At this this fun and informal educational session we’ll be meeting indoors where we’ll give an overview of the tenkara fishing style. We’ll talk about: the history of the style, types of rods/lines/flies, ideal fishing locations and more. We’ll also give folks a chance to get some hands-on time with rods as well and learning a few easy knots.
Learn how Friends of the River is protecting the rivers we love to fish on!
$5 suggested donation, open to the public.
(Details on meeting location/carpool possibilities etc. will be provided in a further email)
Register! $50 per person, limited to 15 spaces.
On Sunday the 13th we’ll be fishing the Middle Fork of the American River (near the confluence) using the tenkara style. We’ll have several tenkara guides on hand to help get you up and running and well and show you tips on: rigging/casting/etc.
All rods, lines and flies will be generously loaned by Tenkara USA. In 2009 Tenkara USA was the first company to introduce the tenkara style of fishing outside of Japan and their rods are widely considered some of the industry’s finest.
