A bit about Jeff:
Captain Jeff Liskay started his fishing obsession in the Great Lakes on the south shores of Lake Erie, scooping minnows into bait buckets at a small bait shop, at 11 years old. As a young Captain he ran charters for Walleye and other Great Lakes warm water species with conventional gear and spent time in the local fishing tournament circuit. In the late 80s, he was introduced to fly angling and it’s been his passion ever since.
Today, Jeff is a premier Great Lakes guide who is widely respected for his 2-Handed casting instruction, dedication to chasing chrome, formidable multi-species knowledge and as an explorer who loves to identify new fly angling opportunities and techniques for Great Lakes species and venues. He's spent his life supporting the Great Lakes fishery as a Founder of the Ohio Central Basin Steelheaders and by spreading his passion for his home waters through personal relationships across the region and industry brands. From his home base in northern Ohio, Liskay has fished across the entire Great Lakes as well as Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska and other destinations.
He is a frequently requested presenter, podcast host for the Wet Fly Swing and media contributor. Jeff represents Patagonia, Scott Fly Rods and Scientific Anglers, in roles as ambassador and adviser. Those who know him say he is the nicest and fishiest dude you will meet. When he’s not guiding, you will find him fun fishing with his wife Karen or friends, helping Great Lakes anglers, advocating for improved fish handling and challenging the boundaries of fly fishing in the Great Lakes region.
Contact Jeff personally or through his business, Great Lakes Flyfishing LLC, for guide trips, instruction and as a travel host.
