About the Author

Jackson Streit has been fly fishing for more than 33 years. Since 1971 he has fished in Colorado an average of 100 days a year!

After graduating from University of Denver, Jackson moved to the ski resort town of Breckenridge where he has lived ever since. In 1977 he started the first fly fishing guide service in the area. In 1985 he opened The Mountain Angler, a thriving fly shop he owns and operates. The shop supplies gear, guides and fly fishing information to anglers testing the many waters of Colorado…and beyond.

Jackson has personally tested those “beyond” waters, having guided and fished most of the western U.S. and Florida as well as New Zealand, Belize, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and the Bahamas. He also escorts a group of fly fishers to Christmas Island each year.

The fly fishing community seeks Jackson, and his array of photos, for many presentations each year. He has written several articles for Colorado publications and is very involved in his Trout Unlimited chapter. In the summer, he teaches fly fishing schools.

Jackson is also passing along the family passion for fly fishing to his son Evan. When not raising a family, traveling, managing his fly shop or writing about fly fishing, Jackson plans and waits for his next chance to fish.
