General Meeting
April 4
Topic: One Flyfisher's Tenkara Journey with John Pelligrin John Pellegrin grew up in Southern California. After he retired in 2007 he moved to Folsom where he joined Granite Bay Fly Casters (GBF) to fulfill a lifelong desire to fly fish. He sampled all fishing venues and settled on mountain creeks, streams and rivers. He heard a talk by Daniel Galhardo of Tenkara USA at GBF in 2011 and decided that it directly applied to his fly fishing desires. By 2012 he had stopped using rod and reel and concentrated on fishing Tenkara. Phil started leading Tenkara fish outs and clinics from what he has learned. He attended the “Oni School” lead by Japan’s premier Tenkara fly fisher Masami Sakakibara. He has encouraged many others to try it and GBF currently has over 60 people with Tenkara rods and the interest keeps growing. Phil finds Tenkara to be a very rich approach to fly fishing with far more that can be learned and mastered than he originally imagined Fish on, Tim au Young Meeting Reminders
