There are a lot of folks who really go crazy for tenkara fishing. It is mostly suited for small waters and high mountain streams. I don't know how well suited it would be for a big tailwater like the Caney. I bet you could have a blast with a tenkara rod in the spring though, trout fishing on the stocked creeks on the Plateau like Charles and Mountain Creek or west of town on Tumbling Creek or Mill Creek. Those places would be perfect water for a tenkara rod within a couple hours of Nashville.
Tenkara has a small core of very devoted traditionalist anglers - kind of like the people who go crazy for bamboo flyrods.
