Jesse James was born in Colorado, but claims Idaho as his home. Out of high school, he joined the Army and served for 4 years at Fort Carson. After getting discharged, he and his wife moved to Island Park, ID. Jesse will often be found outside, whether it is fishing, hunting, hiking, or exploring the trails in the area on his motorcycle.

While this is Jesse’s first year guiding, he has been fishing for the majority of his life. He attended Sweetwater Guide School in Montana in the fall of 2024. He enjoys sharing his hobbies with others and looks forward to taking clients out on the water.
