Zoom talk on Tenkara Oct. 20

When Tenkara fly-fishing was introduced in the United States in 2009, Morgan Lyle was one of the first American journalists to cover it. Click here to join the talk.

His 2019 book, Tenkara Today, chronicles the first decade of tenkara in the U.S., featuring in-depth interviews with leaders of the tenkara movement and straightforward instruction on when, where and how to fish with tenkara gear.

Morgan will discuss this style of fixed-line fly fishing Tuesday, Oct. 20, on a Zoom open to all anglers, hosted by Nutmeg TU.
