Overview

With over 55 years of fishing experience that has taken him across North America Jed has learned the benefits of guidance while fishing unfamiliar waters or for new species. Even trying new gear is easier while fishing with someone who knows how to use it. With a guide by your side, you can climb the fishing curve more quickly than you might imagine.
