Naoki Ienaga : Reggae & Tarpon

At Le Mouching, we enjoy listening to reggae and we love fly fishing, the two go well together. We also love discovering new things, going on adventures, and meeting new people. We’ve always considered fly fishing to be more of a way of life than just a way to catch fish! Here’s a portrait of Naoki Ienega, a Japanese reggae specialist who discovered tarpon fishing in Jamaica… Turn up the volume! (We’ve added a mixtape…)

In his pursuit of unearthing little-heard Jamaican music, Naoki ventured far from his home in Tokyo. A one-of-a-kind reggae researcher, he took on a vital role of documenting rare music for the public. Naoki then discovered another icon of Jamaican culture: tarpon fishing. It uncovered a new connection with the island and transformed his experience of Jamaica.

And for your ears, Friday’s mixtape by Naoki Ienaga aka Dub Store.
