Tenkara USA is celebrating ten years of sharing tenkara. This milestone is a great excuse to get together with the growing tenkara community at a special Tenkara Summit this summer in Boulder, CO.
Tenkara is a Japanese style of fly-fishing that uses only a rod, line, and fly. The simplicity of
this fishing style means lighter, more packable gear and a low intimidation factor for
newcomers. The gear is quick to setup and many people catch a fish their first time out,
forever hooking them on a new activity.
Introducing tenkara outside to a new generation of anglers starts with the gear but leads to a
much larger impact. Daniel Galhardo, Tenkara USA’s founder and CEO shares that, “we are
most proud of the introductions made between people and their local rivers. Beyond
introducing a fishing style, the connection between people and the environment is most
rewarding.” With this connection comes respect and stewardship for rivers and fish. Tenkara
USA is a member of 1% for the Planet and contributes to other national and local
organizations, including cleaning up a favorite local fishing spot, Boulder Creek.
The Tenkara Summit will be held on July 27th, 2019 at the Millennium Hotel, with fishing
access in the backyard. It will be a celebration with the community including speakers, clinics,
fishing, and an evening of fly tying and music.
