You know, whether you're just dipping your toes into fly fishing or you've been at it for years, I'd love to share what I've picked up along the way—especially here in Aveyron and Lozère. There’s something about these places—the way the light hits the water in the Lot valley near Espalion, the quiet hum of the rivers—that just pulls you in. And trust me, we’ll have a blast doing it.

I’ve lost count of the spots I’ve fished around here, but each one’s got its own quirks. Some stretches are lazy and slow, others practically sprint over the rocks, and the truites fario? Absolute stunners. Doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie or a seasoned hand—I’ll get you onto water where the fish practically beg to be caught.

When we’re out there, we’ll play it by ear. Dry flies one day, nymphing the next—whatever the river’s in the mood for. And yeah, we’ll talk about reading the water, because honestly, that’s half the battle. There’s this one bend near Espalion where the trout stack up under the overhangs like they’re waiting in line. No idea why, but it’s magic when you figure it out.

Bring your friends, too. Fishing’s better with company, and I’ve got a list of post-catch spots—pubs with the kind of charcuterie boards that’ll make you forget how many flies you lost. Need tips on where to stay or what else to see? Just ask. I’ve been around long enough to know which villages are worth the detour.

Oh, and if you’re after brown trout, grayling, or rainbows? That’s my bread and butter. There’s nothing like the way a grayling fights the current—feels like it’s got something to prove.

Anyway, drop me a line. I’ll even spill my favorite fly-tying trick if you’re nice about it.
