In a way, it’s hard to believe it’s been two years since we went live with the website and made this thing official. Over the past year...

We love chasing trout species in the mountains. The natural beauty that we get to experience in this type of setting seems to go hand in hand with tenkara.

With the roots of tenkara embedded in fishing for trout and char in the mountain streams of Japan, the style is tailored and developed to fish those types of waters. Oftentimes, with a relatively steep gradient, the water flowing down becomes more turbulent as it comes in contact with structure such as rocks or log jams. This causes more complex currents than one would generally find on sections of a river closer to the ocean where it’s wide and featureless.
