I love fishing! I am a Colorado Native & I have been fishing Colorado's lakes and rivers for over 40+ years. I spent 13 years as an assistant fisheries biologist and researcher for a state wildlife agency. I have a Bachelors of Science in Fisheries Biology from Colorado State University and a Masters of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences from the University of Florida. I want to share my passion and knowledge of fishing with others who live in & visit Colorado. It would be my pleasure to take you, your family, and your friends fishing on a Northern Colorado lake.

    Awesome and professional fisherman and I had a great time just fishing with someone that felt like a friend in a sport we both loved and enjoyed. I had him throw back more fish than we could have kept because we both believed in responsible management, he gladly returned a fish to the lake when I asked him to ;-)

    Caught a fish within 5 minutes of lines being in the water and the action continued all day! I’d estimate we caught 25 fish and most of them were keeper size. Hooked into walleye, white bass and even a perch! You can’t go wrong with captain Jed!

    Jed took my father and I on a morning fishing trip. He is one of the most down to earth friendliest guys I’ve met. Very easy to get along with. He is very knowledgable about the fishing and the history around the lake. We had NON STOP ACTION catching trout, walleye, white bass, and perch. We even hooked up and landed some awesome big fun fighting fish such as catfish and carp. I highly recommend booking a trip with him, I know I will when I am back! Thanks again Jed!
