Many of you may already know about this gathering but I figure it wouldn’t hurt to give it a little publicity bump again. It has been two years since Daniel W. Galhardo of Tenkara USA made tenkara equipment readily available to American anglers. In that time tenkara has grown rapidly in popularity due to it’s effectiveness and simplicity. Around tenkara and TenkaraUSA a hard-core of group of enthusiastic tenkara practitioners and proponents has coalesced. So the time is right for first large-scale official tenkara gathering in the country – Tenkara Summit USA 2011. Tenkara USA is sponsoring this great event and according to the event webpage (www.tenkarausa.com/summit) planning is still ongoing. The plans may not be complete but it looks like they’ve already got a great group of presenters including:
It should be a great event. Sadly, I won’t be able to attend (it’s killing me) but I did have the opportunity to design the above poster for the event. If you’d like a poster, shirt, postcard or mug with the image just check out my Zazzle Store CastingAround Zazzle Store I always enjoy Roger Maves’ interviews on his Ask About Fly Fishing Internet Radio podcast. The latest is especially interesting to me – an interview with fly fisher and author Steve Schweitzer. Steve recently published the must-have book A Fly Fishing Guide to Rocky Mountain National Park (read my review here). The interview covers his book and many of the aspects of fishing the lakes and streams of the park, including when, where and how. Steve also discusses planning backcountry camping/fishing trips in the park’s more remote locations. Listen to it at the Ask About Fly Fishing website. Just a quick update, the story collection, Threatened Species by Jeff Vande Zande is now available as an eBook. I reviewed Jeff’s great story collection previously – you can find that review here. The electronic version is priced right at only $4.99 and it is available in several different formats; PDF, EPUB, Mobi(Kindle), Palm Reader, LIT(Microsoft Reader) and HTML.
It has been a while in the making – but it has finally happened. Rise Forms Magazine has gone live. Please go check it out. The first issue has poetry, fiction, narrative, a book review and artwork (and all with fly fishing at the heart). |
