Tenkara fishing in the Dolomites
Delve into the traditional Japanese technique of Tenkara on our unique fishing expedition through the tranquil creeks of the Dolomites. Celebrated for its simplicity, Tenkara eliminates the need for a reel and focuses on using small dry flies or emergents to expertly lure fish. This method is perfect for the clear, flowing waters of this region, offering a peaceful yet effective fishing experience.
Our adventure begins as our guide selects the most promising locations based on the day's water and weather conditions. Whether you are new to Tenkara or looking to hone your skills, this expedition provides an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in this noble art, under the guidance of an expert.
Our day will start with four hours of morning fishing, followed by a lunch break amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Dolomites, where we can relax and enjoy the natural beauty around us. After lunch, the adventure continues into the afternoon, giving us ample time to practice our Tenkara technique and perhaps land the prize brown trout.
