review (Tomahawk AIR-K 440)

Tenkara, Japanese fly fishing

Tenkara (天から), literally meaning “From Heaven” and is a minimalist Japanese form of fly fishing, without a reel, utilizing a telescopic rod, a fixed line, and an artificial fly. This form of fly fishing has been practiced in Japan for approximately 200 years for fishing with artificial flies on small rivers and streams. 

This method of fishing returns us to the easy basics: Rod – Line – Fly –> Fish 

I bought a Chinese set to try it out:

Tenkara rod : Goture Capella 12' / 7:3 (fast action)
ultralight 30T Carbon Fiber with AAA cork handle

length: 3,6 meter in 13 extendable sections

weight: 110 gr.

Fly casting

I had an introductory fly fishing lesson on Saturday morning from Leon Godijk, a certified fly casting instructor.

Via him I also purchased a complete alround fly fishing set: 100vliegen 

Consisting of: Fly rod, Fly reel, Fly line (with backing), leaderline and some flies, nymphs, streamers and buzzers.
