Basics and Fundamentals

Filmed on picturesque British upland streams and presented by the UK's first certified Tenkara Guides - Paul Gaskell and John Pearson - this volume demonstrates key elements of the method that is "Japanese tenkara" - its history, philosophy, equipment and flies. Tenkara's simplicity brings with it both familiar and unfamiliar concepts that will be of use to all fly fishers.

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.
