About
My name is Jake Foos. I am 41 years old and I have been fishing in Grand County nearly my entire life. I specialize on the "fishing for numbers trips" as well as fishing with families and children. However, big fish are also on the table with me. I have many sponsors from throughout the country and run a 21 foot Crestliner Boat. I like to provide a fun experience and enjoy teaching clients what I have learned throughout my time fishing. I am first aid/CPR certified. On my trips, you can expect a ton of laughs, gaining knowledge of the area and the water we are fishing and simply having a good time. Thank you for the opportunity to fish with all of you.
Adventure Tips
Dress in Warm Layers
Temperatures on Grand Lake can drop quickly; wearing insulated layers keeps you comfortable throughout the day.
Bring a Good Headlamp
If your trip extends into early evening, a reliable headlamp helps with baiting hooks and navigating the ice safely.
Use Non-slip Ice Cleats
Cleats improve footing on potentially slippery ice surfaces, reducing risk of falls during your fishing session.
Stay Hydrated
Cold weather can mask dehydration, so remember to drink water regularly even if you don’t feel thirsty.
