This 1 hour presentation is an introduction to Tenkara - fixed line Japanese
fly fishing. It includes a history of both western and Japanese fixed line fly
fishing, Tenkara flies, rods and lines. He will bring examples of the equipment
for the audience to try out if they desire. Michael Hackney, aka The
Eclectic Angler, is a reelsmith, angling historian, technologist, and author.
His ground-breaking book, The Reelsmith's Primer - The Art of
Hand-crafting Fly Fishing Reels, has inspired thousands of anglers from around
the world to build their first fly reel. He is a life member of Trout Unlimited
and resides in central Massachusetts near his home waters, the Squannacook and
Nissitissit Rivers. Michael's clarity, passion, and expertise is instructive,
contagious, and entertaining.
Michael will also talk about how he developed a completely 3D printed fly
fishing reel with a click check. His first 3D printed reel is part of the
permanent display at the American Museum of Fly Fishing.
Event is free and open to the public.
