Mid-June Nancy and I fished a couple evenings with Badger Tenkara guide Matt Sment on Sny Magill. The first evening was slow with only a few in the net. However, the second evening was much better with rainbows and brookies cooperating. Nancy also picked up a brown to give her a Tenkara Grand Slam. Nancy is sold on the Tenkara rod. I liked it as well, but will still keep my traditional fly rods in my arsenal with the addition of the Tenkara.
