Jake Knight
This is Jake’s third season as a guide for Owyhee Fly Fisher. He loves all aspects of life on the river and hopes to show clients its magic, along with all the excitement and satisfaction that fishing can bring.
​
Jake is a fourth-generation fisherman and second-generation fly-fisherman. Jake got his first taste of fly-fishing at age ten, when his family moved to Boise. He’s been hooked ever since. It became his passion after taking Brad Abbott’s entomology class at Rocky Mountain High School.
​
Jake is currently an assistant track and field coach at Northwest Nazarene University. He enjoys coaching athletes in the throwing events, utilizing his experience from his days of competition at Auburn University and NNU. In addition to throwing the shot put and discus, Jake played football for three years at Boise State.
​
Jake is honored to have many repeat clients who have enjoyed success under his guidance. He looks forward to sharing his knowledge and passion of the Owyhee river and fly fishing with many new clients
TESTIMONIALS
My wife and I took a guided trip with Jake on Wed Sept 27. We could not have had a better experience. Neither of us had fly fishing experience so we had a learning curve. Jake was just great working with us. We did start to it down! The lunch was unbelievable, really good and I sure didn't expect that. Jake was also very responsive to any before trip questions we had . For sure a 5 star

We used Jake Knight with Owhyee Fly Fishers as our guide for three days. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Jake is a bug geek and will figure out what the fish are eating at that specific time…and not rely on what might have been working the day before. He has an amazing passion for fly fishing and will get just as excited as you (if not more) when you land a nice fish. I’ve fished with a lot of guides before and I’ve never had one that gets as pumped up for you when you catch a good fish. That truly makes the experience so much better. If he spots a big fish, he will work with you and tie on as many different flies as it might take to try to get that fish to bite. He’ll be happy to stick with you and that targeted fish for as long as you want to. I highly recommend Jake Knight and Owhyee Fly Fishers. Give ‘em a try.

Brad and Becky,
I wanted to send a quick note of thanks for such a memorable trip on the Owyhee. Everything from the initial booking, the ongoing communication from Becky, and everything afterwards was top notch. Our guide, Jake, was a pleasure to spend time with, and his knowledge of the river (which I had never fished before) was great – I’ll definitely be a repeat client.
