You just gave me the confidence to try a little micro creek near my home . Its a runoff from a pond and goes into the woods . Not sure the creek always has water but there are pools in the woods that do . Just need a short , cheap rod for bow and arrow casting . Tiny bluegills , chub and the like . Anyways , really enjoy the channel , everybody else is always fishing a perfect stream in a perfect meadow , no trees , no problems , beautiful , boring ! Never know where your gonna be fishing , but for sure it won't be boring 😎👍👍

Yeah, it's usually way more fun to explore new water than it is to go to the sure-fire spot!

Quite a challenging stream - but thanks for sharing this adventure!

Hey Tristan. I’m in the northeast and that is what most of my streams look like that I fish. But, I pretty much couldn’t fish them without a wading staff. Have you ever thought about using one? I know it’s something else to carry but they are such a huge help climbing up and down the banks and boulders and it just drags behind you when not in use. When I’m climbing boulders I use it constantly to probe the lower boulders in front of me to climb down them. Just a thought. My second comment is I do really well with flies that have what is called a hot head. A Bright orange bead head or bright orange thread head. I think you tie your own flies so someday build up a nice bright orange thread head and see what happens. Great video!!

It's a special surprise to see it's a Tenkara Addict fishing post Saturday. Fun video, thanks Tristan.

Just the ticket with a great cup of coffee!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Those are some of the best and most exciting streams to fish because most people would pass them by. The fish are usually quite eager to strike at almost anything.

Ooh/myy/GOSH! That's paradise creek! 💖🤩

That is an unbelievably pretty creek!

Great video! I’m new to Tenkara but have been fly fishing, “western style”, for 50+ years. There are many small, boulder filled creeks in my area, Eastern Sierra, that I’m interested in exploring with my Dragontail Mizuchi. Looks like fun!

Beautiful spot. That would make my day. Solitude and nature. Thanks for posting. Your videos prompted me to purchase a Tenkara rod…I think the same one that you fished with in this video. Yet to try it out but hope to do so on a trip to South Dakota in June.

Nice! It's a good rod, and I think you'll enjoy it 👍

That creek looks a lot like some of the White Mountain streams I've fished, but there is a little more tannin in your creek. White Mountain streams often look like tapwater. And the fish are comparable sizes.

Great video. I fish creeks like this all the time. I use the original Tiny Tenkara rod and a small bead-head renegade fly. I don't have as much luck with drys.

Oh man, that last second hit at 7:42. I probably would have missed that fish because I would have pulled it and re-cast before then.

アメリカでのテンカラ釣りの動画をありがとうございます。 釣りづらいところに限って、魚はたくさんいますよね。 次の動画も楽しみにしております😃

Looks like the creeks i fish in Montana

It looks like the further up the creek you went the bigger the fish got. 🎣

Whenever I see you fishing that sort of water, I always hope that your walk back to the car after catching your last fish, was a lot easier than the way you got there.

I actually like the FoxFire but I think you can attribute those quick misses on the soft action. I seem to experience it a bit with mine compared to other rods.

You should have a vid on your tenkara flies..I very much enjoy your vids. Thank you.

I just tie and fish with whatever I feel like using 😁

It amazes me how you don't need a heavily weighted fly, like a bead head nymph to pull fish out, whereas so many people thinking Euro nymphing is the key to pulling fish but you always are pulling good numbers of fish.

@@TenkaraAddict I certainly fish weighted flies but your method of not fishing weighted flies seems to fall in line more with like the essence of fly fishing.

@Bneumanns124

I mean, weighted flies are meant for deep water (like 4+ feet). You don’t really need weight when you’re fishing water that’s on average 2-3 feet deep, especially if the water doesn’t have tons of conflicting or fast current.

Have you ever fished clear creek in lowman, Idaho? It’s off bear valley road? Me and buddy found a deep hole and were catching 9inch rainbows every cast. We drove for about 20-30 mins down the road until we came into a burnt forest with flowers everywhere. Super pretty but the creek access is a little rough

Why not throw in a little fishing with your boulder hopping. Back in my youthful days I fished many creeks like that in Montana, looking for the ONE that had never seen an artificial. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Old time classic fly fisher, got a new tenkara set last month. Looking forward to trying it out come spring. My favorite, lazy way to fish is dry fly or dry dropper in my float tube on Sierra lakes. Never been much of a river rat, but maybe tenkara will help. In my tube, what kind/size line to use? Can I do dry dropper rig? I have a Dragontail Shadowfire 365. Thanks - very much enjoy your videos.

Another month here in Yorkshire England before the rivers open up for brown trout. Closed from October 1 to March 15 where I am.

I do 👍 They all suck.

What size rod? 😀

Can't wait to receive my Foxfire rod... Is it ok to use the rod with a longer or shorter line (fly line / level line)? Or does it have to be the the same length?
