Jake Petrasch, fully known as Jake John Garrit Petrasch Jr., is the proprietor of Valley Anglers in the picturesque Mad River Valley, Vermont. This establishment provides guided fly fishing excursions and a robust selection of fishing gear, including rods, wading gear, reels, packs, and bags. An experienced professional with over two decades of expertise in education management, site coordination, and fly fishing, he also enjoys surfing, skateboarding, biking, hunting, and saltwater and freshwater fly fishing, always prioritizing time with his family.

In 2001, he earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts from St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. He furthered his Education at Johnson State College, obtaining a Master's in EducatEducationed on middle-level EducatEducation07. His academic credentials are rounded out with a semester at the National Outdoor Leadership School, which contributed college credits from the University of Utah.

His diverse career has included roles as a teacher, site coordinator, property manager, guide, and logistics coordinator. In 2005, his enthusiasm for teaching and fly fishing inspired him to launch Valley Anglers LLC. Here, he blends his educational prowess with his love for fly fishing, teaching clients of all skill levels about casting techniques, entomology, and knot tying.

He commenced his teaching career in 2010 at the Counseling Services of Addison County as an Alternative Program Head Teacher/Behavior Specialist, focusing on high school students outside the traditional school system. He later joined Harwood Union High School as a paraeducator in 2012, where he specialized in academic and emotional support. By May 2014, he was working at Montpelier High School as a site coordinator, running the school's Outing Club and co-teaching a CrossFit program.

In April 2018, he began his role at Integrated Property Services LLC as a Head Landscaper/Property Manager, overseeing the upkeep of properties in the Mad River Valley.

Born on July 20, 1977, in Fort Worth, Texas, and adopted ten days later, he spent many summers in Nantucket, which formed a significant part of his childhood. It was while pursuing his undergraduate degree that he met his future wife. They married in 2005 in Stowe, Vermont.

Fly fishing has been a pivotal activity in his life, closely tied to his journey of sobriety beginning in 1999. He is an avid fly fisherman with experiences ranging from the Adirondacks to Belize. His other passions include surfing, frequent trips to York, Maine, and motorcycling, as well as a lifelong enthusiasm that saw him receive a Harley Davidson from his wife in spring 2024.

Jake Petrasch's life is steeped in adventure, from his generational connection to hunting to his time on the Maine Coast. Recently, he moved to Williston, Vermont, for better educational opportunities for his children. His dedication to sobriety is a testament to his resilience. He often shares his trials and triumphs openly, always striving to "Hold Fast" through life's challenges.
