Guide Spotlight - Britten Jay

Silver Bow guide Britten Jay sharing laughs with Michael Visintainer and Bo Brand as they reminisce about his years of guiding the Spokane River.

Montana bound

Today we say farewell and good luck to longtime Silver Bow employee and guide Britten Jay as he embarks on a new adventure in Montana.

Britten started working with us in 2004 and a handful of years later he and I started our Spokane River guide program. Working as a full time teacher BJ would spend summers guiding the Spokane (plus Grande Ronde steelhead in the fall) and when not rowing our homewaters would travel all over Montana chasing trout and mountain biking.

Britten now will be able to enjoy all things Montana as he has for decades plus continue his guiding career during his summers with a couple great Montana outfitters (Great Divide Outfitters and The Big Hole Lodge).

We wish Britten the best during his new chapter in life and thank him for his 17 years of service.

If you weren’t fortunate enough to share a boat with him locally you best do yourself a favor and reach out to him when he is Montana, I know I will be when we are rolling through!

Thank you Britten and good luck!
