The Ovens basin has the Ovens River, Buckland River and countless creeks, all holding Browns and Bows… [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/djwuM2oYrkY/maxresdefault.jpg "Wombats and wasabi ep 10: Tenkara in the Ovens basin catchment ( テンカラ ) ( ウォンバット と わさび )") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djwuM2oYrkY&t=62s) ---

Thanks very much! Sometimes I find myself bow casting instead of proper casting, as I get so used to doing bow casting on some rivers and creeks… ---

Thanks very much, Tom! It’s a lovely part of the world, and I hope to explore more of the smaller creeks there over the years to come. ---

Some of those strikes were pretty far out. What length line were you using? Beautiful looking country, I would love to go tenkara-ing in New Zealand some day. ---

Hello Isaac/Fallfish, With the Confluence rod (which is a two-length rod, 10.5 feet and 12 feet), I was using a 12 feet long level line and almost three feet of tippet, split into halves for my hopper and dropper. With the Watershed 300Z (which is another two-length rod, 8 feet 10 and 10 feet 2), I was using an 8 feet long level line again almost three feet of tippet, split into halves for my hopper and dropper.
