About Jake Villwock:

Relentless Fly Fishing, which will serve as a contract guide service for three of TCO Fly Shop’s locations.

Jake guides in PA for trout, smallmouth, and steelhead. He has a true passion for warmwater, it is hard to find him anywhere but a smallmouth river from early spring to late fall. When he is not rowing a boat, he is most likely crawling around a local spring creek chasing picky wild fish.
