Guide Jeff Cooke is also a native of Muskegon. Like Kyle, he grew up fishing the area's vast watershed. Fishing with his dad since toddler age, he honed his fly rod skills on bedding bluegills on Little Black Lake.
After attaining a degree in Natural Resources Communications at Michigan State University, he went to work pursuing his dream of officiating the highest levels of professional hockey. After several years of chasing the dream, Jeff has returned to his first love, fishing.
Jeff's specialty and passion in fly fishing. From casting instruction to entomology to fly typing, his favorite fishing memories aren't of trophy fish, but passing on the passion to future anglers and seeing the smile on their face when they catch the first of many fish.
Jeff splits time between West Michigan and Vail, Colorado where he guides the Eagle, Colorado and Roaring Fork Rivers for Gore Creek Fly Fisherman. Book a trip with him today and see why he returns from the mountains to steward the waters that brought him back home. |
