You were missed, glad your back. Always enjoy your candid commentary and steady videos. You show what we want to see & always carefully handle the fish. I like the fact you don’t imply you “know it all”. You are like most of us using a tenkara rod, we are enjoying the journey. Thanks

Wish I was knee deep in a cold , clear , Colorado mountain stream ! But no , I'm roasting here in Texas , glued to my chair in front of the AC . Can't wait for it to cool off a little . Hope you found the rods ! Another awesome stream with nice fish , all to yourself 😎👍👍

@@TenkaraAddict I'm glad that you found the other rods! I have to say thanks again. I bought this rod (in brown) based on your recommendation in a previous video. Although I haven't trout fished with it yet, I've had a blast with it as I've probably caught over 1,000 fish warmwater already with it in less than 6 months. I was curious about the 12' version and thought about buying one for bigger water/fish, so I'm probably not going to get it since you didn't sound very excited about it. I'll research other brands for a bigger rod for less than $100. I'll check out your reviews but would be interested in your recommendation based on what you know today. Thanks in advance for that, for the original recommendation, and for your videos!

What a delightful creek! It is always encouraging to see such healthy fish - especially wild rainbows in Colorado, considering how whirling disease so reduced their wild stocks back in the mid-1990’s. I wonder if those may have been descendants of Hofer strain rainbows that Colorado Parks & Wildlife was working with to introduce greater disease resistance.

Hi I am from Sweden and wants to get a Tenkara Rod. There are not many for sale here yet but I have found two and would like some advice. For information, I have been fishing for over fifty years. Many of them flyfishing. And I love these small creeks and would love to fish them with Tenkara gear. The two rods I have seen is Zen Tenkara Zako Rod 12 feet, and Zen Tenkara Tri-zoom Rod 7'7, 9'3 and 10'8. Both have 6:4 action. Do you have any experience from those rods, or heard about them? Best regards Nils-Olof Nilsson

In the process of moving to Colorado. Looking forward to som small stream tenkara as well as th south platte. What is the level line length you mose frequently use?

@TenkaraAddict Жыл бұрын

Depends entirely on what length rod I'm using. I fish a line that's the same length as whatever rod I'm using. And I'd say I fish mostly 11 ft rods, so I guess 11 ft is the size of line I use most.

Are the brookies skinny because they don't have enough of their preferred prey? Rainbows are more than happy to subsist on insects but the brookies are determined to hunt fish and there just aren't enough prey fish for them. Just a theory.

They look like "cutbows" to me. Pretty common all over Colorado. In fact I caught a few myself earlier today (in the San Juans) along with some "full blood" rainbows and cutthroats, and some nice browns.

@Willburden Жыл бұрын

Char (brook trout) and rainbow don’t really interbreed. Cuts are closely related to rainbows.
