Scandinavian tenkara fishing.

It is quite interesting to read about this way of fishing with a fixed line length. It was a practised method of angling with a fly here in Sweden for hundreds of years. Some people suggest it was brought here by the Wallon iron workers, others believe that the vikings brought it home from Macedonia and then taught the people in Brittany and Europe how to fish that way. I know naathing, but it is nice to think about it. The history of the wingless wet goes way back and most of it is lost, because nobody was able to write it down, or did not find it important to write about. Or there was maybe a major server crash way back in the centuries long gone...
