Pros

Bio

Dave Jenkin's life has been fly fishing ever since he could remember. As a Colorado native, he grew up fishing extensively across the Front Range. Rocky Mountain National Park was where he found his true home, love and passion as he explored the high country, fishing the small creeks and rivers in the pursuit of solitude. Dave moved to Gunnison, Colorado to attend Western State Colorado University and to explore the legendary waters of the Colorado’s Western Slope. While there, he discovered his calling to be a fly fishing guide, in order to serve as an ambassador for others who wanted to start their own journey into the sport. In the fall of 2014, he moved to Seattle.

His journey so far has led him to explore river in the Olympic Peninsula, the Western Cascades, as well as beaches around the Puget Sound. Dave is constantly pursuing new places, new fish, and new ideas. When he isn't on the river, he is inevitably working hard at the vice tying new patterns and coming up with innovative ideas. Over the years, Dave has had the privilege of fishing in Colorado, Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming, and now Washington. He is proud to call himself a member of the team at The Avid Angler Fly Shop in Washington, as well a member Scott’s Pro Staff.
