Q: Why did you guys decide start the Jason Fishing Team.

A: Sacha and Jules started the Jason Fishing Team along with their YouTube channel on September 11, 2012. Our first video was titled "Fly Tying", which was "how to" fishing video. A few weeks later a second video was made. The video was named "Fly Fishing in the Alps". We wanted the channel to show the natural beauty and the fishing of our area. The channel became popular and we were contacted by K&J Tackle, a US fishing tackle company that makes the Wacky RIG'R, a fishing tool for bass fishing. They asked us if we would be interested in helping promote their product. We accepted their sponsorship offer.

Our team is from Champagny-en-Vanoise, a popular ski resort village, located in Rhone-Alps area of France. The last couple of years we had requests from other young people from our area, wanting to be added to our team. We currently have a total of six members. Our YouTube channel now has over 900 subscribers.
