I tend to spend a lot of time on the water with folks who are new to tenkara and/or new to fly fishing altogether.  I love it and I love the thrill of introducing people to the wonderful world of tenkara fly fishing.  Every now and then though, I get to fish with somebody who is both practiced and skilled at tenkara. That’s fun of a different kind.  Such was the case the other day when I basically served as “Fish Scooper”  for the skilled tenkara veteran pictured above.  All I had to do was not mess up when it came time for the net.  Thankfully I didn’t when this beauty came to hand!
