Instructor Bio

Dave Jenkins

My name is Dave Jenkins and I have been fishing around the US for two decades. I grew up in Colorado where I became an avid angler throughout the state fishing as many different watersheds as possible. This brought me to find my home in Gunnison Colorado for college where I quickly realized I wanted to work in the industry that had brought me so much passion over the years.

Since then, I have guided in multiple states, hosted travel trips internationally and nationally, fished extensively in salt water, freshwater (all types), become highly proficient Spey casting, and mastered single hand casting. I am a Certified Casting Instructor through Fly Fishers International and a member of Scott Fly Rods Pro-Staff.
 
My passion for teaching and instruction is a huge part of my life that I enjoy thoroughly and love helping anglers of all levels work on becoming better anglers and casters themselves. I know the importance of casting and the correlation between the caster, the rod, the line, and how perfecting these skills will lead to more fish in any setting.

Most students only require one or two lessons to fix any existing casting flaws or drastically change their understanding and proficiency in casting in any fishing setting.
