Peter Jaacks

About Pete

Born and raised in Colorado, Peter started casting a fly rod as a teenager on the mountain streams and lakes of the Rocky Mountains. While attending Colorado State University, Peter’s backyard expanded to the Western US, spending free time from school chasing secret skiing glades and remote trout streams. Upon graduating from CSU, Peter drove from Colorado to Alaska and spent the summer backpacking, fishing, and rafting around south-central Alaska. Upon returning to the lower 48, Peter co-lead a National Geographic funded expedition floating the entire length of the Elwha River on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington to document the dam removal project and returning fishery there. In 2014, Peter started working for Alaska’s Wild River Guides, sharing adventures and fish stories with guests while moving across the awe-inspiring landscapes of southwest Alaska. When he is not fishing, Peter can be found at the end of a long skin-track, searching for powder in the Colorado backcountry.

Testimonials

Not a week goes by that I don't think about my fishing adventures with Mark Rutherford in the most remote, stunning, and productive fishery on the planet, Bristol Bay, Alaska. R.A. Beattie
I have a flood of memories from Alaska, but the most remarkable ones were fishing with Mark John Markoff
I released more fish in the first three days than I’ve caught in my entire life, combined! Will Tully. Goodnews. July 17-25, 2014.
I told people I was going on the trip of a lifetime and that is exactly what this has been. John Gormley. Togiak River. August 11-18, 2018
It was a stellar week. Our time on the river strengthened my sense of purpose in life and changed the way I view the world. Bob Roark
They acted like horses compared to my Montana spring creek Rainbows Craig Roberts
In our days floating down the river, we encountered the rainbow trout in its rarest form — completely wild, ferocious and faster than a speeding bullet Paul Greenberg
Our week was more than a pleasure.  It was a really great experience for both me and the boys.  Can't tell you how much we enjoyed it! Scott Slappey. Goodnews. July 17-25, 2014.
Your understanding of the Alaskan wilderness and biology adds a dimension that you won't get with the lodges.  A true wilderness adventure. Brent Whitney
The coho fishing started strong and just continued to strengthen, peaking by the hour. There was a session with Jim Bean at "Porpoise Flats" that goes down as the BEST 90 minutes of fishing in my life bar none. Really large silvers on every cast, we spent most of the time doubled up. I'm fairly certain there were no two happier people on the planet at that moment. Bob Erickson
