Antoine Bissieux is bringing World Flyfishing champion Bertrand Jacquemin from France to CT to do 9 days of clinics in mid to late October. These full day clinics will focus on Sight Fishing & Dry/Dropper fishing. Bertrand started competing in 1998, joined the French team in 2004 and competed with them for 11 years, winning 11 medals, with four of them being gold. He also spent four years as the team captain. In case you don’t know, the French team is the best in the world, possibly sharing that distinction with the Spanish team. Basically, once he spots a trout, the fish is caught.
These clinics are unique opportunity to spend time and learn from literally one of the best in the world at flyfishing for trout. To go to France and spend a day with him would likely cost you close to $5,000 once you figured in traveling, lodging, food, and all your other expenses, so these clinics are truly a great value. Classes will be held from October 16 to 27, with most of those being six person classes at a cost of $450. October 24 will be one larger class of 12P at $300 each, and there will be extra guides to help out with the instruction that day. The 6P classes will be Bertrand & Antoine. Call Antoine directly at 860-759-4464 to sign up.
