La Pêche a la mouche avec mon ami Léo

Fly fishing the French Alps with Léo and Noémie


Cruising in the river with Léo and Noémie!  
En route dans la riviere avec Léo et Noémie!


Le moucheur38 a sa passion, 10 secondes après une belle truite ! 
Léo at it again with his passion, 10 seconds after he said "There will be a trout" bam, he caught one (below)! 




Noémie apprend a lancer!  
Noémie learns to cast with just 3 meters of line!  


At the end, I caught 2 nice browns (pictured) with the help of Léo's guidance on French style nymph fishing, always learning!
Léo's son was a big help and is starting his guiding career, he could help you if you want to discover the French Alps fly fishing experience.  His name is Fabien Caterina and his website is www.immersionpeche.com

Finalement, j'en a attrapé deux grace a Léo mon prof de la mouche aux Alpes!
Son fils est également un super prof et guide de pêche a la mouche, Fabien Caterina a www.immersionpeche.com !

La Vézère: A beautiful "coin" in France

 La Vézère upon arrival.  First day of testing my Tenkara, caught one on a dry just up from here.  Thank you to my friend Emmanuel for showing me such a special spot.

 Here is Emmanuel's 2 fish on the dry.  He took 3 in the same spot about 4-6", little brownies sipping spinners :)  

 Here is a close up, check those colors out!  They have some real definition, darker than most browns.  #keepemwet

 Big fins, little fish, is that 2x tippet?  no way, but the photo makes it look huge, 5x thin thin tippet.

That whole fish action, colors, this is why I love this sport so much.  Thank you again Emmanuel for an awesome day!  Great friend.

Chichester, Engaland ! Hilty's Voyage accross the Manche!


Tom, Kate and Hilty: Day after arrival to Chi!

Pre New Years Party, early afternoon.  Tom's friends Sunny in front, with Ben and his girlfriend!  Of course Kate and Tom!  We were warmly welcomed into this home with cold liters of beer.


This is just funny.

Matt Meyer and Hilty
Matt explained to me that this is where they take measurements for topographical maps in Sussex.  Awesome with the sunset.  Reppin' that Georgetown Brewery!


Yours truly and the 12th man Tom!  Apparently I ate something green, or the camera picked up some cool light.


And of course, after a few more pints, what's funnier than taking a picture of me with my eyes closed.  Courtesy Thomas Meyer.
Nice chemise: courtesy Danny Cornutt!
  

Back in Bordeaux cruising the river.
Behind me was this sick mural!
