Hi Tristan, some 30 years ago as a child my father taught me how to fish with long bare rod and a fly but moving downstream only. Now I got proper tenkara gears and catch mostly browns here in Bulgaria. By watching your videos I have learnt a lot about the technique you do and became a very inspired angler.
Greetings from Bulgaria
One of your tenkara disciples here in the Iowa Driftless. Two years ago I hardly ever fished; since then (mostly due to your inspiration) I get out once or twice a week. Mostly wild browns here with the occasional stocker/hold-over rainbow. The Iowa Driftless also has the westernmost creek in the continental U.S. with native, wild brook trout. Thanks for sharing!
Gary, believe it or not, I literally fished that creek yesterday lol!
@@TenkaraAddict I know you cherish your solitude but part of me wishes I could have met you while you were in this neck of the woods. Hope your visit was fun and productive!
Watching from the Kalahari desert South Africa. Love your channel - we fly fish and tenkara mostly to big yellow fish in the Vaal and Orange river systems. Don't worry, if been sucking at it for about 35 years now and still enjoy every moment of it.
Lol thanks for watching! I had to look up yellowfish. Looks like they'd be fun to catch!
I’m from Manila, Philippines! Always looking forward every Saturday for a new vid out! Gotta say am really envious with all the Trout fishing there, I think I’m the only Tenkara guy in my country (that I know of) 😅
I'm practically your neighbor. Layton, Utah. I am old and disabled and I fish the small Mountain and Desert Streams for Cutthroat Trouts.. Mostly Fly Fishing or Dapping but I got a new Tenkara Rod to try out this year. Working on my Fifth Cutthroat Slam.. It does get me out of the house. I have fished Southern Idaho and Wyoming and Nevada in the past so many of the places you fish are quite familiar to me.
The farmland of Illinois, no trout here but I do make it to the Missouri Ozarks a few times a year for trout fishing. I’ll have a Tenkara rod with me next trip.
Thanks.
Southwest ID (Nampa). So far I have tried to fish all the local ponds, lakes and lately trying to hit the rivers like the Boise river and Payette river. I had a bad injury to my right arm a year ago so my Tenkara days have been postponed for a bit. I have been tagging creaks in the meantime on Google maps for when I can start exploring.
I started getting back into fishing right when covid started. I started with bass and crappie. I started on trout last spring. Tried my luck with fly fishing and failed miserably but haven't given up. You keep me inspired along with the tuber "Bass'N'Trout" who is mainly a spinning reel genius with trout. Finding the spots and learning the lures is where I am now. Hoping to become proficient in Tenkara someday soon though. Like you, I prefer places less traveled or fished.
Thank you for the time you spend sharing and editing.
Try left handed?
@@brian1204 I have been. I have cheap fly rod that I had started to practice with before the injury. Haha, I thought I was terrible casting it right handed. Left is a whole other challenge. I will get there though. My goal is next Spring.
Having bursitis in my right shoulder at 71 years of age, I quickly taught myself to cast left handed - it's easier than you might think. NOTHING is stopping me from getting out and fishing.
@@chriskight7080 Sorry to hear about the bursitis. I've been out bass and crappie fishing casting lefty just fine with the spinning reel. I've only postponed the fly fishing. I've attempted going for trout and have caught 1 river trout (rainbow) with a worm. Haven't had luck yet using Panther Martin's or marabous but I have been trying. Even with my father in law 50 feet away catching fatties. I'm still a novice with trout. But trust me, I'm still getting out there even with no bites. The scenery and alone time is worth it on its own.
That stream was indeed a gem! I’m in Virginia - my fishing is approximately 20% for native brook trout in small mountain streams, and 80% for sunfish in a couple local public ponds. Those percentages are the reverse of my outings long ago. But the aging process makes the mountain treks a bit less ambitious these days - but valued more. Nearly all my outings now are tenkara; only rarely does a conventional fly rod tag along. I greatly look forward to your new episodes each week!
I use to live in Lee country Va. Not far from Cumberland Gap, which had some pretty good trout fishing.
I live in Roanoke and fish about 100% in small mountain streams because I don’t know any ponds near me
@@blueridgeflyguy9551 The rivers in Lee county were nicely stocked. But your lucky, I’d rather fish Mountain steams than ponds any day.
I'm in the northern Shenandoah Valley and just getting into Tenkara, but am having difficulty finding access to the local mountain streams. A lot of no trespassing/no fishing signs.
@@ppinckney Yes, it is difficult unless you live close to a state park or public lands. Or know someone that will allow you to fish on their land.
Thanks again for the great day of Nature AND FREEDOM AND fun of trout fishing. I live in upstate New York. Plenty of small Brook trout streams i love to fish. And Bigger streams with Brook trout Rainbow trout and Brown trout. Keep on trouting those great video's. Thanks 🎣
hi! I’m Demetria, newbie fly fisherwoman from Lakewood, Colorado; we fish in the mountains between Vail and Leadville, in the Eagle River, or Mitchell Creek…I caught my first 12 inch brown with my tenkara suzume a few months ago! Super exciting! I squealed and nearly fed myself to the beavers! Thanks for your videos! I’m trying to retain myself to use my net instead of heaving my fish onto the bank…work in progress!
Love your comment "I suck at fishing". We have all said this at one time or another. Loved the super clear water and watching that Brown Trout grab your fly. I love fishing for all types of fish especially Rainbows. Hello from Alabama. Another great video Tristan!!
Fellow Alabamian here....where do you fish locally?
@@laggismaximus I live in North Alabama near Huntsville. I like fishing in the Sipsey below Smith Dam. We don't have many places to catch trout in AL but there are some ponds that stock trout in the winter. I also fish whenever i go out of town on travel and caught lots of trout in Utah.
Northern Sweden. Mostly fish for Brown trout and brook trout (brook trout is invasive here) in small creeks and brown trout and char in small lakes in the mountains.
Love both your channels and I'm in Colorado.
I'm from Poland.
I fish, or at least try to catch, pike, perch, Zander. There is also a lot of carp family fishes in here. But the major target for me is chub. I try to catch them on fly rod, using foam bug imitation. Fly fishing is something very new. It's to far for trout fishing. So if you don't have what you like, you have to like what you have😉
I've found your channel, when I was doing some research on CZcams. It's great. The best thing I can see every time, that there's nobody around, just you, and the nature. In my local rivers, sometimes there's more fishermans, than fishes in the water.
I’m from Moscow, Russia. Wild trout is almost impossible to find in the region, but I heard it exists in one creek. So, I have to fish for different carp like species.
Last year I went to the Kola peninsula where I caught trout, grayling and even pink salmon on a tenkara rod. Also had great success in Bulgaria.
Next week I’m going to the Caucasus mountains for hiking and fishing.
I bought an SUV and equipped it for sleeping after watching your main channel (I’m actually camping in it right now), but I have to rent a house because my wife and cat are going with me :(
P.S. I’m sorry for Ukraine 🇺🇦
The vast majority if us understand that the Russian People are not supportive of Putin’s aggressive war. Best of fortune to you and yours!
Dude! "Sorry for Ukraine " awesome!! Yeah, don't worry, most of us out here understand this is just about a couple of crooks (Putin and Biden) making money and distraction... sorry YOU have to lose countrymen too because of our pathetic leadership! A real president wouldn't have even let this start... a couple A10s with some F22 backup could've brrrrrtttt that convoy in the beginning and stopped it... oh well... 😞
Anchor Point Alaska here! Tell ya what's great fun... a 24ft cheap assed Goture being hit by a 25lb king! THAT'S a stressful, but AWESOME time...
@@cplatter38 if people were more into politics Putin wouldn’t get that power to do bed things. Even now Russians continue doing what they can do the best - surviving in their small enclosed worlds.
@@cplatter38 I just wanted to fish for trout but this spawning beasts were everywhere. They are actually invasive and weren’t supposed to be in that creek.
Hey man, I live in West Texas. Nothing around here but panfish to catch on my flies, (still a ton of fun) but I try to get away to colder water as much as I can. I hit northern New Mexico quite a bit. I'm very new to fishing. A little over a year ago I had a friend introduce me to Tenkara. We had two days of bad fishing the Rio Grande and other smaller streams in NM where I caught my first fish. (Brown Trout.) It was such a blast that I've gone way deep into this hobby! Your videos have been a great way for me to learn a few tricks of the trade. I've begun tying my own flies, and have had a ton of success with the patterns you've shown using some of your yarn! Keep the videos coming!
From Kansas, fish all over, multiple techniques, cold and warm water. Love tenkara fishing small remote creeks , recovering from surgery ,Dreaming about the spring
Hi Tristan! I enjoy watching every one of your videos as you get them posted. I live in Roseville, CA - just about an hour and 30 minutes from Lake Tahoe so I have all the rivers and streams in the Tahoe Sierra to choose from. There are many that are just perfect for Tenkara. I live at about 250 feet of elevation but I can be up at 6000 or 7000 feet in about an hour and 15 minutes of driving. I fish Tenkara about 30 times a year but do some traditional fly fishing as well. My first rod was the Luong Tam Tanuki Ninja rod and I still use it. All 'round great rod. I just caught a 36" Lahontan Cutthroat BEAST in Pyramid lake on an 8 weight rod, throwing large articulated streamers. Landing it was an epic battle. Released it of course. The following week I was catching beautiful 8 to 10 inch brook trout on the West Carson River at high elevations. So many adventures, so little time. I'm on the Board of Directors of a large fly fishing club (350 members) in Granite Bay and we have a group of members that mostly fish Tenkara - there are about 25 of us. We've had Luong Tam (Tanuki Tenkara) as a speaker at our monthly meeting a couple of times. Funny guy!
hey Tristan, I live in the Front Range of Colorado and love combining camping BLM and Tenkara in the state. I was a big fan of the Elk River near Clark, CO before the wildfires 2 years ago. much more scenic in the Pagosa Springs area near Piedra on the Piedra River. There are just tons of no-name streams in the foothills and deeper in the mountains. Throw a fly into most irrigation ditches and find happy fish everywhere
Hello. Vit here from Czech Republic. Been flyfishing since childhood, started with tenkara a year ago just for a few creeks and now I take it everywhere...nice video mate!
Grew up in Bavaria, Germany, and now live in Plano, Texas. Love and watch both of your channels.
I’ve started watching because I never heard of a tenkara rod. I’m an American living in Canada. Started fly fishing when I lived in Washington State. Your area is the same environment as the area of Washington I lived in. Fishing this small creeks looks fun. Thanks for sharing your adventures
I like your enthusiasm. Although with catching like that it's easy to see why. Watching you fish those Idaho creeks brings back memories of fishing in Montana. Always passing through Idaho to get home to Springville Utah where the Provo River is not far and world class. Stopped at a tributary of the Snake and marveled at the giant trout in such a small stream. Alas, fishing that creek was closed for one more week. Always wanted to return during open season but moved to Florida beforehand. Fishing for Snook, Redfish, Snapper and Grouper now.
Hampshire, United Kingdom. Been fly fishing for Brown and Rainbow trout for nearly 45 years now and recently been fishing Tenkara style. Love your videos, keep it up. Regards, Simon.
Millinocket, Maine. Just starting out with fishing and love the inspiration that you provide. I landed a smallmouth this week with a tenkara (but still looking to land my first brookie)!
Ha! I'm just an hour south of you! I've caught some great brookies north of the park, but generally fishing the Penobscot for bass.
I'm from oklahoma. I fish for anything that bites. I catch a lot of gills, crappie, and bass. We have a couple of stocked rivers around here, I try to make it too on occasion. They are stocked with Bows and Brownies. I have yet to catch a brown out of anywhere. I recently started Tenkara and love it. I'm going to get out after some tenkara style trouting soon. Love the content keep it coming. Thank you lots and tight lines.
I'm here in Idaho and have fished the stream you are on many times. It is a brushy bugger! Love the small streams.
Hey Tristan,I am watching from Spokane Valley Wa. I have really enjoyed watching your videos. I fish for Kokkanee, rainbow trout and walleye mainly. Oh also surf perch on the Washington coast. Watching you has encouraged me to get into Tenkara. I bought my 1st Tenkara rod last week, a Dragontail Mizuchi. Very excited to fish with it and already have my eye on 3 creeks to test it on. Thank you for your entertaining and informative videos. Take care and fish on.🐟
I’m in Central AZ in the furnace desperately wishing I was in that creek. Such a healthy and vibrant place. Those were some happy fish.
I am flat on my back in the hospital recovering from my fifth back surgery. Hoping that I can get out in a couple weeks and teach my granddaughter Tenkara fishing with the rod I just bought her for her birthday May 31. Have enjoyed all your technical information and your fishing ethics. Keep up the good work
Grew up in the Eastern Sierras and now live in Colorado. Love your channel and the type of water you fish...reminds me of how I fished back in the 70s/80s.
I'm from Grand Junction, Usually I go to the Grand Mesa for fishing. Sometimes to Vega Reservoir on the eastern part of Grand Mesa I have fished Flaming George, Red Fleet Dam, and Stienaker Reservoir outside of Vernal in Eastern Utah. I have fished Lake Avery and Meadow Lake North of Meeker Colorado. I have also wanted to fish the Yampa River north outside of Craig Colorado for Northern Pike. A lot of places to fish here in Western Colorado and Eastern Utah. I also used to do a lot of summer deep sea fishing with my uncle on the Oregon Coast. My PB was on the Pacific Ocean off the Chetco River in Southern Oregon. 38lb Chinook Salmon. What a lot of fun that was. Thanks for the video.
From near Sacramento, CA. Just recently got interested in tenkara, from watching you on SUV RVing. Received my tenkara rod yesterday & me & hubby going camping & fishing this upcoming week north of Lake Shasta. Love both your channels.
Michael from Eugene, Oregon. I mostly fish for rainbows and cutthroats in the Cascades. I only started tenkara fishing about a year ago and really appreciate your videos. I always learn from them and really enjoy them when I need a break from work.
Good'eh tristen, im Joe from ottawa ontario. Here we have some big water rivers and the great lakes that give us great oportunity for warmwarter species this far north, largemouth, smallmouth, bluegill, yellow perch, crappie, gar, channel cattfish, northern pike, walleye, musky, carp etc. However we have excellent fishing opporunity for native brook trout. Usually when fly fishing we target these these brookies im small streams or lakes, however when flyfishing we also target smallmouth, northern pike, carp, panfish and most recently rainbows. After many years in ontarios back country we finally found a trout creek with wild rainbows and native brook trout and caught a dozen between myself and my two brothers yesturday. Your videos are making us seriously consider buying a tenkara rod as this creek seems an ideal place to use it.
Tight lines from three brothers in the great white north brotha!
I am in Deep South Texas and live vicariously through your video’s. We have no streams at all to fish in with out driving many miles.
Hey Tristan. Brent here, watching from Portland, Oregon. I don’t actively fish right now so I am living vicariously through your adventures! Hope to start again soon. You are certainly giving me incentive. Thanks so much!
Escape Portland! Move to greater idaho!! The fishing is awesome!
Living in Bend, in central Oregon. Exclusive Tenkara. I catch Redside / Rainbow, Brook, a few Brown, and an occasional Bull Trout. From little natives in creeks to large trout in bigger rivers. Love it!
Hi Tristan, Ken from, Ballina, I'm located in the north east corner in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
I predominantly fish for freshwater Bass, all catch & release & in tiny creeks, creeks which I've fished since I was a young teenager, Im now quickly approaching 65.
I enjoy your fishing adventures very much, stay well & travel safe.
Tight lines.
Regards,
Ken Johnston
This was an awesome session. Thanks for taking us along. Watching from the UK where it's hard to do this type of fishing in my local area.
Tristan- Dave here, from Menasha, WI. For my Trout excursions I travel to the Waupaca area, which is about an hour from my home. Mostly Brook and Brown Trout there. Great little find there. Sometimes a change in plan can be the best decision of the day.
Hi Tristan I am from Merseyside in England been following you , I use to fish rivers and streams round Wales for Grayling and Brown Trout, also fished in Scotland for Salmon and in Cornwall for salmon and Sea Trout, I only fish still waters now as I am not so secure on my pins had a bad fall last year so decided to stop fishing rivers age caught up with me. Keep up the videos gives me great pleasure watching them, I also watch Your Suv channel, tight lines
Regards Ian R
So glad I found your videos. I have to say I'm pretty jealous of these small streams you fish lol. Just ordered my Dragontail Mizuchi and can't wait to try it out. I'm in south central Pennsylvania and mostly fish for trout. Always used a spinning rod and worms. Caught a 10" brown, 2 10"rainbow, and a 13" rainbow yesterday. Been wanting to try fly fishing but I think tenkara is going to be more fun.
I'm watching from Japan.
But,I have not experience about Tenkara .I fish trout with lure.
Love your video !
I'm in Everett, Washington. I just started tenkara a little over a year ago and I can't get enough. I usually find rainbows in almost every stream here in western WA and the occasional cutthroat and brooke trout. Haven't landed a bull trout yet but I know we've got em. Would like to get a dolly or steelhead too. I know you were planning on heading this way soon but hit me up if you want a pristine lake with two sub species of cutthroat (coastal and yellowstone). I know an absolutely stunning spot way off the beaten path that most people wont bother going to because you have to take an old bumpy one-lane road for almost 20 miles to get there.
Bob in Rouses Point, NY……. I fish the Chazy, Chattaugay, Ausable, Boquet, and countless streams in the Adinondacks and northeast NY. I also fish Vermont on the Lamoile, Winooski, and countless streams there as well …..I’ve recent hit some bass water connected to Lake Champlain with some success. Enjoying tenkara so much there’s dust on my fly rods.
Fun video. Im glad left in all the snags and missed hook sets. Show the true nature of fishing tight spring creeks.
Naples, Florida. Love how you mash the hook barbs so you can release the fish unharmed. I don't do any fly fishing but will be trying it out soon in salt water. Thank you for sharing!
Northwest Pennsylvania. Was always frustrated by the lack of lakes around me until I start chasing trout and then a whole new world opened up to me.
South Carolina, mostly trout fish for brookies and rainbows in the southern Appalachians, but have fished many areas of the eastern & western US. Traditional western fly fisher. Just bought my first tenkara rod! Can't wait to try it out.
Hey Tristan, my name is Jayce. I live in northern Utah but I am originally from south east Idaho. I originally got into Tenkara because a friend of mine showed me his dads Tenkara gear and took me out fishing with it once. It sucked miserably though and we caught nothing. Somehow I happened upon your channel and saw how fun Tenkara is supposed to be. I ended up getting a rod and have absolutely loved it since. I will say the beginning of the video was actually somewhat encouraging for me as I feel like I’m the only Tenkara angler that has times when it seems like I can’t avoid getting snagged. Thanks for the amazing content!
Hello from Middle Tennessee! The state parks in TN have some great fishing!
Watching this lovely video from Fort Wayne Indiana. Born and raised in Northern Michigan, fly fisher since birth. Great videos friend.
Maine here! I've been watching your other channel for quite a while and finally made it here. Great work!
I watched to the end, because I don’t want to miss anything. I live in NC, a long drive from our trout fishing. I fish some with my brother in VA trout streams. Looking forward to trying tenkara this summer. Tied a variety of flies with yarn bodies this winter, copying some of your patterns.
I’m watching from north Georgia. I love fishing and I chase every species I can. My experience with trout so far is limited to stocker rainbows at a nearby mountain creek but, I am interested in branching out.
Baraboo. WI. I mostly fly fish in Colorado, but after watching your channel, I have a Tenkara rod ordered and can’t wait to try it!
Hi from Vineyard, UT!! My husband and I love your videos! We’ll be trying our hand at Tenkara fishing this summer. 🤞🏽Thanks for the inspiration!
Great video. I am from Yukon, Oklahoma. Just getting started in Tenkara and really enjoy your videos. One of the first things I do on Saturday mornings.
Lol. Greetings from Choctaw, OK. Tristans' videos get me fired up to fish!
Thanks for watching! I spent about 10 minutes fishing a mud hole in the very tip of the Oklahoma panhandle last year but didn't catch anything lol
@@TenkaraAddict sounds about right. Blue River is good fishing, but it is stocked only in fall and winter.
Living in Reno NV but originally from SE Idaho. Have fly fished for years but just got a Tenkara rod last week and I’m anxious to take it out. Thanks for the great videos!
Eastern Washington, small streams in Northeastern Washington and North Idaho. My Dad took me in the 50's to Pack River in Idaho. From that moment on, I was hooked.
Hi I’m from Deep South Texas. San Benito to be exact. Loved your video. I can’t wait to get my first ever tankera rod I fish for large mouth bass and I’m always missing my target and landing my lure on the bank of the canal. The only trout around these parts is speckled trout. And you only catch those on salt water. Stay safe and keep making those videos thier so entertaining I love all the places that you go to. So beautiful
Great video! I love watching you and getting new ideas/techniques for Tenkara fishing. I am in Southwest WY and got into Tenkara watching your videos. It is so much to go up to the mountain streams and catch beautiful trout. It's all I have been doing for the last couple months. Thanks!!
Watching this from south of France. I love to fly-fish alpine lakes and streams in the Mercantour. I've watched lots of your videos and I'm really eager to get into tenkara fishing !
North Central Georgia. That creek was really deceiving. Looks like a lot of fun. I fish for rainbow, brown and brook trout. Bluegill, crappie and bass. I'm looking forward to my order of fly tying yarn that i ordered from you. Thanks for it all. Keeps me going for sure
San Diego way. I fish lakes, San Diego river and the ocean. Tons of opportunities here. Thank for taking us along…
From Charlotte NC. Really enjoyed watching that video. To walk on to a creek like that is a dream of mine.
Las Vegas. I can't get out there any longer but I started fishing at 3 years old. I've fished all of California and last fished here at Lake Mead. I've caught trout, stripper, cat, blue and yellow gill. Great video, thanks Tristan 😊
Growing up in Seattle and used to fish many small rivers and creeks there. Moved to Salem, OR and fish there as well. And moved to MN, no more or very limited trout fishing.
Northern Utah. I like to catch trout, bass, catfish, and crappie. I do a mixture of fly fishing and traditional fishing. Gonna be getting a tenkara setup here soon and can’t wait to try it out!
Hi Tristan,
I love your videos! I always watch until the end of every one. I am in Arizona near Sedona. I fish for rainbows, browns, brooks, and of course the native Gila and Apache trout. I also have 3 creeks near me that have coosa bass (redeye bass). They are super fun to catch with tenkara rods! Keep the great content coming... I appreciate you!
Hello from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! Just getting back into tenkara after a 25 year hiatus.
Nokesville, VA Fly fish for Bass, panfish, fallfish and the occasional trout.
I watch all your videos. I’m in northern utah and fish only in northern utah so far. I only fish small creeks and smaller rivers such as the Logan river. I have never been skunked since switching to Tenkara style. Thanks Tristan
Indianapolis, Indiana. I discovered Tenkara by accident, but I picked it up from watching your videos. I fish for panfish and bass mostly and will sometimes get a chub or two.
Made it to the end! Excellent looking creek there. I mostly fly fish for trout in northern MA, southern NH, and sometimes CT or VT.
Logan Utah, i had hoped to meet you when you were in Preston? I buy all my yarn, from you, and especially for tying tenkara flys. I fish for all trout here in utah, idaho, wyoming. doing the Utah and Wyo cutthroat slam. Fly fish tenkara, fly fish and spinner fish rivers, flat water for trout and some bass. Fish flaming gorge, Jackson Hole area, Alaska and anywhere. I love your channel and look forward to every saturday, and all Your SUV Rving videos, especially Utah Idaho wyoming Montana and Colorado. Love Mesa Verde. Thank very much
Great Video as always! I'm fishing Teton Zoom Rod in the Eastern Sierra Mtns, Ca. Higher elevation fishing for golden trout, brook Trout & brown Trout
Lewiston, Idaho. We fish the Snake and Clearwater river for salmon and steelhead. Plus some reservoirs for kokanee, trout and catfish.
Watching from Fort Collins, Colorado. Enjoy your videos weekly with my kids who all tenkara fish. We seem to spend more time catching warm water species in places nearby town, but are trying to incorporate more stream and alpine lake fishing in the mountains while hiking or backpacking.
Like Your videos alot. I've never fished tenkara, but I do fish ultra light equipment on the truckee and out at Pyramid lake. My favorite combo for Pyramid is an ultra light St Croix rod in 7 ft. length With a Pflueger reel with 6 lb. Spiderwire mono, I can really feel the light hitters and the fight is indescribable! I release everything I can. My biggest is a 17.8 lb. Lahontan cut throat that I caught with a white popcorn beatle. That was quite the fight and took a long time to revive and release. Anyway keep fishing and videoing as you have made winter in Nevada a little easier to take
Always watch on my lunchbreak in SE Pennsylvania. You got me into tenkara and I haven't looked back!
Seattle, Washington. I fish in the cascades on the eastside and westside streams and rivers. I also fish beaches for Sea Run cutthroat in Puget Sound.
Sounds fun!
Thanks Tristan for another great video, fun with branches along the creek. Not a bad creek, seemed to be supporting a lot of trout. My last trout outing was the Driftless area of NE Iowa. I fish more in warm water near Davenport Iowa. Tie almost all of my flies, and I have tied several Tenkara type flies that I will try on my standard 5wt. My wife is just starting and fishing Tenkara type line/leader may be more intuitive for her. We will see how it works out.
The scammers are back
Watching from the Oklahoma Panhandle, do most of my fishing in southwest Colorado. Enjoy watching your videos and love your enthusiasm.
Always enjoy watching your videos, from Grand Island Nebraska, most of the time I tenkara fish for bluegill, keep up the great work Tristan, thanks, Gene P.
Have recently discovered your videos and have subscribed. Watching from Durham , NC. Don’t get to fish much anymore, used to do some bass fishing and have fished for trout in our Blue Ridge mountains. Thanks for posting your vids!
Twin Falls Idaho. I really enjoy your videos. I’m going to start Tenkara fishing this summer. Cannot wait to start. It looks so much fun.
A Texas fan here, though I don't fish these days. I grew up fishing in Alabama, the land of Large Mouth Bass. Tenkara fishing looks like a ton of fun and I plan to try it one day.
Hi, I'm watching from Japan and love fishing at creeks to catch Iwana and Yamame deep inside the mountains
Good morning Tristan. I just had my Saturday morning dose of Tenkara. Thanks for all the videos. I live in Morrison Colorado and fish the small creeks around central Colorado. I carry one of my four zoom rods because the streams are so variable as far as size. We have brown, rainbow , and cutthroat trout where I spend my time. I love seeing you catching trees and logs just like I seem to do. You show the good and not so good. Nice for folks to see that too. It makes you more human and relatable. See you next Saturday.
Michigan, smallmouth, musky, pike, trout. I tie flies, and make lures. I also like to fish alone. Lol thanks for the great videos.
North Texas. I'm very much a cane pole in a pond kind of guy which is probably why I like your style.
Keith from Southeastern Pennsylvania. I fish mostly the native brook trout streams all around Eastern Pennsylvania, and also some of the wild Brown streams. So jealous of your streams and the variety of fish you find in them.
Mid Missouri, we have rainbows (9 wild fisheries) and browns. Love heading out west for similar fishing to what we normally see on your channel. FYI use nothing but Fly tying yarn, self tied flies. Thanks
Love those casual by the road creeks you can (almost) fish it from the parking lot .
Hugs from Brazil RN
Peacock bass, snook and ocasional baby tarpon are my most targeted ones.
Watching from far SE Kentucky...some trout fishing, some panfish, catfish, walleye, yellow perch and bass fishing.
I live in a village to the east of Preston in Lancashire in the UK. I do occasionally fish Tenkara but a lot of the rivers I fish are quite big and have runs of migratory fish as well.
I fish dry fly, nymph, North country wet flies and streamers and fly fish and trot for grayling in the winter months with a centrepin.
Denver, Colorado
Love the vids i think I've seen every single one, keep up the good work. I fish fly rod and reel, waiting to purchase my first Tenkara rod. Generally keep it pretty close so lower streams here hold pretty much all rainbow and browns. Caught my first Brooke last week! A new species has revamped me to go to higher streams with more Brookes, cut throats, and one day a Greenback which is number one on my bucket list. Thanks again for the videos and can't wait to buy my first Tenkara rod!
Aurora Colorado. Fly fishing for 50 years. Ty’s my own flies. Love your videos.
Great video, Tristan. I have been looking at your videos for about a year now and I have become a tenkara addict addict! Keep it up, I love your enthusiasm. Paul in Maryland
Thanks, I appreciate that! 😁
