We caught up with Gastón somewhere between the tail end of one season and the scramble to prep for the next — the man barely slows down. Born with a rod in hand and raised on the waters of Córdoba before finding his true calling in Patagonia, Gastón’s story reads like every angler’s daydream. From chasing silversides as a kid to guiding on the legendary rivers of Tierra del Fuego, he’s built a life around big water, bigger trout, and the kind of sunsets that make you forget what day it is. We talked migratory browns, fly setups, and what it means to turn wild country into a classroom — and a career.

We caught up with Ben, one of those rare anglers who walks the line between laid-back Kiwi humility and razor-sharp competitive drive. He’s not your typical full-time guide—he’s a mechanical engineer by trade—but when word gets out, folks know who to call. Between chasing monster rainbows under moonlight and gearing up for the World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic, Ben sat down with us to talk passion, patience, and what it really takes to fish at the top level.

We caught up with Payton on a slow morning while the river was still waking up—steam rising, birds tuning up, and coffee in hand. She’s the kind of angler who doesn’t just fish—she feels the water, sees the bigger picture, and brings a conservationist’s heart to everything she does. From her first shaky casts in a backyard pond to landing partnerships with Redington and RIO, Payton’s journey is all about grit, growth, and genuine love for the outdoors. Pull up a chair and settle in—this one’s got heart, hustle, and a few hard-earned lessons from the water.
