Ep 118: Tenkara and Being at Home in the Backcountry, with Paul Vertrees

Paul Vertrees is a guide at Royal Gorge Anglers in Cañon City, CO. He specializes in leading backcountry trips, often overnight, and using lightweight tenkara gear. In this episode, we discuss thriving vs. surviving while on remote trips, the myth that tenkara is only for small fish, how to handle larger fish on a tenkara rod, the pros and cons of using tenkara vs. western fly fishing gear, and much more.
