Jordan Young

Member since December 2023 Traverse City, United States
Background
I have spent my entire life fishing, growing up in a very fishy family. My Great-grandfather was Paul H. Young, a pioneer in the bamboo fly rod manufacturing business. Fishing is in my blood. I spent my 20's and 30's fishing tournaments from Indiana to Northern Mi. I travel frequently to fish and have fished in numerous countries. I have lived in Traverse City my entire life and have fished more water and lakes than most others. My passion is getting people out on the water and catching memories.
Techniques
What separates me from other Guides is that I do not offer just a couple options. You tell me what type of fish you'd like to catch, what type of rod you'd like to use, and I will do my best to make that happen. Whether you want to catch a giant King Salmon on my 22' Key West or catch a Northern Pike on a Fly Rod from my 19' Bay Boat, I am your guide.
