Jay Baichi

Owner Jay Baichi grew up in central New York Fishing the Finger Lakes and Great Lake tributaries with his father and grandfather.  He was introduced to fly fishing by chasing striper on the New England coast.  Ever since, Jay built his day dreams and vacations around fly fishing. Jay moved to Colorado in 2001 to teach elementary school, rock climb, and pursue new fly fishing opportunities. When he is not fishing, Jay enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife Jen and three sons JP, Joey, and James.

WHY 5280

Fly fishing is FUN. Whether you join 5280 Angler for your first hook up, or for another perfect day in a long line of fishing adventures, we promise to provide an outstanding angling experience. Our guides know these waters and know these trout. Book a trip with 5280 Angler, and let us get to know you. We’ll share an incredible day on the river worthy of the fish we all love to pursue.

WHAT WE DO

5280 Angler takes a state of the art approach to outfitting. We design our angling adventures with a client-centered philosophy. Rather than merely offer a one-size-fits-all trip, we’ll listen to you and create a truly unique day on the river. Among our countless hours on the water, we’ve often witnessed a tunnel-vision approach to guiding that often yields nothing but anxiety and frustration. Our guides, however, promise to keep YOU at the heart of what we do. We plan and adjust our trips to meet your angling ability, group size, and unique goals. We specialize in creating opportunities to learn and practice new techniques, hook trout, and make memories.
