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.
