Boyd Lake, Loveland: Full Day Trip on August 19, 2024 • 2 adultsAwesome and professional fisherman and I had a great time just fishing with someone that felt like a friend in a sport we both loved and enjoyed. I had him throw back more fish than we could have kept because we both believed in responsible management, he gladly returned a fish to the lake when I asked him to ;-)
Daniel Thomson5.0VerifiedUnforgettable Father/Son Fishing Trip
Boyd Lake, Loveland: 3/4 Day Trip on September 29, 2023 • 2 adultsJed took my father and I on a morning fishing trip. He is one of the most down to earth friendliest guys I’ve met. Very easy to get along with. He is very knowledgable about the fishing and the history around the lake. We had NON STOP ACTION catching trout, walleye, white bass, and perch. We even hooked up and landed some awesome big fun fighting fish such as catfish and carp. I highly recommend booking a trip with him, I know I will when I am back! Thanks again Jed!
Ryan Uhazie5.0VerifiedCaught a ton of fish! All day action!
Boyd Lake, Loveland: Half Day Trip on June 10, 2024 • 2 adultsCaught a fish within 5 minutes of lines being in the water and the action continued all day! I’d estimate we caught 25 fish and most of them were keeper size. Hooked into walleye, white bass and even a perch! You can’t go wrong with captain Jed!

LIMITS
Boyd Lake, Loveland: Half Day Trip on September 23, 2023 • 2 adultsI would not have expected to be put on fish immediately. Jeb was awesome. We'll definitely be scheduling another trip with him in the future. Look for the ice fishing. You can't go wrong for being local. 45 minutes out of Denver and on fish. The gear the boat the hospitality was top-notch Can't say enough
