My New Personal Best Trout?? (Tenkara Fly Fishing for Rainbow Trout)

MY NEW PERSONAL BEST TROUT ON THE TENKARA ROD!
Is this the biggest trout caught on tenkara on KZfaq? I have no idea because I don’t pay that much attention! But either way it was a fun day on the water.
Tenkara fly fishing is very annoying to me… your inability to cast like you would with the western style of fly fishing adds a new challenge to fishing for trout. However, some creeks just set up well for Tenkara fly fishing. This particular creek is small, has lots of fast water, and several deep holes allowing you to get up close and personal with some big trout.
In this video I worked pretty hard on a few nice trout before finally going toe to toe with a big rainbow trout. I was able to land the fish on the Tenkara rod and cemented my new personal best trout! I then went on to catch one other big trout on the Tenkara rod, which made the day that much better! Small creek fishing never gets old.
Unfortunately at the end of the day I hooked a nice trout and broke my Tenkara rod. I have no clue why it broke when it did, but this will be the end of the Tenkara videos for a while until I decide to get a replacement.
If you want to see more Tenkara fly fishing videos in the future let me know! Thanks for watching.

Yes, I would like to see it. It reminds me of a time when my people would cut our own poles to fish with, and they were usually between three and four feet when we were just kids. When we grew to our mid teens, they became around 6 to 8 feet. But you also took the short one because of the very thick brushy patches where only a very short pole will work and you basically slingshotted your fly out because there was no room for a good cast sometimes but even there you could haul out a 20 incher or better.

@isaacharmon9826 3 ай бұрын

I have the Dragontail Mizuchi and Hellbender, and if youre buying two rods that combo will cover this stream and a lot of others you've fished on this channel perfectly. Tristan from the TenkeraAddict channel has caught several trout in the 17-18ish inch range on the mizuchi in tiny creeks with 5x tippet with relative ease. The hellbender can handle fish much much larger and can be safely used with 3X tippet, and some even use 2X with it. Just my two cents, hope it helps.

@tonywalkingstick8883 3 ай бұрын

Great job with that tenkara pole. When it finally broke on the third fish I believe it already had stress fractures in it that aren't easy to see from catching the first two. But great catch, great video, and always tight lines.

Looks like a Nissin Zerosum rod :) It shouldn't break that easy but these rods are more sensible compared to a classical fly rod. If you target fish that size, you could find a better options at drangontailtenkara shop in US. Nice video by the way :)

Too Bad the rod snapped. angles probably had a lot to do with the failure, if you hit the rod on something It could weaken the rod. Unfortunately crap happens and rods break. With some of the pack rods, you could carry an extra for a backup even when you carry a conventional fly rod.
