Brian Thomas, Kamloops, BC: Kamloops offers almost an unlimited choice of different lakes to choose from, and lake fishing is something I enjoy immensely. But the real passion in my life is fishing with spey rods on moving waters. Part of my yearly routine finds me drifting and fishing some of the most beautiful waters in Canada on the mighty Skeena tribs. I wouldn't miss it for the world. It helps that my dream is to become a full-time stealhead bum, of course. But I spend more time on my local waters with light-weight spey rods, chasing trout.Tying my own flies helps when the rivers and lakes are iced over brings the sport full circle and continues to fuel my life-long passion for fly fishing.

Tiana Nordstrom, Alberta: Originally from the West Coast, Tiana grew up on the ocean, fishing for salmon and learned to fly fish on the interior lakes and rivers of B.C. with her family. Always lover of the outdoors, she has been fly fishing for 20 years. Tiana is an accomplished fly tier and an executive board member of the Hook and Hackle club. After moving to Alberta 10 years ago, the multitude of lakes sparked a love for early season pike and spring chironomid fishing. However, her passion lies in the perfect dry fly presentation to eager trout on the streams located in the foothills of Southern Alberta's Rocky Mountains.

Martin Poisson, Quebec: Guide and salmon fishermen for over 20 years, I have found in products of fly fishing Amundson, the qualities needed to face the Atlantic salmon in rivers. The pleasures of meeting you on the wonderful salmon rivers of the Gaspe Peninsula in Eastern Canada. La capture d'un saumon atlantique à la pêche à la mouche est un exploit en soi. La patience, une bonne compréhension des différentes techniques de présentation des mouches, la connaissance du comportement de '' salmo '' et surtout, un équipement de qualité sont des atouts nécessaire à posséder quand on se mesure à de tels spécimens. |
