Disclosures and Terms
While Tenkara USA will try to ensure only tenkara guides with credentials and the proper licenses, documentation and insurance are part of the network, we do not take responsibility for the tenkara guide service provided by the guides in the Tenkara Guide Network. Tenkara USA is not a guiding outfitter. Tenkara USA is not liable for the services and tenkara experience provided by guides in the Tenkara Guide Network nor the Certified Tenkara Guides that are part of the network. The certification is simply our way to indicate the guide has a good understanding of traditional tenkara techniques. We do not endorse nor underwrite guides.

Become a part of the Tenkara Guide Network:
While we can vouch that every tenkara fishing guide in the Tenkara Network is committed to tenkara and has a great understanding of the method, we have also started a certification program for more in-depth endorsement of the fishing experience and knowledge of guides in the network. Certified Tenkara Guides have been certified in person and are anglers who have shown a great understanding and commitment to tenkara’s history and philosophy as well as techniques and skills used in tenkara. However, this is a very small part of our program. Since each certification of tenkara anglers is conducted in person we are not able to certify every guide in the network. We are working on ways to make that happen in the future. More info.
