Our team is deeply rooted in the heart of the green mountain state
Vermont is our home, we are passionate about our waters and the ecological system that it’s composed of. Spending excessive time in these environments has given us the desire to advocate for, educate about, and share these beautiful places with our fellow community of anglers.
Safety 1st
Our guides have experience with current and up to date safety practices and procedures while in aquatic and wilderness environments. We also use the gear that we believe and trust in ourselves. Emphasizing components of safety helps ensure your trip is all that it can be.
Handtied Flies
Our guide staff ties all the flies used on Vermont Capital Fishing fly fishing trips. Using our native knowledge of our rivers, ponds, and lakes ecosystems we tie and fish a number of standard patterns along with our own variations we find fish particularly well in the waters flowing through the green mountains.
Deep connections with the land and community
We take pride in our company and guide’s close relationship with Green Mountain State’s waters, ecology, community, and heritage.. Being in touch with our home allows us to offer you a true Vermont experience we believe is unmatched by other tourism opportunities in the area.

Simply put, our guides love fish and the waters they live in. We feel blessed to be on the water everyday and share our fishing experiences with all of our guest.
Meet The Owner-Head Guide
Evan Martell is a multiple generation Vermonter who grew up in exploring the outdoors of Northern Vermont. Throughout his life he’d always been fascinated by the nature and adventures that took place just out his backdoor. It only felt right for him to find ways to share these places with other community members and guests visiting the area. Like any good Vermonter if he’s not on the water you might find him tapping maple trees or boiling it’s sap into syrup. Careful asking him about the maple sugaring process though cause he’ll talk your ear off.
Wading and Fishing Gear
We are proud to be able to outfit our guests in high quality fishing gear. For wading gear, we use all Simms product which are universally viewed as the premium product on the market. Our fly rods, reels, and lines used are either Orvis product which is a Vermont based company or Douglas, an awesome upstate NY based company. All the fishing gear guest use is quality gear we stand by and proudly fish ourselves. All guests are encouraged to use their own gear if that’s their preference.
