All items that are in stock, listed to the right, are in the USA and are not subject to tariffs or shipping delays. If you want premium trout rods, they're here now.
The Trip Reports section of my sister site, TenkaraBum.com is one of the more popular sections. It is a mishmash of what worked, what didn't and crazy ideas to try next time. I hope the Trip Reports will be as popular here. There won't be a new report every week, but I hope to add reports as frequently as time, weather and work requirements allow.

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.
Whatever you do, do it with finesse!
