TENKARA: RADICALLY SIMPLE, ULTRALIGHT FLY FISHING

by: Kevin C. Kelleher, M.D. & Misako Ishimura

With Tenkara, there is no reel & the line hitched directly to the end of the long rod, imparting an element of highly functional simplicity. At the same time, the Tenkara rig can turn over a cast of such grace that it nearly guarantees a light & effective presentation. 17.5×9 inches, 160 pgs.
