That was a roach!
日本で私もテンカラ釣りしています。
こういう場所で釣るのもいいですね👍
Love it - great way to fish. So minimal
Me too. It’s the simplicity that attracted me to fishing. I wouldn’t be interested in sitting on a bank and fishing one spot. I want to move and go hunting for fish. The trill of the chase 👍🏻
Enjoyed the video, I am an avid tenkara fisherman and used to live in Prior Park Cottages which I think is very close to where you were fishing. I live in Christchurch but the Avon and Stour are both like chocolate in full flood and unfortunately we have no canal nearby.
Yes very close to Prior Park Cottages, the locks just off horseshoe walk. All the brooks and streams are the same round here also. Last time I fished on the Midford brook was about 2 weeks ago and I didn’t catch anything. So for now it’s the canal. I’m not a fan of still water fishing but it’s better than not fishing. Let’s hope we get a run of dry weather before the end of December so we can get in for the last of the grayling season.
Nice. I'm also a tenkara enthusiast recently moved to near Taunton. Already exploring the Bridgewater to Taunton canal and the river Tone. Lots of great water for chub, roach and perch
Great stuff. It’s nice to talk to a fellow tenkara enthusiasts here in the U.K. Let me know how you get on. Have you ever fished the drains on the Somerset levels. It’s something I’m looking at exploring possibly in the new year. 👍🏻
@@tenkarafanatic yes, I've had a few sessions on the levels. Very productive pike on fly. Not tried tenkara on the drains yet but I hear there are some very good roach, rudd and perch spots
@@PeterFinnis thanks Peter. First chance I get I’ll have to give it a go.
@@tenkarafanatic Sure thing. Keep in touch and we may be able to meet up sometime. I'm on Instagram and FB
@@PeterFinnis sounds like a plan. I’m on Instagram too. Link is in the description. Is your insta the same as on youtube?
Hi, just learning about Tenkara before I start buying. Please could you explain about the line you’re using, line, leader, tippet, is that correct? And is it a specific Tenkara line? Do you have a link to your landing net. Many thanks.
So there are a few different types of line used for tenkara. Furled lines, probably the best line to start with as it’s easy to see and casts easily, it’s what I started with. Then you have fluorocarbon level level line, which is basically a heavy gauge fishing line that’s a bright colour and relatively easy to see depending on the light conditions. There are several other lines but if your starting out I’d just start with these. There are many places you can buy these lines. Just google tenkara line and Sotho h in your country will come up.
Here is a link to the handy pak net www.handypaknetco.com. It’s also available on Amazon and eBay I believe.
Hope this helps

Thank you so much for all the information, very kind.
Tenkara is basically like fishing a whip for beginners but with a fly ?
To be honest I wouldn’t know what a whip was. I’ve only ever tenkara fished. I like the simplicity of the method. I like to keep it simple. I like to be in the water also. Not really interested in sitting on the bank. I like the idea of having everything I need to fish in my shirt pocket and a compact rod. It’s a take anywhere system no big kit bags or baits to worry about. Just the rod a line or two some tippet and a hand full of flies. Simple. Easy. 👍🏻
@@tenkarafanatic yes pretty much same as a whip
How do you decide when to use a furled leader or a level line leader?
I just go with the level line 99% of the time. Just my preference
Hey. Did u need a license for that area? Just curious😁
So I was fishing on the Kenner and Avon canal. The fishing rights to that stretch is owned by Batheaston angling association and cost about £45 a year if I remember correctly. I’m not sure where you’re from but here in the UK or fishing is more or less private and you have to get permission from The club or person who owns the fishing rights most fishing rice are owned by fishing clubs therefore you have to pay a fee to join that club these fees can very quite a lot. In the past I’ve paid over £500 to £600 a year just for club fees. This year I haven’t joined any clubs as I have not time at present but hope to do some fishing while traveling in Africa in June 🤞🏼 will hopefully post a vid if I catch fish
Thanks a lot. I've since learnt about how the clubs work. And yeah I was guessing it's easy to get carried away with memberships in order to explore. Maybe a controversial question but if we have to pay for a fishing licence. Why do we then have to pay to fish? 🧐. I mean I get it but it kind of sucks.
Any idea what landing net that is?

@@tenkarafanatic thanks dude 👍
Are you new to fishing?? Not to be rude but your striking them little fish like there large mouth bass and you also thought a roch was a bream.
Yep. I mostly fish for trout. So if it’s not a trout then I have very little idea. I do try my best to identify them but as you can see I’m not the best.
@@tenkarafanatic ah I see it 👍
