    Ep. 13: THe Lost Art of the Basics in Flyfishing

    In our world of instant gratification, it's easy to get ahead of ourselves when we begin a new endeavor. We want to take shortcuts, skim the literature, ignore details that seem insignificant (or boring). But in this episode, Jason and his guest, Chuck Kaminski, explain why it's crucial to have a good command of the basic skills in fly fishing if you want to progress as an angler. We identify common issues, explain why they're a problem, and offer practical advice and resources to help you start off your fly fishing journey right--or (for some of us), brush up on skills we might be rusty on (or just plain overlooked).

    Ep. 9: Why I Switched to Tenkara and Never Looked Back!

    In 2009, I picked up a tenkara rod for the first time--and never put it down. Like many, my introduction to tenkara was thanks to Tenkara USA, the oldest tenkara company in the U.S. In this episode, I reminisce about what it's like to transition to tenkara with my friend John Geer, the Dealer Services manager for Tenkara USA. John talks to customers and dealers every day so he has his finger on the pulse of what it's like for tenkara newcomers.  If you're a fly angler interested in tenkara, this episode is for you!
