2015 Tenkara USA Summit


The hall where the Summit was presented is an excellent venue

A few snaps before the summit begins

Tables all around for individual presentations, demonstrations and private instruction

I am grateful Daniel brought Fujioka-san to the Summit. I've known him for 18 years at the time.

Steve Conrad took me fishing in many cool places

He is a super angler, I dig fishing with him

We caught fish where ever we went

This was a long hike fishing a stream on the way to Steve's home in Nederland
