JANIS PUTELIS

     Janis has guided fly fishing trips for wild trout on the Eagle, Roaring Fork, and Colorado Rivers in central Colorado for 12 years.  He has logged over 2500 river miles during his tenure as a float fishing guide. Janis has guided elk and mule deer hunts for 11 years near Steamboat, CO, helping over 50 clients to bull elk.  Janis had a very successful 2010 elk season guiding for Colburn and Scott Outfitters in Arizona including three bulls scoring 341, 356, and 374.  Chasing high country elk is Janis’ favorite pastime. Janis feels truly at home in the backcountry and is often accompanied by his wife, Jennifer, who enjoys both work and play in the backcountry. Janis also works in the outdoor retail industry, staying current with advances in outdoor products. Janis’ other outdoor pursuits include bowhunting, photography, backpacking, skiing, trail running, mountain biking, shed hunting, and anything else that gets him prepared to chase elk.  COLBURN AND SCOTT OUTFITTERS
