John fishes all over the world each year and runs a business helping other individuals and groups do the same! We took a handful of destinations inside the U.S. and outside, broke down how the planning process goes for each trip, estimated costs, what to expect upon arrival, meals you’ll eat, fish you’ll catch (or hunt!), equipment you should bring (or borrow if you choose to go guided), and some wild stories. A few of the places we discussed were several fisheries in Argentina, Amazon River, New Mexico’s San Juan River, a number of rivers in Colorado, Mongolia, and New Orleans. Fish discussed ranged from 30” brown trout, peacock bass, golden dorado, red fish, and more!
