Maine Tenkara Guide

Maine Tenkara Guide Primarily used for mountain stream trout fishing, tenkara is one of the most popular methods of angling among fresh-water mountain anglers in Japan.

Praised for its simplicity, tenkara is the traditional Japanese form of fly-fishing that uses minimum equipment consisting of a rod, a line, and a fly (no reel). Unlike western fly-fishing, tenkara uses no reel and its light weight, elegantly simplistic design allows users to take a more minimalistic approach to fishing, spending less time setting up equipment and more time in the water. Dan Pierc

e is the owner and founder of Maine Tenkara Guide and the first registered Maine fishing guide to guide exclusively tenkara. Dan was introduced to the tenkara method of fly-fishing over 10 years ago and has been doing it exclusively for over 6 years primarily in the rivers and lakes of North Western Maine. He specializes in group and one on one instruction of tenkara techniques as well as on water guiding.
​
"Maine is my home state, where I guide and fish the waters for beautiful native brook trout, landlocked salmon, and smallmouth bass. I am passionate about teaching tenkara, and outside of guiding, my full-time job is as a counselor at a local middle school. When people asked at fly fishing shows where they could find a guide in Maine, I saw an opportunity and jumped on it! Tenkara is great for people who are new to the sport of fly fishing because there is a quick learning curve if you have someone knowledgeable with you. I specialize in instruction for both children and adults and would look forward to sharing tenkara with you."
