More About Jay: Most of the year Jay resides in Newaygo, Michigan, and is a fly fishing guide on the Muskegon River and surrounding area.  In addition to being a highly accomplished guide, Jay has an entrepreneurial spirit.  Winning approval of a government grant, Jay & his wife procured a large, historic building in downtown Newaygo and redeveloped the building into what is now the Muskegon River Inn.
For many years, Jay has spent some of the summer months guiding in Wyoming. He has partnered with Turpin Meadows Ranch as the resort’s fishing manager leading multi-day horseback/fly-fishing/camping trips in the Yellowstone back country, and he has also partnered with a native American outfitter to lead fly fishing trips within the restricted-access Wind River Reservation.
You may remember Jay from past presentations.  Over the past 8 years, he has delivered talks to OBTU on Muskegon River Steelhead fishing, Yellowstone area back country, and Wind River expeditions. Jay is an outstanding guide who will put you on the fish. He also serves the best guide lunch you have ever had!
OBTU thanks Jay for his annual donations of a guide trip and lodging at the Muskegon River Inn for each of the past several years in support of OBTU fund raising!

This is a hybrid meeting:  You can attend in person at the Central Park West Building in the Oak Brook Park District (see map below) or participate in the meeting remotely by signing on to Zoom.
