Hello everyone from Russia! Happy New Year! For me, this is the second season of TENKARA. I liked to look for trout, to watch our rivers. This season I have made many friends around the world. Tenkara-unites people around the world! We have a short summer, waiting for summer fishing and new meetings on the river! Good luck to all!!!

Uhh, I enjoy the outdoors and tenkara mixed in with other pursuits helps me keep young.

I enjoy turning people on to tenkara.

I help others share there love of tenkara.

My favorite thing is when two people that don’t know each other meet and become friends because of me.

I’ll continue to do this as long as I’m able.

I don’t need the buff, I already have one. If I win one, let me decide who to send it too.

This year was very slow for me tenkara wise. I got out on one trip. I am hoping 2019 will have a little more tenkara action. Here is a video of me fishing in Akiyamago, Nagano, Japan in 2017 (a much better tenkara year for sure).

Strange but 2018 seemed to be an odd fishing year world wide. Where I live it was rainy all summer with high water level. No major flooding as happened in 2017, some of you may recall seeing on national news the picture of the house that was on fire as it floated down river, near White Sulphur Springs, about an hour drive south of where I spend most of the summer. Other places this year it was a dry year with low water. I believe I recall reading in England and Japan they often had low water.

Hot or cold weather I almost always have one of the - 10 Colors Tenkara neck gaitors/sun guard/“Buff’s” - in my pocket. I have two of them. Take Peder up on his offer for one the nine remaining ones he has and will ship to anyone that wants one of them. :smiley:

Happy 10 Colors Tenkara New Year to all.

Very generous Peder!
I wasnt able to do near as much tenkara as I would have liked to this year. I only made it to a wild stream twice this year, once on a trip to the smokies, and I learned that highly pressured wild trout are a different animal. I fished for several hours and only managed a small brown when I was really hoping for a native brookie. The second was on a hunting trip in Nebraska, where there was a wild population of brookies. This is what got me into tenkara to begin with, to have a effective fishing method that I could take in on a backpack hunt, and it worked flawlessly!


It’s good to be put in your place on occasion. I’ve also got to learn to cast in tighter overgrown areas!
I am most looking forward to a trip to the escalante area of utah in 2019, hoping to find a couple native cutthroats, as well as some of the awesome suckers out there. I also hope to focus a little more on catching buffalo on the fly. I’ve managed a couple smaller smallmouth buffalo so far. )

This was a tough year for me…my Father’s health deteriorated mid fishing season and well…I did not get on the water once after that. I am seriously Jonesing right now…I tend to be very “winter” adverse for fishing but given my lack of outings in 2018 I could use one.

I did get to Japan in February and met Go-san in person and got to fish with him. I also made a simple bamboo rod while there and caught a fish on it with a horse hair line and fly I made! I also got out on the water with @Gressak and I also traveled to PA to fish with JP who many of you might know from FB…and thinking back on those trips - one of the great things about fishing and the Tenkara community is the people you meet and the friendships you can create and the things you can learn.

In 2019, I hope to do other trips to connect with the community when possible and not only fish but “break bread” and have a drink in the woods!

Peder and this group has been very generous.

I will ship a tackytube to three people of the top 9 posts. The nine will be put into a raffle an picked randomly. For what we do its the perfect fly patch/flybox. Most of the time i never dig into my flybox. I just have one of these on my bag. Its such a great invention.

Thanks @Gressak! That’s very generous of you.

Come on people, this is free stuff. As you can see, all you need to do is write a few sentences and post a photo or two.

Thanks everyone who has shared. It seems like regardless how much we all love this, life happens to us all. Here’s to a happy and peaceful New Year.

I’m a quiet practitioner of tenkara… or was. I decided midyear that I shouldn’t say all that I was doing was tenkara…some of it was fixed-line trout fishing. I amended my activities and descriptions accordingly.
Why the change? The supremely knowledgeableTom Davis of Teton Tenkara recommended in a post here: Teton Tenkara: Czech nymphing, did you say? Here's the rod for you -- Daiwa Keiryu-X 33. to try Czech/Euro/Tactical Nymphing using the Daiwa Keiryu-X 33. I bought one, tried it…and am continuing to expand my skills in all things fixed line trouting with this rod and the Exori 8’/9’/10’ rod too. It has really expanded my horizons.
So many helpful, encouraging people in this little realm. Thank you all for reading, correcting and encouraging.

What does everyone think here? I was going to tally the votes tomorrow, but at the moment it’s irrelevant as everyone will get one of these. Should I extend it to give more people a chance?

Personally I would accept those who have posted and let them have one. Good luck to them.

As today is the deadline originally set in place and the fact we had fewer responses than I hoped, I am calling this as finished. There were a total of seven individuals that participated (others were not interested).

Congratulations to the following people! Please send me a PM with your postal address and I will dispatch these this week. I will leave the other part of the contest up to @Gressak to determine the winners.

Thanks everyone for sharing about your past year and/or hopes for this upcoming year. Here’s to wishing you peace, health, and good fishing.

There are two of these that remain as there were only 7 participants. The first two people (who were not winners here) that send me a PM with the name and postal address will get the last two!
