Fly fishing tenkara is a simple type of fishing practiced in Japan. Mainly used for trout fishing in mountain streams,
tenkara is one of the most popular angling methods among freshwater mountain fishers in Japan.
(according to historians. It was the difficulty of accessing the places where the fish was hiding that prompted the fishermen to clean up their equipment: a bamboo cane,
a horsehair yarn, a hook and a few feathers as flies.
Tenkara was born, requiring the fisherman a great knowledge of the fishy places and an agility to move stealthily so as not to alert the prey)
