Cool tree from which to fish and a shot that Marlon took at an angle (but almost looks like I am using the Yamame to hold me on a pretty good lean angle). This is the spot where we saw the snake, the bass and the trout. Next time I'll bring more flies!
If you have never tried tenkara, you may want to - this terrain was perfect for it. I would have never had the room for a back cast here. And even though these fish are physically small, in spirit they are monsters!
We went for a family hike today and I brought the Yamame Tenkara rod along. The hike was HOT HOT HOT but the kids were troopers! Stopped at several points to see what lived in the waters along this stretch of the Potomac River. Hooked up with mostly a few different species of sunfish, but did lose a bass and I did see some trout (that did not give me the time of day with the scud I presented). La even caught a fish! Marlon and I also saw a bronze snake hanging out in the water along a river bank - we are going to have to get better on our inland aquatic species identification (that's what happens when you transplant salty surfers inland...) - we will make the most of this and we will have lots of fun along the way!
