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.

Julien has been flyfishing since the young age of 5, his knowledge brings a unique approach to the our great sport, his experience in fishing the crystalline rivers of the Haute-Savoie (France) is a great asset to us.

From the time Marc first learned about the sport of fishing he absolutely loved it. Most of his youth was spent fishing along the rivers and lakes near Timmins, Ontario.
Drainage/Rivers:
Species: Atlantic Salmon, Sea run brook trout
As he got older he turned his attention to fly-fishing and being a perfectionist he wanted quality flies for angling, but believed it would be more cost effective if he tied his own. The reality is that Marc’s interest in fly tying was drawn by the fascination of the flies and the challenge in making them. That fascination was so strong that once it made its way into his heart he’s never had a desire to let it go. Experimenting with materials and patterns, and the challenges that comes with it brings to him an excitement, love and passion that he needed. “Tying flies is terrific fun and a heck of a great way to relax and relieve stress”, says Marc.
After finishing high school he attended Scholar Hall College in North Bay, Ontario. He joined the Armed Forces in 1961 and made his way to a number of places throughout the world. He eventually settled down in Hamilton, Ontario for a while before coming to New Brunswick.
Most of Marc’s influence in fly tying came from his very close friend, the late Garnet “Red” Tweedie, from Burton, New Brunswick. There were others who influenced Marc in dressing feather wing flies. He always respected Poul Jorgenson, but has had lots of fun and enjoyed the many times he tied flies with the Master and World Champion Fly Tyer, Jerome Molloy from Saint John, New Brunswick. Marc credits Jerome with being the one who polished his skills.
Marc, who is recognized as a professional Fly Tyer in North America and Europe, Never sought recognition as such, but the recognition is certainly warranted when one reviews his accomplishments and talent in the art of fly dressing. His work has been presented in Fly Fishing and outdoors magazines and books such as Modern Atlantic Salmon Flies and in Shrimp and Spey Flies for Salmon and Steelhead (Stackpole Books). He is also featured on the Internet at: Castle Arms Fishermen’s Furs and Feathers by Phil Castleman www.castlearms.com & Fly Anglers on Line (FAOL) www.flyanglersonline.com
In 2001 Marc was commissioned by the Province of New
Brunswick to tie a Classic Miramichi fly when the Miramichi Celtic Pipes and
Drums Band went to England and Scotland. To commemorate the occasion he
created the “Miramichi Viking”. It was presented on behalf of the Miramichi
River Valley to Queen Elizabeth II, His Royal Highness, Prince Charles, The
Prince of Whales and many other dignitaries in Scotland. It has since been
presented to President, George Bush and his father, George Bush Sr. The
local newspaper “The Miramichi Leader” did a special feature on this fly on
October 2, 2001.
