Many of our local streams received hatchery support during the first week of March.  That can mean some sizeable fish to test the limits of any tenkara anglers fish-fighting skills.  One of the coolest things about tenkara angling, as compared to western style fly fishing,  is that it turns what used to be tug-of-war into much more of a chess match.  If you hope to get of photo of a fish like this 17″ Rainbow, you will have to plan, think, move and develop a good feel for the fish and your equipment.   That’s way more fun and rewarding than just winching them in!
