"Perhaps it’s the grace of the tenkara rod, the tender flex that describes a nautilus curve ... a natural progression ... of rhythm and grace ...”
"... each sparkling fish you release is a bond to wildness ..."
"... Its quietness and simplicity lets nature whisper to you in a still, soft voice ...”

Mayfly hatch rise
Sunlight fades into shadow
River awakens
Snow and fly fall in silence
Fish leaps with grace and power
Line crumples, fish gone
