The old repo - slated for deletion

Fallfish Tenkara

This site has been a labor of love spanning six plus years. I am migrating from a Wordpress, Cloudflare, Digital Ocean deploy into the Jamstack via Gatsby and TailwindCSS. I started this project September 2020... More to come.

Amago Post October 2015

Accidentally deleted the photos from the S3 bucket and re-uploaded them. So, the URLs will need to be fixed. Has not propagated yet probably because AWS has them cached...

When typing in a search query on the archive page an error is returned in localhost and nothing happens on the live site.

Please see this thread for solution... Just have not had the time to address the issue

Comments for Japan Fishing Show blog post

I am currently trying to figure out a comment solution for the blog. (leaning towards Staticman if I can sort out a pesky bug I am unable to solve.) I would like to add the following comments as they were from David, an active member of the tenkara community who passed away recently.

[Hey Issac, I just noticed you have a picture with Mr. Hosoyama Chōji [細山長司さん]. I first became aware of him when someone posted, in 2010 I think, a link to him fishing in British Columbia. Which at the time some people confused with Tenkara fishing. I believe he passed away not long after the fishing show, in May 2017. But I did not know he was also a tenkara angler until I recently found an interview of him on the nepenthes website. He modified a hae rod for his tenkara rod, and liked white caterpillar kebari. Just wondering if you discussed his tenkara fishing?

[David - I did not get a chance to stop and talk with him. He had already been stopped by a few people and you could tell he needed to be somewhere, still he was very polite. I am sad to hear that he has passed away, he was one of the great Japanese anglers. Thanks for sharing the information you found about him. I had never heard of the white caterpillar kebri until now. Some more research is needed to determine ingredients so I can tie my own Chōji-san caterpillar kebari.

Oh man, A missed opportunity. I still regret not going to the Winston-Salem FF show three years ago. It was only another 80 minute drive to see a friend I served on a submarine with for 4 years, and we remained friends for the next 36 years. I knew he was ill, two months later and after more than a month getting no replies to emails I called him. Only to have his brother answer his cell phone & discover he had passed away a month earlier. Another is Mr Peal. Father of a high school classmate. Highly decorated Higgins boat driver in Europe during WW2. Which had enough pull to get his son, into the Naval Academy, and a granddaughter there now. I had been thinking of going to see him for a couple of years. Seems we always have a place we need to be. 

Anyway. do an internet search with 細山長司さん and you will find his Wikipedia page. Credited with pioneering a lot of mainstream fishing methods and equipment. Actually when I tried to search with his name Google came back with this suggested search phrase [ 細山長司さん死去, Mr Hosyama Chōji died] . The interview list he used 2 kebari patterns. Brown System/series Sakasa kebari, (or tea colored) and the White System Caterpillar kebari [ 茶系の逆さ毛バリと白系の毛虫毛鉤を].

It would be cool if you were able to talk more with Mr. Hayashi Kenzō「林謙三さん」and get one of his hand tied or tied in hand,  Akiyama Village tradition kebari 秋山郷風伝承毛鉤. I have found my clones of his pattern Fish Approved. 

Anyway, thanks for replying...

From the page https://www.fallfishtenkara.com/blog it would be nice if each post had a thumbnail image to go along with the title and description...

Fix broken mobile layouts

Comment section on mobile looks horrible. Blog post fore and aft navigation is wonky as well as the footer & bio.... Lots of works needs to happen with TailwindCSS to improve UX.

Blank button

At the bottom of each blog post is a R/L arrow to navigate to the previous or next article. On the last (most recent post) there are two buttons, but since there is no next article the button is blank

Need to add recent press page

I have quite a few left to add...

Gallery Images

Many of the blog posts have a much higher photos to words ratio. I think it would be nice to have some scrolling photo galleries... Not sure how to do this in markdown files format... Will need to research that to see if it is even possible
