I don’t know about you but I love exploring new areas and
going places that are off the beaten path.
Maybe that’s why I love learning piano music that isn’t the most popular
or why I love kayak fishing so much.
Because I get to share amazing music that isn’t common and search waters
that don’t see much of any pressure. One
thing I’m hoping to do a little more this year is hiking. It’s a fantastic way to get outside and get
some exercise! Plus you can find some
really amazing creeks and small waterways.
Most are too small for the kayak but can hold some fun little fish to
catch. Obviously it’s hard for me to
just hike on by and not get the urge to see what I can catch. That’s why I want to try tenkara fishing!
Have you heard of tenkara fishing before? It’s very similar to fly fishing except even
more minimalistic. There’s no reel and the
line is connected to the tip of the rod.
Plus, some of the rods are collapsible.
Perfect for hiking! One of my
friends, Anthony Larson, from
Coulee Region Adventures told me about tenkara
fishing and suggest taking a look at
Badger Tenkara rods. I really like the features but haven’t
pulled the trigger on one yet. Then last
year my buddy Israel Dunn from
Shoreboundhero.com was using his
Badger Tenkara
rod on one of our outings. He showed me
some more of their features I think I found my next rod. They are collapsible, lightweight, flexible,
and perfect for those small streams I’m hoping to find when hiking this
year. Hopefully I’ll be able to show
some pics of me hiking and catching some fish with one this summer!
Do you enjoy hiking? What about fishing? Would you combine the two? Have you ever tried Tenkara Fishing? Let me know it the comments, I’d love to hear
from you!
