Has anyone had any positive experiences of using Tenkara kit on our local rivers?
I was walking along the upper Ythan at Gight last year, and one of the small pools was chock full of small (under 1lb) brown trout rising to the hatch in the afternoon sun.
Given the small width of the river there, and limited casting space, this environment seems perfect for a Tenkara outfit. I don't think there's much risk of catching a heavy fish that would challenge/damage the gear(!)
The main limitation I can see is the lack of tackle shops who stock the necessary equipment, and the relatively high initial cost of what could be an expensive attic-filler.
