Huron River Trips

Item Description

Half day walk and wade trip on the upper Huron River-2 anglers

In a family trip to Maine in 1992, Jay had his first experience with a fly rod.  Since then, he has never been without one. In the early 90's he taught himself to dry fly fish for trout on the "Holy Waters" of the AuSable River.  After a few seasons and more exploring, he found himself on the trophy waters below Mio where he learned more modern techniques chasing big browns.  Every summer and winter, Jay would travel to Colorado with his dad where he was introduced to a whole new level of fly fishing. In 1999, Jay was uprooted from Ann Arbor and moved to Durango, Colorado where he was to attend High School.  At age 16, Jay became one of the youngest Orvis endorsed guides in the country, fishing waters such as the Animas River, Los Pinos, Piedra, Gunnison, Dolores and the San Juan River in northern New Mexico.  Under the tutelage of some of the finest guides in Colorado, Jay quickly gained new understanding of his target species, techniques, fly tying, and entomology.  Upon graduation from high school in 2003, Jay and close fishing buddy moved to Bend, Oregon in search of new waters.  There they found 24"+ Brown Trout in small spring creeks, as well as the educated and aggressive "Red Side" Rainbow Trout in the Deschutes River.  After 14 months, Jay moved back to Colorado to find work.  After a short stay, Jay moved to Florida and then Michigan where he resides today chasing Steelhead and Smallmouth Bass every chance he gets.  Saltwater fly fishing is his new passion.  He can be found on the beaches of Mexico's Baja Peninsula chasing Roosterfish as well as stalking the flats of the Florida Keys in search of Bonefish, Tarpon, and Permit.  Jay is excited to be working with Mike Schultz at Schultz Outfitters and Colton Bay Outfitters, and learning everything he can about the elusive Steelhead of the Great lakes.
