Tenkara -- October 1, 2014

I fished a small mountain stream this past week that had gin clear water and numerous small rainbow trout. The largest rainbow was 10 inches, but many had fat bellies and all were very energetic.





The air was crisp at 54 degrees F; the water was 48 degrees F. There was new snow on the hill tops and the leaves were changing color, into their autumn splendor.  Best of all, I was the only one on the water.






All in all, it was a great outing. This was new water to me and I'd say it was pretty successful. I'll be back next year; it was that fun.





Here is a short video of the trip:

  1. Very nice video! I can't believe you already have snow. Living in a country where trout fishing in streams closes mid september it's a pleasure to watch tenkara videos from overseas.
