Jako Lucas grew up fishing the beaches of his home country South Africa, figuring out from an early age that a life fishing was the life for him. Jako spends the majority of his time guiding fly fishing clients across the globe, from Mongolia to Norway to the Seychelles, and filming new destinations each year with his company, Cpt. Jack Films. And if you’re wondering when Jako will slow down, remember that restlessness is just part of the job: “A fly fisherman’s bucket list is never-ending... there are always new spots to fish, new techniques to learn, and stories to share.”
Captain Jack Productions
In 2009, while guiding the notorious outer atolls of the Indian Ocean Jako, no longer satisfied with only taking pictures, started experimenting with filming fly fishing. Capt Jack Productions was officially established in 2012. It was built on the pure desire to share the exhilarating experience of fly fishing through producing cutting edge film in some of the world’s most remote and complex fisheries. Jako’s goals are to entice the younger generation to explore some of the less known locations in the world by sharing these incredible settings that he travels to.
