Tenkara Fly Fishing
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.
