Jeff
Solis
Saltwater Fly Fishing
Guide
Beginning in 1995 Jeff began spending 50 to 100 days a year fishing
and guiding other fly fishers in Southern California and Baja
Mexico. Through his experience and work he has become one of the
most experienced fly fishers in Southern California and the East
Cape region of Baja Mexico.
Experience
Jeff developed his guiding experience and passion for teaching
fly-fishing while working summers at Frying Pan Anglers in Basalt
while attending college in Colorado from 1989 to 1994.
In July 1995 Jeff opened San Diego Fly Shop with a plan to become
San Diego's premiere full service fly shop catering to all angles
of fly fishing and specializing in the fast growing saltwater
direction of the sport.
In 1999 Jeff sold his interest in San Diego Fly Shop to pursue
other fishing and business interests.
In 2003 Jeff began a new venture when he consulted with two San
Diego partners to assist with the opening of the first new full-service
fly shop in the central San Diego area within 25 years. Today,
Jeff is the Head Guide and Shop Manager for Andy Montana’s
Fly Shop in Coronado, California.
