"De Rîves en Dérives: A Lifelong Passion for Fly Fishing in France’s Wild Rivers"

A Childhood Bond with Nature

"De Rîves en Dérives: A Lifelong Passion for Fly Fishing in France's Wild Rivers"

Nicolas’s deep connection to fishing began in his earliest years—not through the traditional father-son lineage, but through the women in his life. His mother and grandmother introduced him to the tranquil rivers of Hérault and Tarn, where he first cast his line. Decades later, their wisdom still guides him as he refines his craft across diverse fishing techniques.

Fly Fishing: More Than a Hobby, a Way of Life
For Nicolas, fly fishing transcends mere recreation—it’s a philosophy. Years of dedication have honed his skills, particularly in dry fly fishing, where patience and precision meet artistry. His approach is rooted in deep observation: studying insect patterns, deciphering fish behavior, and unraveling how weather and terrain shape the perfect catch.

From Passion to Profession: A Dream Fulfilled
Two childhood loves—nature and sport—propelled Nicolas’s journey. After a scientific education, he ventured into social careers and sports management, eventually earning a degree in Outdoor Activities Management. Yet, his true calling emerged: sharing his expertise with others, transforming his passion into a guiding light for fellow anglers.

Certified Expertise on Hérault’s Waters
To turn his vision into reality, Nicolas pursued rigorous certifications and joined Creps de Montpellier’s training team, helping mold the next generation of outdoor leaders. Today, his favorite classroom is the Hérault region, where he leads fly fishers through its breathtaking rivers, blending instruction with storytelling to unveil the soul of his homeland.

"From Police Officer to Fly Fishing Mentor: Jay Engel’s Journey with Saw Mill Fly Casting"

After two decades of serving as a police officer, Jay Engel decided to channel his lifelong passion for fly fishing into something extraordinary—sharing it with others. From an early age, Jay was captivated by angling, but it was the art of fly casting that truly captured his heart. This technique, which uses the weight of the fly line to cast over varying distances, became his new obsession. Drawing inspiration from his rowing background, Jay compares the precision and skill of fly casting to the discipline of using a rowing machine, elevating it as a standalone sport within the broader world of fly fishing.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, Jay took his passion to the next level by completing the prestigious L.L.Bean Fly Fishers International Casting Instructor Preparation Course in May 2019. Under the guidance of world-renowned caster Macauley Lord, he honed his craft and is now on the path to earning his Casting Instructor (CI) certification from Fly Fishers International.

In November 2019, Jay turned his vision into reality with the launch of Saw Mill Fly Cast, a venture dedicated to introducing beginners to the exhilarating sport of fly casting. He sees it as more than just a hobby—it’s a lifelong pursuit that, with just a few lessons, can open doors to fishing adventures across the globe. Deeply committed to giving back, Jay is particularly passionate about supporting individuals with disabilities, first responders, and veterans coping with PTSD, drawing from his own experiences and the healing power of fishing.
