Dr. Ishigaki said "I like this type of limitation". It's the idea beyond "simplicity". That is the exactly idea that Fly Fishing is so attractive me. One silly little rod, one little fuzzy fly and the connection between me and the fish. The game of tug of the war! It's a primitive MUSCLE WRESTLING! : )
Neat video. I have read about tenkara in the past and think it would be quite fun to try. The simple elegance of it is very calming and it really boils fishing down to the essential and minimal elements.
I think the Tenkara really has it potential for the alpine lovers. It's also relatively simple to kids. To me, it's not "betraying" to fly fishing, instead, it is just add another rod to the already obesely rod collection!
I am a biologist grew up with a fishing rod in my hands. I have been fortunate enough to embrace my love of art and science in my career. Most of my free time were well spent in the nature, either studying bird behavior or chasing variety of fish with fly rods. My favorite art medium is watercolors, I love the natural and spontaneous feel created by watercolor pigments. I am currently a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard University. Welcome to my website. Mark
