Tenkara Fishing - 2016 Season

Shenandoah National Park




 The Big Meadow



The Rapidan River brookie





Camping and fishing in Shenandoah National Park was the highlight of this season.






The Croton Watershed



 My wife caught this big one in one of the pools. She got some more of similar sizes.



Fishing was productive this summer until the end of August when the water temperature of the West Branch was unusually warm.  I caught this rainbow in the East Branch.



The Catskills




We went to the Catskills on Labor Day weekend. In Hale Eddy of the West Branch Delaware, we both hooked large ones of West Branch standard at the same spot of the rapid, but both tippets were broken in a moment. .

I bought 4X tippet the next morning at The Fly Shop in Roscoe, but I got no chance to go back to Hale Eddy.



The Farmington River in Connecticut



  She caught a brookie in the Upper Farmington River.
 I have tried several times, but I haven't caught one.




She caught a beautiful brownie with a hooked jaw in the Beaver Pool.
