    WTB Tenkara setup

    I'm not a fisherman or an angler, but I'd like to start. I've been watching videos on Tenkara style fly fishing. I like the simplicity of gear and motion. I don't know which rod or line I need, but I'm looking to pick one up. Ping me if you have an extra

    I would contact Paul at AHE.
    Let him know the types of streams, rivers, lakes you will be fishing and he will hook you up with the correct kit,
    no hype no crap you can't use which will save you money in the long run.
    That is what I did and I have no regrets.

    Some small items pictures I already had.

    Paul at Fountainhead flyfishing is a wealth of knowledge too. His rods get great reviews, and will save you a ton. I just ordered a 12' Caddis fly from him an hour ago.
