I've been fishing since I was very young, and I've been tying the Atlantic salmon flies for quite some time now. It keeps me busy during the long Canadian winter months. Many years ago, I purchased two books by Michael D Radencich at the USA
Sommerset fly fishing show: Tying Classic Salmon Flies and Twenty SalmonFlies. This is when my passion for tying classic salmon flies began.
Today I am still learning and enjoying creating flies, especially on special, artistic iron pieces of work by master fly tiers I met at the 2018 ASFI Show, held in Miramichi, NB.
Among my collection of books, two of my reference books are Building Classic Salmon Flies by Ron Alcott and Salmon Flies by Poul Jorgensen.
I've participated as a fly tier to various shows: Issak Walton Show (Ontario) New Jersey, USA International Show, Granby Qc. Show, and the Trois Rivières Show. A few achievements are the Bronze medal at the FQSA World fly tying
championship (2006 & 2010) and first place at the Trois Rivières International contest (2013).
I have been an active member of the Montreal Fly Fishing club for over twenty- five years, which included being Director for five years & vice president for four years. It was with this club that I tied my first fly. In addition, I am a Director for
the Montreal Fly Fishing Museum and a member of the American Museum of Fly Fishing.
I also am a member of the Atlantic Salmon Association (ASF) and the Fédération québécoise pour le saumon atlantique (FQSA).
