A native to Colorado, Bob has been an avid fly fisher since the age of 10 when his grandmother gave him a glass Orvis rod at Christmas. He spent the summers of his youth fishing with his father and uncle from Colorado to Yellowstone. His home waters include the Thompson and the Poudre, but his travels have led him to Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and New Mexico. Bob guides part time at the Rawah Ranch in the Laramie River Valley and is also an avid photographer.

A resident of Colorado for nearly ten years, I started Tenkara almost five years ago after getting bored with other styles of fishing and have not done any other types of fishing since. Blue lines away from humanity is where it's at for me, finding new waters to explore is my goal and I enjoy to share my love of Backcountry blue lining with other like minded people.

Jason was one of the earliest adopters of tenkara when it was first introduced to the U.S. and has still used nothing but the tenkara method for trout since 2009. He's the author of www.tenkaratalk.com and has written hundreds of blog posts, magazine, and book articles on the subject. He's also the inventor of the EZ Keeper line-management system, as well as several other tenkara gear and fly design innovations. As a former fly fishing guide and casting instructor, Jason enjoys giving hands-on presentations to groups eager to learn more about tenkara.

Rob Worthing, MD, is an avid angler, backpacker, and wilderness medical professional. An early adopter of fixed line fly fishing in the United States, he has appeared in a variety of magazines, books, television shows, and events on the subject. Rob is a certified guide and founding member of Tenkara Guides LLC, creator of TROutreach, a proud member of Team Oni USA, and one the first Americans inducted into Japan’s Harima Tenkara Club. Known in Japan by his tenkara name, “Drunken Rod”, Rob firmly believes that the harder you fish during the day, the better your IPA will taste in the evening. In the coming months, Rob’s wife will depart for her next thru-hiking adventure, leaving him a bachelor angler. So if you need a fishing partner this summer, he’s your huckleberry.
