MIKE JACOBS<\/strong><\/p>

\"A<\/a>Mike Jacobs is from Monticello, IA. He has tied flies and fly fished for over 50 years. His main passion is floating Eastern Iowa rivers and streams in search of smallmouth bass but he enjoys exploring western waters, fishing for a wide variety of Trout, Salmon and Grayling.<\/p>

In his program Mike will share some favorite waters of the West where you can connect with Golden Trout in the Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness in WY, Grayling in the Snowy Mountain range in WY and Westslope Cutthroat trout on Rock Creek near Philipsburg, MT.<\/p>
