Meet Jake, a BC-born, Alberta-raised, avid angler whose passion for the sport began with fly fishing on the Okanagan lakes with his aunt. Growing up in Calgary, Jake spent countless hours chasing trout on the Bow River and honing his fly-tying skills in preparation for his next adventure. After high school, he moved to North Vancouver, where he developed a deep love for saltwater fishing on the Pacific.
Jake’s guiding career began in Haida Gwaii, where he spent several summers perfecting his salmon fishing techniques.
His dedication and expertise led him to a leadership role as Lead Guide, mentoring new guides and overseeing the dock operations of the lodge.
Today, Jake is a key member of the Pacific Angler team. As both a guide and Guide Operations and Marketing Manager, he plays a pivotal role in ensuring our guiding programs are of the highest standard, while also developing and promoting our services to the angling community.
Jake continues to guide on local rivers for salmon, trout and steelhead, bringing his experience and passion to every trip. Outside of work, Jake enjoys skiing, camping, and spending time with his family, always with his next fishing adventure in mind.
