Fishing Guide Jon Ray

Captain Jon Ray has been fly-fishing since the age of 15 and has guided fly anglers in Michigan for the last two decades. Jon’s first love is chasing large predators  with streamers or top-water presentations . The Upper & Lower Manistee, Bestie  and Grand Traverse Bay are among his favorite waters to fish.

Jon has fly fished around the world including Argentina, Belize, Alaska, Brazil, and New Zealand. Some of his favorite fishing spots outside of Michigan include: stripers in Maine, Dorado in Argentina, and Peacock Bass in Brazil. He brings all this experience to your fishing day with an enthusiasm that is contagious. Jon is totally focused on helping his clients land that trophy chrome steelhead, large wary brown trout or that elusive 6 pound smallmouth bass of your dreams, while also improving their fishing skill level. Jon Ray truly loves to teach the art of angling.

Jon Ray is on the Scott Rods Pro Staff , Scientific Anglers Advisor Staff and part of the Loon Outdoors Ambassador program.  He is continually pushing the state-of-the-art in fly fishing with new techniques, tactics, and strategies to enhance the fishing experience.
