As far as I know, I was the first person to ever create tenkara-specific memes. I started years ago and kind of trailed off but decided it was time to create a new batch. So here are 17 new ones I just made. I hope at least one of them puts a smile on your…
Here’s my latest batch of tenkara memes. Feel free to share the individual images, but please be cool and give me credit. To see all of my previous tenkara memes, click here. And if you’ve made some of your own memes, please post them in the comments section below.
While it’s OK to take tenkara seriously, sometimes we just have to step back and be able to laugh at ourselves. Here’s my 6th in my series of tenkara memes. To see all of them, click here. Enjoy and if you share any of them (as with any of my content) please be cool and…
I don’t know about you, but right now I’m in fishing limbo. The few days I do get off from work are consumed by life obligations and even if I could get out, my local streams are iced over–with only narrow slots of open water lined with desperate anglers competing to get a drift without…
A few weeks ago, I went fishing with my good friend Dennis Vander Houwen. Neither of us had been out in a while so we were really looking forward to a much-needed day on the water. Everything started off fine–we were in good spirits, the weather was good for February–all indications pointed to smooth sailing and…
With all the snow and cold weather, cabin fever is taking its toll–driving me slightly mad you could say. So I felt compelled to put together another set of tenkara memes. This is the fourth one. You can see past ones here, here, and here. Enjoy! …
As whimsically as I’d like to portray tenkara, sometimes, you just get stuck in the trees. For more tenkara humor, click here.
It might not be accurate to call it a “non-tenkara” day. It might be better described as “the opposite of tenkara” or even “Bizarro World“. With all the local streams totally blown out, I decided to try to sneak in a quick fishing opportunity on a nearby lake. My family and I were planning to…
1. Trophy Shots You know the ones I’m talking about. The angler is extending their arms, holding the fish as close as possible to the camera to make it look twice as big as it really is. It’s even worse when combined with a fish-eye lens. Flyfishing is not an extreme sport. If you need…
It’s time for a third round of tenkara memes. In case you missed them, the first one was here and the second one was here. Just having a little fun and hope you get a chuckle out of them.
Tenkara angler and magician Dennis Vander Houwen swung by the Tenkara Talk headquarters today (OK, technically my basement but “headquarters” just sounds so much more official) and wielded a little tenkara-related magic. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to attach your sakasa kebari to your tippet without tying a knot, watch the video!
Most people probably know Mike Agneta as the author of the wildly popular Troutrageous blog. But very few know that he is also one of the world’s preeminent authorities on Tenkara Sasquatch–an elusive bigfoot-like hominid thought to inhabit remote mountain areas and sustain itself by tenkara fishing. I wanted to know more about this fascinating…
It happens everyday. A perfectly good fly is mercilessly mutilated by trimming down its hackle, leaving nothing but horrific, ungodly stumps of barbules. These poor victims are scarred for life and nothing can reintegrate them back into mainstream fly box culture. They become the “untouchables” of their fly box compartments. You might think hackle clipping…
You might have seen my video about S**t tenkara anglers say. But here are a few things they never say… 1. Damn it! I forgot my reel! 2. I stepped on my line right as I was about to make the perfect cast! 3. I hope I have enough backing. 4. Do you wind left…
