Tenkara fly fishing

Does anyone out there fish tenkara? I have been fishing tenkara
style for 3 years now and have never come across anyone else
that uses a tenkara rod with flies. I have caught many fish with
my tenkara rod, both freshwater and salterwater. It is one of
the purest styles of fly fishing using only a rod, line & fly.

I haven't tried it --YET ! I think it would be great walking
around golf course ponds. I keep a telescopic spinning rod in my
golf bag but am thinking a Tenkara outfit would be perfect for
my golf bag and neighborhood ponds. Any suggestions on equipment
, flies, etc. ?

I use it on every type of fishing I do. Lakes, bayous, rivers,
saltwater marsh and etc.. Just a fun way to fish and a challenge
to fight the fish one on one.

It is far more restrictive than regular fly fishing. Which is
why it's not generally used. But it does have it's place. For
example, I hiked Shenandoah NP a couple years ago and wish I'd
brought a Tenkara rod. Great for backpacking, hiking, fitting
into tight spaces, and working flies over a short (relatively)
stretch of water.
