In a world where everything moves faster and faster, fishing remains a means of escape and well-being that I invite you to share. Come and fish with me on the Ile de Ré for the mythical sea bass, using one of the noblest fishing techniques: fly fishing.

This one-day sea bass fishing course on the Ile de Ré is designed for people who want to get off to a good start in fly fishing, by learning the basics and progressing quickly to become independent at the end of the course.

Contrary to popular belief, you don't need a lot of experience to start fly fishing. I'll also teach you how to get a good read on the water, recognise fish and discover their way of life on the Ile de Ré.
