Craig Mathews of Blue Ribbon Flies shows off his die-hard chops!
Craig is responsible for my current tenkara addition. And while I love my tenkara fishing as much as the next guy, this is true dedication.
You will get to see more of Craig’s fishing escapades. He noted in a recent blog post:
I just received word our 13 part series on The World Fishing Network comes out this Sept. The first show will be Yvon Chouinard and I on Spring Creek. The show run 52 weeks, 6 times per week., with 13 different fishing venues I will keep you posted with information on other shows, where and when and more so stay tuned!
Will keep you posted.
Owl, Craig is one hardy dude! Read his blog for more of his adventures, http://www.blue-ribbon-flies.com/blog/
Those shows….that’s alot of fishing. Lucky dog. 🙂 Nice video, btw. Sure looks cold as heck, though. brrrrrr….
Craig has got the tenkara deal dialed in! Tenkara rods are very flexible at the tip so they protect the light tippet. As you see Craig moves that ‘bow to a place where he can land it carefully. In big water and with big fish I would have to use a net. I am not as skilled as Craig.
Wow… I never would have thought to take the Tenkara on such big water, given the chance that I might actually hit a big bruiser and watch as my Tenkara rod splintered… BUT… with no guides to ice up (duh!), I am beginning to think my Henry’s Fork trip in a few weeks will see the Tenkara in my back pocket. Why not, right?
