History of the Tenkara
Tenkara in an ancestral technique of fly fishing which consists in using a rod and a line only. This technique is both simple and very efficient and it is really suitable to fishing in small rivers.
Tenkara has been practiced in Japan since the 8th century.
This word stands for the way a fly softly lands on the water (in Japanes «fallen from the sky»).
Used in past times by peasants to guarantee a meal based on fish, this type of fishing is still very popular there
Contrary to this technique, similar fishing techniques in Russia, Italy, North of Spain and mountainous parts of France have nearly disppeared.
For some years, Tenkara practice has been developing a lot in the USA but remains restricted in Europe.
