Quoted By:
I've been looking into tenkara recently and it's hilarious to me that the two biggest sources of info in the west have almost completely opposite viewpoints on it.
>Tenkara USA:
>"The noble art of tenkara is a technique that the masters in Glorious Nippon use to catch trout in picturesque mountain streams. True tenkara uses only a single reverse-hackled wet fly, and those sullying its good name with filthy Western flies aren't actually practicing tenkara, but instead the inferior 'fixed-line fly fishing' technique."
>Tenkarabum:
>"Slap a Woolly Bugger on that sucker and drag bluegill out of a drainage ditch for all I care that One Fly shit is just something old Japanese people do to challenge themselves"
