How to Get Your Flies Out of Trees
You may want to give this a try next time you hang up your fly in a tree. One thing NEVER EVER EVER do is to reef back on your tenkara rod until something breaks. If you do, something will break - it may be your tippet, it may be your rod.
When all else fails, collapse your rod, pull directly on your line. It only takes a few seconds to collapse your rod, and it can save you from having to stop fishing because of a broken rod.
