With How to Fish Tenkara, we answer all your questions about tenkara history, gear, techniques, and more. With Trips and Tricks, we swap fishing stories, share fly tying videos, and pass knowledge gained through on-the-water experience onto you. With programs like TROUtreach, we give back as active members of our community. At Tenkara Guides, we are your guides to everything tenkara.

$513,000 in Charitable Contributions!

Tenkara Guides helped Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain Area raise a record $513,000.00 in charitable contributions – in one night!

Ronald McDonald House Charities provides a home away from home that serves and sustains families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at area hospitals. This year, an estimated 1,700 families will stay at RMHC Intermountain in Salt Lake City. To raise funds, RMHC hosted their 25th Anniversary “Spirit of Children Gala” on April 13, 2013.

The annual Gala raises funds through auction of donated items. At this year’s Gala, Tenkara Guides partnered with TenkaraBum to donate a Guided Tenkara Fly Fishing Package – complete with rod, flies, custom furled line, and a half day on the water.

At Tenkara Guides, we are committed to contributing to our community, and are very proud to have contributed to this year’s Gala.
