I just looked up tenkara fishing. We used to a similar method with a telescoping FG fishing pole called a "Bream Buster" to slingshot a popping bug up under the creek side bushes fishing for bream, warmouth, bass, etc.  Definitely a fun way to catch fish.

Well I'm no expert! ,,,,,,but to present a dry fly to an under cut of a 4' wide stream on your hands and knees with very little room for a back cast doing it side armed is just the most awesome thing I ever did fishing! These rods are very different ! From what I ever used before!  Thanks ameturehour,,,,it really put life back into fishing  Jeff
