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!
Customer Reviews
Excellent Show
I love the show and the series of guests Jason brings on board to discuss all things Tenkara. I especially like how Jason is not tied to a specific rod company. It makes me feel like his thoughts are more neutral (or at least his own). I also like the friendly debates that emerge (as there really is no one way to fish tenkara). I feel like Jason makes room for differing opinions which encourages me to fish the ways that work best for me on the waters that I fish. The show is a great addition to the ongoing discussion and I learn new things with each listen.
Fun and informative
Found your podcast from another Tenkara site and am really enjoying it. Very informative and even educational to a nano ice Tenkara fisherman. Your second episode was really enjoyable as I live about an hour from Royal Gorge Angler and will be trying to set up my first ever guide trip with Paul. Exciting prospects as I get back into fishing.
