The Tenkara technique is intriguing to me, and I will definitely try it. But traditional (Western) fly fishing is what I love to do and either I'm going to get a light graphite pack rod, or figure out how to be happy lugging my cane rod in a rod tube for 4 days of hiking.
I don't want to grow up, I'm a Fly Fishing are us kid !!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D ;)

Adam, I'm planning on doing the same thing you are once the weather warms up around here. I'm planning a minimalist outfit, preferably as cheap as possible. I'm just starting to get my gear together, so nothing is really set in stone. In order to economize I'll be using as much stuff that I already own as possible, so some items won't be what you would call "ultralight."
Preliminary gear list --
Pack:
-GoLite Jam $125 (light, fairly cheap, and available at EMS where I get a 15% student discount)
-Millitary style MOLLE 3-day pack (it's heavy, but hey, I already own it; problem is it's a piece of junk and requires some modification and repair)
Fishing:
-TenkaraUSA Iwana rod
-Small fly box (36 flies), clippers, etc....
Shelter/sleeping:
-I'm looking into some sort of tarp shelter, likely homemade out of tyvek or silnylon
-Tyvek groundsheet
-35 or 40 degree down sleeping bag
-Foam sleeping pad
Culinary:
-MSR Pocket Rocket stove (christmas gift ;) )
-8oz fuel canister
-plastic spoon & fork (free)
-An ancient stainless backpacking pot (free, and not as heavy as you'd think)
-SIGG aluminum water bottle

I found that when I was looking at golite packs. They have a bunch of great products.
Pretty good price and free shipping.
Thanks for that link Adam!
Hey, no problem.
Do me a favor huh?
Keep checking in with your progress. I want to keep stoked up on this and nothing more keeps me going than to see others in the same process.
I'll detail some of my stories and adventures with my kit. One of my projects is going to be a "solo" movie...
