One of the newest approaches to fly fishing uses the Tenkara rod. It was developed out of necessity in the ancient mountains of Japan and it is so simple because it uses no reel, just a long pole, a light line and a fly. The Tenkara rod telescopes down to less than 20 inches long and it is perfect for the over grown mountain streams like the Blue Ridge Mountains. However, it does not end there as it is can also be used for high stickin deep pools. We at Troutprostore have created a class in the beginner series of classes. The purpose of the class is to introduce the Tenkara rod to those unfamiliar with it. Many anglers who were reluctant to change their habits have already learned to love the Tenkara rod and combined with its popularity among the lady anglers it has become a fast growing field. A Tenkara rod and the line can be purchased economically from the Troutptostore.
Also, note that the Troutprostore has classes at the beginner level all the way up to and through the advanced level of fly fishing. You are sure to find something of interest there, so please feel free to check them out at your leisure.
