Clément has been guiding trips professionally the past 3 years, semi professionally for the past 8 years and has been addicted to fishing since he was 6 years old. Now 32 years old his love of the sport is in the peak of its cultivation. This passion was passed down to him from his father, who stood by his side as he caught his first trout on the fly in Ireland at the age of 6 (Yes, in his memory it was indeed he who was holding the rod!). From then on he was hit hard by this beautiful virus that is fishing. Having tested a number of techniques, he has always remained attracted and passionate about fly fishing. After a stint as an engineer for a couple of years, he decided to shift gears and study at guide school. 3 years later he is an expert at passing his knowledge down to you, his client, by sharing moments at the water's edge.
