My Dad in law got me fishing very small streams with a worm and a spinning rod. You don't really cast, the stream is so small you just kind of swing your worm into a hole let it roll down.
That was really fun and I wanted to get into Fly fishing because I live near really good fly fishing and a lot of the rivers around are artificial lures only which makes the spinning rod and worm not work. So I bought a fly pole but it is really hard to fly fish with a fly pole and really small choked streams. So I would worm fish small streams and fly fish bigger streams. But I yearned to fish the small streams with flies.
Then I read this book called All Fisherman are liars by John Gierach.

In the book there is a chapter on Tenkara and the simplicity and how it is awesome for small streams. Then I youtubed tenkara and found some of Daniel Galhardo's videos and also some from Teton Tenkara that showed Tom Davis fishing some really small streams.
In under 24 hours I went from not even knowing Tenkara existed to being a super fanatic. A few weeks later I had my first rod and I have loved it ever since.
