Jake Jordan

Jake caught his first Billfish on fly (an Atlantic Sailfish) in Marathon Florida in 1975. Jordan, a FFF certified fly casting instructor, and charter member of the IGFA certified captains program, has since run up an amazing record as a fly angler of catching more than 1000 Billfish on the fly.

Captain Jordan will be demonstrating fly fishing equipment including fly rods, fly reels, rigging, knots, and many of the latest techniques which were developed mostly during the last 15 years by captains, mates and anglers for use in their pursuit of Billfish on Fly. Today, the techniques learned while releasing thousands of sailfish each year have spread world wide. A well prepared fly angler can expect to catch a very large percentage of the Billfish to which they cast their fly. A truly educational program -- you'll walk away a better angler!
