Pretty footage. Annoying music. Bull**** commentary. "Traditional"
Japanese fly fishing became popular with professional fishermen a
hundred years ago? A hundred years ago is traditional? A hundred
years ago professional fishermen (in Japan as elsewhere, one would
naturally suppose) were using large nets, explosives, poisons,
trawlers and whatever else might maximize yields. Casting across a
thirty foot stream is impossible with a 7 1/2 foot fly rod? Oh,
puhleeze! Took a couple of seasons to learn how to cast with a fixed
rod and line length? Well, best not even try to learn how to use a
reel and variable line length! Fits in your pocket? Rats.....I ain't
got any that are twenty inches deep.
Looks like fun, though.

who, if the prominently displayed index finger on the grip is
required, ala lifted pinky with teacup, nevertheless hopes to god that
he is never caught in the act and thus will probably confine his
tenkara expeditions to nighttime fishing ventures.
