Jed Thompson: Owner/Guide - Northern Colorado Fishing Outfitters

Loveland, United States
25+ reviews
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.
