Lady Tenkara Bum

ahoy!

This is an attempt to put into a single space my thoughts, ideas, and information on tenkara and fixed line fishing. On the drop down menu, you will find links to my blog, some kebari that inspires me, links to other podcasts and articles I have written or been a part of, affiliations I’ve made in the tenkara world, and my ETSY store.

I hope you find this forever “work-in-progress” website interesting and informative. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about myself or tenkara and any information you’d like me to write about. I plan to post more elaborate journal-style posts than I can on my social medias like Instagram and Facebook. As always, thank you for following along!

“There is an art in fishing tenkara. The way your body instinctively learns to cast the rod because second guessing often turns into flies lost in branches or missed targets on the water which frighten the fish…”

If you haven’t checked out my girlfriend’s photography, Rachael Rosenstein Nature Photography, then you should.

Rachael is the reason I was on the cover of Tenkara Angler.  She always travels with her DSLR camera and I am happy to say that she has taken some pretty neat pictures of me on the water.  Amazingly, we have already traveled to 14 states together since meeting just 15 months ago.

If you want a look through Rachael’s lens, she has her nature and bird photographs on sale here.  She frequently has fundraisers going on where she donated proceeds to an organization whenever you buy a print and her instagram is filled with her photographs as well.  She is easily my favorite hiking buddy and I cannot wait to explore more of the US and world with her. 

As she works as the Southern basin watershed manager as part of the Catawba Riverkeepers, she inspires me everyday to keep to a cleaner living and has increased my knowledge of conservation and care for the earth.  Enjoy some of her photographs now 😉

These are just a few of her photographs, but be prepared for more within my blogs and such.  If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or Rachael herself on her instagram or website.
