Tap Talk on Tenkara Fly Fishing
February 19 / Corvallis, Oregon
Want to learn about a Japanese style of fly fishing that uses only a rod, line, and fly to land fish and how it fits here in the PNW? Amanda Hoffner, also known as Lady Tenkara Bum on social media, is an international tenkara angler who recently moved from the east coast to the Willamette Valley. She has fished and caught trout with a tenkara rod in 30 states (including Oregon), and plans to continue to inspire and bring together anglers and outdoor enthusiasts to explore the art and traditions of tenkara and fixed line fishing. During this Tap Talk, Amanda will tie some recognizable tenkara flies and some variations of her own while talking about tenkara and how effective it can be in the PNW. Please feel free to bring your own vise (BYOV) and tie along with her as she will provide some materials and the knowledge. Common Fields generously donates 10% of proceeds from the day to the Marys River Watershed Council. https://mrwc.org/get-involved/events/
