Pros

Bio

Jeff McKenna has had a passion for fishing from an early age. Spurred on by his father and grandfather in both Illinois and Wisconsin, those formative years on the water were educational and memorable. When the opportunity presented itself for Jeff to own a fly rod - nothing has been the same!

Originally from the midwest, Jeff graduated with a bachelor's degree in Forestry Resource Management from West Virginia University. It was during those years in his undergrad education setting where his respect and fondness for the water was discovered.

Coupled with his love of fly fishing, rivers, and a passion for the outdoors, Colorado was calling Jeff to make it home! He relocated to Grand Junction in 2003 and his fishing and river/water passions have continued to grow. In both a raft and a drift boat, Jeff can give clients a guided fly fishing experience in low or high waters. He specializes in guiding on the Colorado, Gunnison, and Roaring Fork rivers and also loves to hit some special still water areas.

The Scott Radian has been one of Jeff's favorite rods to cast (and put into clients' hands) for years now! However, he knows the Centric will be making a usual appearance in the boat, too. The Centric's smooth powerful action and performance allow the angler to feel throughout the entire rod - giving a connection to the fish in a fun and effortless manner. Jeff also has a love for his classic Scott G and E2 series rods.

Married with two sons, Jeff enjoys spending time with his family on and off the river, mountain biking, hosting travel, attending concerts, and sipping whiskey!
