Launched in April, 2009, Tenkara USA is the first and only company in the US dedicated to bringing the traditional method of Japanese fly-fishing, tenkara, to those in pursuit of a simpler and more effective way to fish small-streams with a fly. Tenkara USA will open the doors to many outdoor enthusiasts and backpackers who like the idea of fly-fishing but have always found western fly-fishing too complex or intimidating. Tenkara USA is a fully independent US-based company, founded and run by Daniel W. Galhardo, in San Francisco, CA. Tenkara USA is dedicated to small-stream conservation, and committed to the Planet through the 1% for the Planet intiative. Tenkara USA will donate at least 1% of its sales to the environment.
