Tenkara Angler chronicles the tenkara lifestyle. An annual publication, this is the 2025 edition. We hope you find this issue both informative and entertaining.

While the magazine features selections that cover a wide range of topics and interests, I was happy to see that the majority of the articles have a “Rockies and West” slant to them. With most of the Tenkara Angler editorial staff living east of the Mississippi, our online content has always had a bit of an unintentional Eastern bias.

So come along as we meander through New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, and California (before hopping on a flight to Switzerland) telling stories of native species, scenic adventures, and wonderful examples of community through the eyes of the anglers that experienced them.

There are also entries about flies, gear, digital art, and an opinion piece one may even deem controversial. Oh, and I just had to sneak in a piece about fishing in Appalachia, to make sure the East coast was represented too.

All in all, it’s a pretty well rounded issue that is certain to have an article you’ll want to bookmark to read again later.

Familiar and new contributors include: Brad Trumbo, Kevin Canfield, Nick Feller, Payton Skidmore, William Robichaud, Patrick Allred, Michael Agneta, Dennis Vander Houwen, Martin Montejano, Mike Garrison, John Vetterli, Don Lux, Amanda Hoffner, and Rachael Rosenstein.

This Premium edition prints on much higher quality paper when compared to the standard issue, creating a much more vibrant backdrop for the photography within.
