Dear Fellow Fisherman, Are you ready for a new beautiful and fascinating journey to discover Tenkara? The term Tenkara refers to the ancient Japanese fly-fishing technique that originated to catch trout and char found in mountain streams in Japan.
So now, are you ready to begin this beautiful and fascinating new journey?.
But the most important thing will be that you will have a great time and look forward to going fishing again.
It will be as if you experienced them firsthand.
I will also describe the techniques I practiced before tenkara, and in each of them there is advice, a message that will help you improve.
By following the advice you will find in this book, you will become a good Tenkara fisherman in no time, even if you start from scratch and have never fished in your life, because I have tried to transfer all my experience into this book.
Thanks to this book you will know: The various techniques of fly fishingThe history of Tenkara and its philosophyLa Valsesiana, the centuries-old fly fishing technique of ValsesiaThe choice of the rod and all its componentsHow to prepare the line and cast the fly into the waterAquatic and terrestrial insects useful for fly fishingHow to approach the watercourse in the right way for profitable fishingTips for self-building rods and fliesThe various tricks for not being seen by fish and catching them I am sure you will be passionate about this fascinating technique, just as I was.
Fishermen handed down from father to son the secrets that experience had taught them, and I want to do the same thing with this book, to pass on to you everything I know, so that these ancient secrets, are available and usable for you as well.
The philosophy of Tenkara preserves and honors many of the values and skills that the mountain professionals, such as the Shokuryoshi, Kijishi, and Matagi, had.
But to refer to Tenkara only as a simple and trivial fly-fishing technique would be very reductive and wrong.
It was not until the 1960s that Tenkara began to become a pastime.
It was not practiced for sport or pastime as we do in our time, but was a survival fishery that served to feed villagers.
