John was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and has been an avid outdoorsman his entire life. Salmon and steelhead are favorite targets in his home state of Washington, but he also enjoys chasing just about anything that swims, including lingcod, trout and kokanee. His passion is getting people out on the water and catching fish. He recently started guiding again after a hiatus to follow a painting career with Boeing. John has almost a decade of combined guiding in the PNW and spends all his spare time on the water with friends and family. In the rare time he isn’t on the water, he enjoys deer and elk hunting.

Joaquin Capelle was born and raised in Patagonia, Argentina where he grew up fishing for rainbow and brown trout. His passion for the outdoors turned into a profession at an early age when he began guiding fly fishing and hunting trips in Patagonia. Later on Joaquin combined both his passions when he created a hunting and fishing consulting agency.
During his 30-year guiding career, Joaquin has chased many species across the Americas, such as the golden dorado in Argentina; snook, tarpon and permit in the flats of Florida; and salmon in Alaska. He has spent the last two summers guiding for kings and reds on the Nushagak River.
In the fall you can find Joaquin in the mountains of New Mexico and Utah guiding for elk, mule deer and pronghorn antelope, or chasing trophy whitetails and Mule deer where he resides in Northwest Kansas with his archery tackle.
After the fishing and hunting season end in the United States, Joaquin travels to Patagonia to guide for trout on the fly and doubles as a hunting guide to go after free range red stag.
Some of Joaquin’s other passions are trekking/camping with family and friends, skiing or flying his motored powered parachute.
