In Episode 16 of the Tenkara Angler Level Line Podcast Anthony Naples talked with Jonathan Antunez about his style of active wet fly fishing that is inspired in part by H.C. Cutcliffe and other anglers of bygone eras but which is being given new life by utilizing modern state-of-the-art fixed line tenkara rods.
