Tenkara Fishing in Branson Mo
Tenkara fishing is a Japanese style of fishing that uses just a long rod and a line attached to it, in
Tenkara fishing there is no reel used. In this style of fishing the range or distance you can cover
or fish is determined by the length of your rod and the line attached to it. Much like fly fishing
for smaller streams and shorter distances shorter rods and shorter lines attached to the rod. On
the other extreme for bigger rivers, streams, ponds and even lakes longer Tenkara Rods will be
used with even longer lines attached to them. Tenkara rods in the range of 8 to 14 foot are
currently the being used and the line attached to them is typically 1 to 2 times the length of the
Tenkara Rod. So for instance if you have a 12’ Tenkara rod and Have 18’ of line and leader you
would have be able to fish in a range or distance of 30’ (12'+18’=30’). Another advantage to the
Tenkara style of fishing is the portability of it; a 14’ rod can be collapsed to under 2’ for packing
and such.
Tenkara fishing is well suited to catch trout up to 17” or so, the issues with hooking bigger fish
is there is no reserve of line so if a bigger fish takes off on a run unless you are able to keep up
to keep up with it it will break you off once it reaches the end of your rod plus line limitation.I
have found the Tenkara style to be really well suited for the inexperienced and beginning
angler. However it is exciting and challenging enough for the experienced angler also.Tenkara
fishing is typically done with a Tenkara fly which is basically a reversed soft hackle fly but we are
most successful with the standard lake Taneycomo fly’s such as scuds, midges and streamers.
