Tenkara

A traditional Japanese method of fly fishing with a rod, line and fly.

Tenkara is the traditional Japanese method of fly-fishing where only a rod, line and fly are used. It originated and was perfected over centuries in the mountain-streams of Japan by commercial anglers. It is the ideal method of fly-fishing mountain streams but now many Americans are adapting it for many other uses.

Tenkara Japanese fly fishing is about simplicity. It eliminates unnecessary complexities to let anglers enjoy their fly-fishing experience. The ultra-light and portable Tenkara gear is great for backpacking and hiking, 11-14 foot long rods collapse down to 20 inches. The long rods allow anglers to effectively fish challenging streams with ease. Shop our selection of Tenkara fly fishing gear online.
