Tenkara fishing is best suited to freshwater, mountain streams and alpine lakes. It’s most effective for trout fishing and smaller fish species. In Australia, the Snowy Mountains and Tasmania offer the best Tenkara locations. Further afield, New Zealand is also a superb place to fly fish.It just happens that these destinations are also amazing places to hike. So next time you head out, take a Tenkara rod as well. Trust me; you’ll be everyone’s friend come dinnertime.
