This is Jake’s third season as a guide for Owyhee Fly Fisher. He loves all aspects of life on the river and hopes to show clients its magic, along with all the excitement and satisfaction that fishing can bring.

​

Jake is a fourth-generation fisherman and second-generation fly-fisherman. Jake got his first taste of fly-fishing at age ten, when his family moved to Boise. He’s been hooked ever since. It became his passion after taking Brad Abbott’s entomology class at Rocky Mountain High School.

​

Jake is currently an assistant track and field coach at Northwest Nazarene University. He enjoys coaching athletes in the throwing events, utilizing his experience from his days of competition at Auburn University and NNU. In addition to throwing the shot put and discus, Jake played football for three years at Boise State.

​

Jake is honored to have many repeat clients who have enjoyed success under his guidance. He looks forward to sharing his knowledge and passion of the Owyhee river and fly fishing with many new clients
