looses a $1,000 drone and ends the video with "It could be worse, I could've gotten skunked." I think that mentality that you convey is why I love your videos.

Thanks Tristan! Getting out and enjoying the beauty of the countryside & those streams, when I'm no longer able, means so much! So, thanks again!

Wow, that stream looks awesome - a lot of great looking runs, and those cutts looked to be pure. Bummer on the drone. I love these videos; we're in the dog days of summer here in Southeast Louisiana, and in my small stream adventures here, the warmwater fishing has become a bit spotty, so these videos are a great escape. We're headed to the Smokies, finally, next month - will become re-acquainted with my Tenkara.

As far as I know, yes, these are pure cutthroats. Native and wild. Beautiful! Thanks Ian, and good luck on your upcoming tenkara adventures.

My son lost a similarly priced drone in a very remote area two hours drive away and we spent a total of five days on three separate occasions searching for it but without success. He now has a more beefed-up model but now both with a GPS and automatic alarm system, plus he's super cautious!😉

Thank you for another excellent tenkara adventure! But so sorry about your drone! I’ve always liked your use of drones - always to good purpose, to set the scene, and never over-used. Lovely native fish. I appreciate your tech review of the new rod, and eagerly look forward to your next video.

Going to have to look into this rod. Used to fish a lot with my Orvis rods but looking at Tenkara fishing so this and the other rods you use may be a nice addition for when I hit the high country again. Hope you find your drone.

@TenkaraAddict 4 жыл бұрын

I think you'd like tenkara! The initial investment is relatively low, and you can always just sell your rod if you don't like it 😄

You have some really nice videos of your adventures. You have been my primary Tenkara You Tube site that I watch. You also introduced me into SUV RVing. This next spring I will head out to the Sierras and the KERN River for Tenkara fishing and SUV camping. I have a 2009 Saturn Outlook and it has plenty of room for me and my gear. Did you ever find your drone? Oh, could you list the size flies you use? Thanks for doing a great job my friend.

Streams like that would be my 7th Heaven, I'd never want to leave. Hope you find your drone, I used to fly free flight model aircraft back in the 70s, they had a habit of hiding in trees, they didn't cost so much though.

Man, that's an epic stream. Sorry for the drone loss, they need to add a little beeper on those that you can activate, or come in super florescent colors.

@TenkaraAddict 4 жыл бұрын

I believe they do have a beeper you can activate, but the drone has to be connected to the controller still. Mine wasn't.

Do you feel control or reach is more important fishing these small streams? Do you prefer fishing from the bank or in the water? Tree-fishing and multi-tasking bloopers notwithstanding, it was great!

@TenkaraAddict 4 жыл бұрын

I prefer fishing in the water because it's easier to avoid fly-eating trees. And it's just more fun. I don't think control and reach are mutually exclusive. There are plenty of rods that offer both. Thanks for watching

Good morning TA. Thank you again. Good fishing and nice sized beautiful fish. Hope you find your drone, That's an expensive lesson to learn isn't it? I've heard drones have a built in gps for tracking purposes. Maybe someone here can corroborate/dispute. Just have to find out where to get the information. Good luck! See you next week. Griff

@TenkaraAddict 4 жыл бұрын

For reasons that aren't terribly interesting, the drone flight log data (which has the GPS information in it) is incomplete, so it's not terribly helpful in locating the drone. Thanks for watching!

I noticed that you landed all the fish even in the fast water. From watching other videos of yours that is when you lose some fish. It might be coincidence or it might be the rod. You would have to decide that.
