about. And that fish is a monster.
Yeah I was trying to point that fish out so everyone could see it! Glad you could spot it! Thanks for watching
Great video, those were some nice trout caught on that Tenkara rod. Thanks for taking tge time to share with us!
Glad you enjoyed!
Love the tenkara. Might want to get a hell bender or T hunter for the bigger boys
Yep I think I may have to spend a little less money and get 2 to replace the one I had. Maybe one that’s beefier so I could catch some bigger fish on it if I wanted too
I have the Dragontail Mizuchi and Hellbender, and if youre buying two rods that combo will cover this stream and a lot of others you've fished on this channel perfectly. Tristan from the TenkeraAddict channel has caught several trout in the 17-18ish inch range on the mizuchi in tiny creeks with 5x tippet with relative ease. The hellbender can handle fish much much larger and can be safely used with 3X tippet, and some even use 2X with it. Just my two cents, hope it helps.
I'm going to watch your channel regardless, but I'd love to see some more Tenkara thrown in every now n then. If you can, order a replacement tip section whenever you order a rod and keep it with you. It's a bummer to break and not have parts when you're miles from camp, rods and parts. I've western fly fished for most my life, but Tenkara is a lot of fun and as simple as it is, it has its challenges too. Which add to the fun! Last week here in the Eastern Sierra I used the HellBender to sight fish and bring a couple 18"+ Lahontan's and a nice 12" Golden from a small lake. Thank you guys again for your Sierra Golden adventure videos!! I also use Dragontail rods. The Kaida for most creeks and streams, a Mizuchi if I only pack one rod, and a Hellbender for bigger fish. Take care and thank you for the great entertainment!!
I will for sure get another one! I haven't yet but to be fair the weather has been so rough this year with droughts out in the East that I'm not sure it would've been too effective the past few months. But I'll make sure I get another one ordered and maybe make a few videos with it this fall / winter / spring. Thanks for the support! Comments like these help me know people are interested in Tenkara / this type of video and helps me know what kind of content you like seeing! Thanks.
Man the ability to go from fly fishing, spin fishing, and then this is just insane! I’m learning a lot from your fly fishing stuff love the videos man!
INSANE video as always ! I just love these video, there are incredible ! You can really soak in the scenary and the place you're fishing at !
Great job as always man !
Keep going my man !
Thank you so much!! Glad you're enjoying the videos and thanks for the kind words!
Tenkara ROCKS!!!! On little streams\
Enjoyed :) can't wait to watch the wild Rainbows run the brook here.
What a great stream and phenomenal fish! I'm going to do some smallmouth fishing this spring and I would like to see more tenkara videos. Thanks Jon!
I'll do my best! Thanks for watching
I'm trying to get into fly fishing in PA I think I remember you saying in previous videos thats where you're from, any good streams for beginners? Either way I love your channel been watching for a while all of your videos have been inspiring me to start fly fishing, it just looks like exactly what I'd want to be doing!
Nice video bro ! 😍😍😍
Wonderful spot and great fish. Haven’t tried tenkara yet but that looks like both a good challenge and great fun.
Yep it's definitely a fun challenge! It could be fun on long backpacking trips too
That 1st large trout was awesome! Let alone being in that small stream!
I know it was pretty sweet! Thanks for watching
sweet!!!! nice catch.
The first wild rainbow was nice! you totally just flipped that thing in your hand like a cowboy pistol and released it so smooth. You have become one with the trout fishing that Tenkara 😂. Great video brother!
Great video! Those are enormous trout on the Tenkara rod! You may very well have the UA-cam record. What rod were you using for this video? There are some good Tenkara companies that will back their rods and send free replacements if you ever break your rod on a fish.
Great stuff man. New at this tenkara adventure what would you recommend for a beginner? Cheap or solid price rod . Quick note I do fish pretty hard-core in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Great video man! Keep making them brother!
I will! Thanks for watching!
Great job with that tenkara pole. When it finally broke on the third fish I believe it already had stress fractures in it that aren't easy to see from catching the first two. But great catch, great video, and always tight lines.
That's what I was thinking honestly! Thanks for watching
Very impressive Hardman!
Love your clear creeks and wild trout my friend 💯 New Subscriber!
Thanks for the sub!! Hope you’re enjoying the videos
Really great fish and in this video we could actually see some of them in the water. Shame about the rod however it's an easy repair, I've had to do it several times. Keep posting them without the distracting music. The sound of the stream is all the background you need.
I plan on it! Thanks for watching
Man what pristine trout that creek must be firing on all eight cylinders to produce such quality fish like that, thanks for sharing May need a Tenkara with a little more backbone
I do believe those are stocked trout or caught in a stocked stream and released in a stream that isn't stocked.
What an epic video man! I fish North Georgia and Western NC a lot. I've never tried it with a Tenkara setup. Hope to see ya on a stream one day!
Heck yeah! I'm working on an NC video right now!!
@@hardmanfishing That's awesome! My girlfriend and I are making a trip up to camp and fish around Fontana. I plan to do some blue lining in the Smokies. As well as some of the bigger rivers.
Love the tenkara content! Gonna have to buy a new rod!!
Also you should make your own tenkarra out of a bamboo. Like a survival deal and make a video fishing with it I think alot of people would love to see something like that.
Tenkara sure is fun on really small streams
I agree! Makes for an interesting fish fighting experience.
Looks like a Nissin Zerosum rod :) It shouldn't break that easy but these rods are more sensible compared to a classical fly rod. If you target fish that size, you could find a better options at drangontailtenkara shop in US. Nice video by the way :)
Yes it was! And I’ll probably get it repaired and / or try to figure out a good replacement. I think if I go for big fish I may just need a slightly larger rod. Thanks for watching!!
Crazy how big trout move up the stream?
Amazing 😊
I like fishing small streams with my 5' rod, when I'am in NJ , NJ has alot of wild streams Hardman, I sometimes fish on my knees, not spook them.. I like over cast clouds no sun in my back..
I’ve heard NJ had some decent fishing! I’ll have to check it out someday. Thanks for watching!
What kind of vaders do you use? Looks like jeans, haha. Keep up the good work, really enjoying these vids.
They’re made by Dryft! And thanks for watching
I think the egg pattern on the tenkara rod is great. Feed them what they want to eat.
Does a flyrod Haft to have Cork handles
I've caught a 27" coho salmon on a "Tenkara " rod. But hey that's a nice fish dude.
What a great video as always. Do you think maybe the bigger fish that wouldn’t eat, had seen you and was a little spooked?
Also do you have any recommendations on a streamer rod, I know you have the streamer X, which is probably a great rod but any other suggestions?
yep 100%. I think he knew I was there and didn't care to eat.
What flys do you use usually like weighted flys or normal nymphes and some split shot with them?
I usually use weighted flies personally, but both probably work I guess
Sweet dude
Another great load of content, do you use nylon tippet/leader?? I was given a spool of 20lb nylon it's nearly invisible and super tough but I've never used nylon in fishing so Don't know what it's for??
Yep I do on occasion! I’d rather use fluorocarbon but nylon is usually my backup
Quality video...loved it! looking into trying this as well in an upcoming brook trout video i have planned. Any tips?
Not necessarily… just be prepared to get close 😂 you can fish it the exact way you fish your western style fly rod. Just don’t have the range
These no music videos are great.
Thank you!
What part of the east cost is this?
What color eggs? Im colorblind but I think I saw orange? Ive never tried em, but I tied some orange, pink, and yellow glo bugs to try tomorrow after work. Not gonna have time to try all 3 colors. Especially if I see any rising, I'd rather catch some on dries
They were like a salmon pink / orange color. Idk how to describe it exactly. It was one of the more natural "egg" colors.
@@hardmanfishing thank you
You need a Tanuki Pocket Ninja for brookies.
To hear the creek tumbling down over the rocks that is the music
Agreed, don’t need music, tumbling water soothes my soul 😎
Sweet, Tenkara's cool. Whatever works right?
Beautiful stream, are you able to disclose where this located? might need to take a camping trip soon!
Dang 2 big bows I would of been scared to break the rod … that’s crazy it broke on a smaller fish after
Yeah, I’m not so sure something didn’t happen on one of the bigger fish to cause that 😂 because I don’t know why else it would’ve happened
Super 😊
the fish are being bullies but you got em
More Tenkara! Fly rod seems clunky on that size stream
Yeah I don't disagree. That's why I decided to try it there! Thanks for watching
so strong you broke the rod
Fun to see some tenkara. Is this North Carolina?
No sir! But glad you enjoyed the Tenkara video
How do u find your streams I live in the Appalachian mountains and would love to find some native streams to fish
Tenkara rods are life time guaranteed!!!
What state is this creek located in? Cool video
What brand net do you use? Thanks
Catch cam nets!
I told you.. 😉
Vaer Watch?
Yep!
Too Bad the rod snapped. angles probably had a lot to do with the failure, if you hit the rod on something It could weaken the rod. Unfortunately crap happens and rods break. With some of the pack rods, you could carry an extra for a backup even when you carry a conventional fly rod.
my rainbow t. pb is 54cm 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Great video, what state is this in?
2 nice big fish with that tenkara rod! 🎉 I couldn't make out what tenkara rod you were using. What tenkara rod was it? Bummer that it broke,maybe those two big bows weakend it. Nice video.
It was a Nissin Zerosum
@@hardmanfishing oh damn! I was afraid it was a Nissan! They are great tenkara rods, not really designed to tangle with those 2 big trout but you still landed them! Congrats!
nice fish too bad about the rod, I'm still not sure about tenkara...
Me neither… but thanks for watching!
Nooooooooooooooooooooo........ not tenkara 😂
It’s okay I broke the rod so it’s game over for a while 😂
@@hardmanfishing just giving a hard time... too much huge fisherman videos
Lame.
I am very disappointed in you using Almighty Gods name in vain. I like your videos because you don’t curse.
Oh please!😂 get a grip.
Cry about it! Jesus is a hoax 😂
Suck an egg
You're just being a little girl . Maybe tell Jesus I'm sure he'll really fuckin care that you're offended
Spiega la tua attrezzatura, mi piace moltissimo questa pesca.
Wow! Cute creek and Huge Trout! Wow! ❤
I also like the egg patterns
