Italy reveals itself in quiet, unhurried moments - sunlight spilling over ancient vineyards, the gentle flow of a river, and the warmth of a countryside inn. It’s a place where life embodies la dolce vita - the sweet life - where time naturally slows, inviting you to savor every detail.

I am so excited to announce that I have taken on the role of Editorial Director for H2O Magazine!  This new endeavour will be a wonderful platform to continue to champion fly fishing and all the wonderful destinations we have here in Canada and the United States.

Six days in the backcountry of Newfoundland, alongside my dear friend Wes, brought me face-to-face with the beauty and intensity of moose hunting.

There are those days out on the water when you just know you're going to catch what you came for. It's the same feeling I had on some race days as a cyclist-lining up my bike, anticipating that starter's gun, and knowing, without a shadow of a doubt, that the race was mine to win. 

Settling into my seat on yet another flight bound for a fishing trip, i’ve grown accustomed to the curious glances and quizzical expressions often thrown my way. Those looks are usually accompanied by the questions, “Where are you headed?”

I recently got back from an unforgettable jungle fly fishing trip with a group of clients who were experiencing the jungle for the first time. Watching their responses to the raw beauty and untamed wildness of the jungle was nothing short of magical. It felt like I was seeing it all for the first time again, through their eyes. The excitement on their faces as they landed their first golden dorado was absolutely priceless.

Where the massive Ndogo Lagoon meets the Atlantic Ocean, lies a fly-fishing paradise like no other – Sette Cama, Gabon. This spectacular destination offers anglers an unparalleled opportunity to pursue numerous saltwater species, including some of the world’s largest tarpon, all while immersing themselves in its richness or wildlife, culture, and community spirit.
