Perhaps it's Time to Simplify

Recently I was down at Lake Vasona Park and came across some nice stream areas, they do have a nice big lake also.  At the time I only had my travel telescopic spinning outfit on me and I found that to be a bit difficulty to use in the streams, I was getting snagged on overhanging branches/shrubbery.  I definitely spent more time trying to recover my lines/lures then actually fishing.  Eventually, I gave up on the streams, after losing two spinners, and waited to fish again once I got to the main lake.

As I was going through all the effort I remembered that a friend of mine from work told me about a method of fishing that's simplistic, been very effective in streams and used for centuries in Japan, Tenkara fly fishing  He had recently purchased a rod from TenkaraUSA, the first official retailer in the US for this type of fishing.  It definitely perked my interest when he mentioned it because I do what to eventually learn and get into fly fishing.  After talking with him about it and going online to watch videos and look at different resources, I decided I was going to invest in one to get me started in fly fishing.
