You Are Lucky Men: A Day of Tenkara Fishing in Japan
Will I argue that tenkara fishing is fly fishing? No. I think it’s an irrelevant argument to have anyway. But when in Japan, exploring the traditional methods make for a great day on the water.

In a region dominated by gear fishing, Adam fools these beautiful, hard fighting smallmouth bass while casting fly patterns on what locals call “long rods” (fly rods).
