Jocelin is a well known figure in Eastern Canada & Quebec Fly fishing communities. A full time river guide on Quebec North Shore Region, an fly fishing instructor 

Drainage/Rivers: The upper Aux Outardes River, Trinité, Pentecôte and Aux Rochers River

Species: 
Atlantic Salmon, Northern Pike, Lake Trout, Sea Run Brook Trout, Brook Trout and Lake Whitefish

I grew up in an era when every little boy would fish for brook trout, had a BB gun and wanted to be a coureur des bois. Thank god a big part of me never grew up!

Everything worthwhile for me seemed to lay just East of where I spent my childhood years... and when I finally hit the end of the road, I was in Newfoundland. After guiding there for 2 summer, and having so much fun, I decided to see what was at the other side of the Belle-Isle straight , I ended up on Quebec's North Shore. I have been working full-time in Quebec for 10 Years now. Since 1998  My wife Sonie and I host fly fishing trips all over the North Shore introducing old and new friends to some of Quebec's North Shore best fishing destinations. I'm also a professional  fly tier, and have been tying flies since my late teens.

My love of fly fishing stems from an early age when as a 12 yr old I used to try and make trout flies to use on the river tweed close to where I lived at time so i guess i had the basics in place for pike fly tying in later life in between my goes at dead baiting and lure fishing for pike , I'm now pretty much 100% fly only just love the method as a sport

i have a passion for tying pike flies that is hard to resist sometimes things just leap into you head and you got to go make it no matter what time of the day or night it is , sometimes ill see a pattern and think pike and change it around a bit to suit my style of fishing...

sub bugs are slowly taking over my brain such a versatile fly hence the website with ken to get the ideas out there and down on paper so to speak for the history books

I've known ken for a while and he's a really crazy arsed fly angler and a great friend and with as much passion for the sport as I've ever seen although it does help when you live 10 min from some great fishing and have your own boat .

I also have a regular pike fly fishing / fly tying site click the link below and enjoy the site as well as this one

Juan grew up in Northern New Mexico fishing the small streams and creeks of the Sangre De Cristos.  In 1997, a switch to fly-fishing was made and he has never looked back.  Over the years, he has guided on the Cimarron River in New Mexico as well as the South Platte River in Colorado.  

Juan received his first tying kit when he was 15.  After a few disastrous “creations”, it was put away for a few years.  In college at Durango, CO the kit was opened and a new appreciation for the globs of fur, feathers, floss and thread was created.  Now after 15 years of tying Juan is an accomplished fly tier.   Currently a part time guide for Anglers Covey and a fly tying instructor for Ghillies Fly Shop in Colorado Springs, there are not many seconds that pass without the thought of fishing or tying that go by.  Juan runs a bog about fly tying and fly fishing at hopperjuan.blogspot.com.  Got Hoppers?  
 

  

 

Dai is a well known figure in Europeam Fly fishing communities.

 Started fishing at the age of six, on the Afon Twrch. When I was a bit older my Dad started taking me sea fishing off the Mumbles pier.

At the age of 9, i started fly tying and fishing for sewin on the River Tawe. in those days the river was just full of fish sewin huge runs it was an awesome river and you never though about catching 30/ 40 sewin in the day spinning and fly fishing, you would also catch salmon / bass and twait shad by the bin full, how the days have changed.


I love the sewin and bass fishing, those were the two fish I loved to fish for. 41 years ago I started fly fishing for bass off the Gower. I have also fished many places around the world, catching blue fin tuna 625lb, shark 450lb, sailfish 124lb, my PB fish on a fly tarpon about 60lb

 Personal best salmon on a fly 22lb 08oz, Sewin 10lb 12oz, rainbow 15lb 12oz, Brown 10lb 04oz, bass 11lb 06oz, tarpon 60lb, lemon shark 85lb, I also like my carp fishing PB on a fly 36lb 12oz, on bait 51lb UK PB, French PB is 57lb 12oz. 
 

Marc Madore

Marc is a well known figure in Eastern Canada & Quebec Fly fishing communities and a river guide on the Miramichi watershed.

Drainage/Rivers: The Miramichi river

Marc maintains he is responsible for popularizing the Chenille Bugs in the Miramichi system. This was not an easy task, but he finally got an authority on flies for the Miramichi to admit that they fish well; however, the same person refuses to stock the Chenille Bugs because they are not tied with original material. “There are problems in tying the Chenille Bugs. The main ones are that you have to double the bodies and tie in the hackle by the butt rather than the tip, or the hackle can break”, says Marc. “I’ve done a lot of study on the Atlantic salmon. I am totally focused on it and I gave up all other fishing so I can fish only Atlantic salmon. I gave it all up so I can learn what makes the salmon tick. One of the things I learned is that, contrary to popular belief, the Atlantic salmon eats bugs when it enters the fresh water rivers”, says Marc.

According to Marc we are fishing flies that are way to big. The smaller the fly the more fish he gets. There are reasons for this. Marc believes that flies should have a lot more action to them than the flies we produced up to 1996. The whole world of fly tying can be regenerated if we wanted it to. If we take a look at the history of some of the older flies, and who tied them and where they were fished, we could get some of it back. If we look at the “Jock Scott” and the other very classic flies for example. Where were they made and where were they fished? They were fished over thousands of fish, but the Gillies at the time could not fish, nor afford to fish these places. Those flies were designed for fishing under adverse conditions.

Marc’s favorite feather wing fly is the Canadian Black Dose while his favorite hair wing flies have to be a green butt “Black Bear” and a slightly modified “Undertaker”.


“Canadian Black Dose” tied by R. Marc Madore

Marc feels that it is just as much of an art to tie the fully dressed feather pattern flies by using substitute material. It doesn’t cost an arm, or a leg, for material and the substitute material can look just as beautiful. Marc has been teaching a lot of people the art of fly tying and when he sends his students away at the end of the course he tells them to go and practice what they were taught. Many of his students have come back and told him that when they converted the technique and precision he taught them to tie the feather wing flies into tying their hair wings they now tie a hair wing fly that is twice the fly they tied previously.

Robert Marc Madore April 2005

In the early 1980’s Marc tied a fly that he was very proud of, so he took it to show Cliff Brown, an older and experienced fly Tyer in Oromocto, New Brunswick. Cliff examined the fly carefully and said, “Marc, it’s a good fly, but remember one thing. Continue tying flies as you are, but keep that fly and in five years take another look at it.” Marc did as he was told and in 1985 when he looked at the fly again it was totally different. After he started tying the feather wing patterns in 1981, his hair wing flies improved tremendously because of the precision and techniques he had to master in order to tie quality feather wing flies.
It is not easy for a guy like Marc Madore to name his favorite flies. It’s like asking a parent who their favorite child is. You couldn’t help but to love them all. However, in being forced to choose his favorites Marc selects the following:

Favorite Tying and Fishing Hair Wings
Canadian Black Dose
Thunder & Lightning (Conversion)
Green Butt “Black Bear”
Undertaker (Modified)

Favorite Classic Patterns
Mar Lodge
Jock Scott (Loved because it is so complex to be tied properly)
Green Highlander
Dusty Miller

“Picasse” tied by Marc Madore

In 1996 he caught his largest Atlantic salmon at the Blackville Pool beside Doctor’s Island.  The magnificent fish, which weighed in at 28 pounds, was caught on a fly called “Picasse” tied on a #4 hook.

Favorite Origination

A modified version of a “Carter’s Bug”, which Jerome Molloy and Bryant Freeman (Eskape Anglers) got him interested in tying. It’s not an attractive looking fly, but fishes well.

Marc, who is also a registered New Brunswick Guide, takes great pride in helping guests who come to the Miramichi to capture the elusive Atlantic salmon. He is committed to protecting the integrity of the guide and can be very vocal if he feels that guides are not living up to the expectations of what they are required to do to insure that their guests are properly cared for. Over the years he has met a lot of guides, some good, some not so good. There are the ones who will say, “This is the only way we do it”, even if they are wrong. Marc is the kind of guy that believes in what is right and he is the first to tell them that this is not the way we do it. It has to be done right, or don’t do it at all.

Andrew Murphy

Andrew is a passionate fly fisherman since the beginning of is teen year's. The north branch of the Yamaska, that he still loves to visit, especially in the winter time, schooled him while he grew up in Bromont. He visit's, as soon as he as the opportunity, the Missisquoi valley in search of mountain creeks were, from time to time, a bookie hides. But, the fish that truly drives his passion is steelhead, the anadromous rainbow trout stocked in the Great Lakes since the 1970's. With the help of his mentor, Pierre Latreille, Andrew has been targeting these winter fish for the past two year's. Whether he drift's for them in the clear creeks in Ontario or in the internationally known rivers of eastern New-York, this fish still gives him the best adrenaline rush!

On week nights, or when only a few hours of fishing present themselves, he loves to hit the pounds and rivers minutes from his home to drift dry's for unconventional specieses. He founded, with the immense help of his friend and co-fonder Étienne Marier, Three Of Trout were he intends to share his passion for the sport!

Étienne Marier 

Waters : Nicolet River, Becancour River, Aylmer Lake, St-François River.

Species : Brook trout, Sea trout, Rainbow trout, Steelhead, Brown trout, Smallmouth bass, Pike

Étienne is a young fly fisherman from Victoriaville. He fished for the first time at the age of 4 with a stick and a worm. He was introduced to fly fishing in 2010 and it became his ultimate passion. Even if he is really busy with school and his job, he goes fly fishing as often as possible, at least 50 times a year. He began fly fishing while exploring some rivers in his region, principally the Nicolet River. His favorite specie to fish is the brown trout, for the difficulty to catch her and for her beautiful colors.

Even if he prefers to fish for salmonids, he is always ready to fish for more “exotic” species.  He is consistently practicing catch and release, because there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a trophy fish swimming back to his pool after a hard fight.
