Lucas Jones was born in Troy and started fly fishing the Kootenai River when he was 10 years old.  By the ripe old age of 14 he was tying fully dressed salmon flies.  To say he's an obsessive and outstanding tier is an understatement.  He put himself through college at the University of Montana in Missoula by working at a local fly shop.  After graduating he continued to work at the shop until he decided to return to Troy.  He's been guiding for us since he graduated for the last six years.  His smile and enthusiasm are infectious and he's happy to be on the Kootenai is his driftboat or hiking up a small stream in search of native cutthroats.  Lucas is also an avid waterfowl hunter gets just as excited when he sees ducks as he does when his guests catch fish.  He lives in Troy, Montana with his wife Mara, daughter Jenny and dogs.
