Alaska Freshwater Fishing Guides
Fly Fishing and Spin Casting
Jay Mar
Head Freshwater Guide
Jay is the head freshwater fishing guide at Boardwalk Lodge. He has an interesting and varied background. He grew up in the restaurant
business in Wichita, Kansas, where his father owned a restaurant for 40 years. Jay graduated from Wichita State
University with a degree in cultural anthropology. Later, he attended the Scottsdale Culinary
Institute and graduated from the Le Cordon Bleu culinary program there. Part of the curriculum
was an externship program, which he fulfilled at Boardwalk. Not only did he serve well in our
kitchen, but the following year became our Executive Chef.
Fishing, however, is an even greater love for Jay. He has fished throughout the U.S. and has
been a well-accepted guide in Kansas. Beginning with the 2004 season, he began guiding for Boardwalk,
where he enjoys guiding guests for Alaska's numerous freshwater species.
Saltwater Fishing
Rich Butts
USCG Certified Saltwater Fishing Captain
A resident of Southwest Washington, Rich pursued an undergraduate degree in education from Central
Washington University and later earned a master's in Sports Science. He has been teaching for many
years and has earned numerous awards for coaching at both middle and high school levels.
Rich became addicted to fishing at age seven. He spends countless hours on the water -- particularly
the Columbia River near his home -- where some of his favorite targets are salmon and steelhead. Rich
looks forward to coaching lodge guests this summer, helping them reel in some good times and perhaps the
catch of a lifetime!
