Tenkara Rod Fishing Adventures & #Vanlife

It's time for a new adventure here at Badger Tenkara. Time to fish with friends, explore new water, and share the journey as I go. Time to "live in a van down by the river" so I can be as close to the action as possible!

Matt Foley had it right!

HERE IS THE PLAN

I'm going "van life" - moved into my 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, and I'm going to travel the country fishing while living on the road. My focus for the "Expedition" will be on these three goals;
1 - Explore, refine, and document my personal Tenkara rod fishing style:
I want to push myself to develop a deep understanding of everything tenkara rod fishing can do, and how it works best for me. I'll use information and sources already available and synthesize that with my own personal experience. 
Getting on as many different kinds of water & species combinations as possible will be key, so I'll be moving around the country frequently.  
2 - Explore the Tenkara rod fishing community as a whole, and fish with as many people as possible:
I want to explore where, how, and why people are fishing tenkara rods. Every angler has a unique perspective - so I want to meet as many tenkara rod anglers as I can, in person, and fish with them. ​From well known "tenkara fishing personalities" to "average jane & joe" anglers, we'll explore anything people are doing with tenkara rods, and get a good look at the "State of Tenkara". There is a lot of experience out there and we have much to teach each other! 
3 - Share the journey:
​Fishing and Traveling is more fun when you share the experience, so I am going to share it with you. You can expect lots of blog posts, videos, essays, and pictures. I'll feature content about tenkara rod fishing on the existing "BT Blog" - this will include trip reports, rod & gear reviews, tactics, and training journals. The new "Expeditions" blog will soon explore van life, outdoor gear, and non-fishing adventures that I encounter along the way. 
I'm extremely excited to begin this adventure and share it with you all. Please make sure to subscribe to the BT Blog mailing list for additional information and updates (just to the right of the blog near the top). Look for posts to begin next week!
Catch you soon -
​Matt @ Badger

When you hit Idaho let me know. I know some fun streams and a few Ponds that depending on time of year are a blast to fish.
