Insane mayfly hatch & big Snake River Cutthroat
Here's the first of three fishing segments I will have from the Idaho / Wyoming Tenkara Campout.
In this video, we fish for big Snake River cutthroat trout in relatively small water. I had fished this creek two days earlier and was eager to come back with a different rod and practice fighting these fish that are a size or two larger than what I find in similar waters near my home in SoCal. I made some landing mistakes and lost two good ones, but finally landed one when we happened into a crazy hatch of Gray Drake mayflies.

Teton Tenkara (aka Tom Davis) Interview
It was a great pleasure to finally meet Tom Davis of Teton Tenkara at the Wyoming / Idaho Tenkara Campout event. I've been watching Tom's videos for years, and his rod reviews have steered many a rod purchase decision. This interview dives deep into everything from his roots, to his continuing contributions to the community. We also end up mentioning many of the titans of Tenkara in the West (Chris Stewart, Daniel Galhardo, Jason Klass, Paul Gaskell & John Pearson). A true leader in the space, Tom is thoughtful, experienced and well spoken. Settle in and enjoy!
