John has been an official "Trout Bum" the majority of his adult life, fishing from the Baja Peninsula to Alaska and every stream in-between. In the fall of 2003, much to the shock and chagrin of family and friends, John finally "tied the knot" with the love of his life Melinda, on an island surrounded by Idaho’s River of No Return.

Growing up along Idaho's Salmon River, Bonnie was destined to work within the fishing industry. Whether she is fishing, hiking, camping or riding A.T.V.'s Bonnie is most at home in the outdoors. During the fall she and her husband Doug (with grandkids in tow) can be found fishing for Steelhead or hunting in the Salmon River Country.
