Simple Fly Fishing 10ft 6in Kit

The Temple Fork Outfitters tenkara rod included in the Patagonia Simple Fly Fishing 10ft 6in Kit has a medium-fast action and a versatile length that works great in a variety of situations and is ideal for wet fly fishing. The beauty of tenkara fishing is in its back-to-basics simplicity and ease of delicate, well-laced presentations; there is no need to worry about a reel or tons of equipment. Everything you need to get out on the water catching fish is right here. 

In addition to the rod, the kit includes floating tenkara line, leader, a dozen soft-hackle flies, quick setup guide, storage bag, spare rod parts, and the book and video. The acclaimed book, Simple Fly Fishing: Techniques for Tenkara and Rod and Reel, by Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard and noted fly fishermen Mauro Mazzo and Craig Matthews, provides a great deal of advice for fishing with dry flies, nymphs, and wet flies and streamers. It focuses on a wide variety of waters, from fast-moving rivers to alpine lakes and features many detailed drawings, photographs, and anecdotes from many years spent on the river.
