Zen Tenkara Traditional Tenkara Flies

The first tenkara anglers around two to three hundred years ago were professional fishermen who either fed their own families with their catch or sold it in some cases. The equipment of the original tenkara professional fishermen was simple: rods made of bamboo, lines made of twisted horsehair, the simplest artificial flies made of natural materials. Tenkara is usually fished only in the upper reaches of a river, where the water surface is not too large and small pockets form between the stones. During fishing the rod is held so steeply that only the leader and the fly touch the water surface. By short fast casts the fly can be held precisely in the different pockets of the stream, exactly where the salmonids are waiting for insects. Tenkara is an exciting fishery where the experience of nature is paramount.

To fully enjoy this experience and the traditional way of fishing, the Zen Tenkara fly set is perfect. It is 12 ingenious Zen Tenkara Traditional Tenkara Flies that are waiting to be used.
