Daniel was born in 1961 in the Province of Quebec, Canada. He has been tying flies since 1984 and since then his passion for fly tying has never stopped increasing.
The first feather wing salmon fly Daniel ever saw was tied by Paul Bean, (deceased in 2001), a well known world-wide fly tyer. He created salmon flies like the First Lady Rosalynn, the Princess Diana and the Redford for the actor Robert Redford. As Daniel puts it, "I had those flies in my mind until 1997 when I bought the book Flies for Atlantic salmon by Dick Stewart and Farrow Allen. When I opened the first pages of the book, I saw 8 beautiful classics featherwing salmon flies ties by Ron Allcott. I cannot say how much time I looked at those flies, but this was the beginning of my fly tying career.

It is my desire to show on these web pages some of the flys of yesterday and compare them to the flys of today. I am not trying to make a judgement as to which flies are better I am only trying to show the infinite possibilities of tying the classics today. I hope this would be pleasing to both past and present Classic Salmon Fly tiers.
