 JASON
BORGER began fly fishing at age two. When Jason was ten,
he began professional production fly tying. His first nationally-published
article on fly tying appeared when he was thirteen (in Fly
Tyer magazine). At age sixteen, Jason began working with
his father, Gary, on the Skills of Fly Fishing video series.
His screen work has since encompassed subject matter ranging
from conservation to casting.
 In
1990, Jason illustrated his father's book Designing Trout
Flies, which was honored with Book of the Year recognition
from the United Fly Tyers. In 1991, Jason worked on Robert
Redford's silver-screen adaptation of Norman Maclean's novella,
A River Runs Through It. Jason performed the "Shadow Cast,"
as well as doubling for three different actors in the casting
and fishing scenes. An image of Jason shadow casting was
ultimately used for the film's poster. In 1993, Jason began
his own fly fishing schools, as well as continuing to teach
schools with his father.
 In
1995, Jason illustrated and contributed to his father's
book, Presentation. Jason—s newest book project is entitled
Jason Borger—s Nature of Fly CastingíA Modular Approach.
Jason currently teaches, films and
writes about fly fishing internationally. Jason also serves
on the Board of Governors (BOG) for the Federation of Fly
Fishers' Fly Casting Instructor Certification Program and
the Board of Directors for the United States Youth Flyfishing
Association (USYFA).
