Beautiful day on the Steavo. #flyfishing #tenkara The tiny bow, hit the fly like a beast, yet the Brown's take was subtle enough to barely notice it. Blackberries had overgrown all the paths. Had the river to myself. #bliss #mindfulness

Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐I've long thought that it would be useful to carry some ultralight #fishing gear when #backpacking or #camping, provided you get a proper game license and you will actually have the opportunity to use it.
#Tenkara was developed to address the challenges of mountain stream fishing in Japan, and relies on ultralight, super simple equipment. There's good cheap versions of tenkara rods available.
So, I want to give it a try, but first I want to read up a bit on fishing.
Thinking today about how much I love good #books. I am a big fan of the Think Books "Companion" series (Robson Books, London, early-mid 2000s), and I own a few of them. Last night, I ordered "The Fishing Companion" from the same series, should arrive from the UK next week.
#eBooks can be very useful, but a well-made pocket hardcover is a work of art.
I recently discovered #tenkara fishing, and I haven't fished since I was a child. I'm squeamish about #hunting and #fishing, but I do eat them.
Troy KitchBeautiful evening in the mountains near Frederick, Maryland. I intended to hike, but decided to break out the 4-foot Tenkara rod I always pack along just in case. Tonight, only caught a few trees and bushes, but it was lovely. Great water levels and cool temperatures, such a nice time of year. #tenkara #FlyFishing #hiking
Did some hiking this evening and a few casts in a small, spring-fed creek that’s home to some small, spring-fed brook trout. Glad we still have brookies in Frederick County, Maryland — and just look at how clear that water is.
Eastern Long-Whiskered BillyTied my first fly in a couple of months. That's a Gamakatsu S10-B in size 8. I really like this hook, but I struggle with the size 8 for some reason. Think I did it justice here, though. It's has got a natural "black" yarn body with a gold colored rib. The wing is deer hair. Tied it in hand (without a vise) using YLI 100 weight silk thread.
I caught one crappie on this fly and then promptly lost it in a tree. C'est la vie.

I broke a fishing pole. Shut the back hatch on it 😭. Luckily, just one segment was damaged, and I have another coming in the mail.
It was still a nice day for a walk, so I hiked around the lake.
Chuck GrimmettI've seen this called an Asahi Kebari and an Arakawa River Kebari. Either way it is a small streamer with a peacock herl body, white floss rib, and a pheasant tail wing.
