LadyTenkaraBum: Tenkara Amateur Hour

My name is Amanda hoffner and I am a girl with a lingering tenkara obsession. You can find me deep on a blue line in the Appalachian mountain range of the United States fishing for native brook trout or tying up a cute sakasa kebari.

Tenkara has taken me places all over the Eastern US these past few years and recently I have started getting involved in the tenkara community.  I was featured on the cover of #tenkaraangler 2021-22 Winter edition and have written several articles for them as well.  Other features include a blog of "my journey into tenkara" on the #TenkaraUSA website and some podcasts I did for #workingclassfishing and Tenkara Angler.

I have an Instagram account, @LadyTenkaraBum, which started my dive head first into tenkara community and the #fixedlinefreaks.  The more I realized that like minded people existed, I have wanted to teach and pass on knowledge I have obtained about fixed line fishing and tenkara.
