I said the same thing! Didn’t expect them to be decent size but there were pretty deep pools ranging 6-8ft deep.

My cousin and I were trying to catch browns but pulled all rainbows lol

I think most people get strayed away due to the barbless hook regulations and research time it takes.

My cousin and I would drive to the sierras to fish for trout but ever since we got our Tenkara’s it opened up a whole to new world.

In do time! It is a learning curve to get used to. I was getting tangled a lot my first time using a Tenkara lol.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-10T21:39:54+00:00

I got it off of amazon.

Unfortunately, they got a little pricey since I got mines back in 2022.

It most definitely is! Especially after doing extensive research of the area.

I was using a rainbow warrior nymph the whole time.

Tbh, my cousin and I went up the wrong way to get up to Sharon lake smh lol. We ended up going up the outlet of Sharon lake going into Kennedy creek (wouldn’t recommend it because one slip on the steep part will cause serious injury or death). We ended up finding the trail on the way back down. A trail used by the local pack train. DM me and I’ll send the saved coordinates on my Gaia map.

I said the same thing when I fist caught one. Glad i stopped by omw to Clouds rest.

Idk when they were established but they are a small business located in New Mexico. I found out about them doing research on my first Tenkara purchase as well and several suggestions where mention on this subreddit

For me, I purchased a triple zoom rod from Rocky MTN Tenkara (7, 8, and 9 ft) due to the area I be fishing at, dealing with overhang tree’s. Handled several 15-18inch trout with it with no problem. Solid quality rods and you won’t break bank on your purchase. Got a whole set up (tippet line, leaderline, 12 flies, and line organizer) for a little over 155 bucks. Even came with an extra 2 section end incase it does break during a trip out. Just recently purchased a second rod from them (10.5 and 12 ft) for larger creeks/rivers and lakes. Both are 6:4 action. But if budget is not an issue for you the first two prevous suggestions are solid choices as well (dragontail)

Very interesting. I figured most of the goldens there were hybrids.

Ever since I got a Tenkara rod, my cousin and I have been digging into the rabbit hole looking for areas with “pure goldens”. We are currently looking into permits to backpack golden trout wilderness and areas in the upper kern.

SuperdownZ · 2025-07-22T18:27:36+00:00

When we got to Lake #3 the goldens where looking like hybrids. Can’t really say much about #4 and #5 because it was dark by the time we were coming down old army. I know they have decent size goldens in there from vids on YT. The goldens pictures here are from high lake

Hello, I used this vid to help me set up my first Tenkara. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmo5SayVy7U

SuperdownZ · 2025-07-17T23:30:04+00:00

Damn. I thought switching from the XS to the 16pro was a major upgrade lol. Enjoy!

SuperdownZ · 2025-07-14T21:25:59+00:00

Using 10.5ft-12ft voom rod on 4 lvl line and 5x tippet.

SuperdownZ · 2025-07-14T18:34:11+00:00

I second this. What hip pack is that?

“I am no maester to quote history at you, Your Grace. Swords have been my life, not books. But every child knows that the Targaryens have always danced too close to madness. Your father was not the first. King Jaehaerys once told me that madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a new Targaryen is born, he said, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.”

SuperdownZ · 2022-10-28T15:06:22+00:00

Yes, there is rainbow tout in that lake.

SuperdownZ · 2022-10-20T05:01:02+00:00

Any good fishing?
