Introduction: The Joy of Fishing in Devon

Fishing is a rewarding way to spend a day, whether you’re an experienced angler seeking a new challenge or a beginner eager to learn. The Torbay area, with its stunning lakes and coastline, offers endless opportunities for a memorable day on the water.

Meet Your Guide

With over 40 years of fishing experience in the South West, I’m passionate about sharing my expertise with others. Whether you’re a family looking for a fun outdoor activity, an individual seeking solitude, or a school or work group planning a team outing, I’ll help you make the most of your time on the water.

Specialties and Expertise

My personal favorite is light tackle sea angling, an exhilarating experience for any angler. However, I enjoy all forms of fishing and have even authored eight books on the subject. My latest, Fly Fishing – the Tug on the Line, is a great resource for those interested in fly fishing for trout and other freshwater and marine species.

Key Highlights:

  • Ultralight fly fishing for carp – A unique and exciting challenge
  • Guiding and workshops – Tailored for families, groups, and individuals
  • Published author – 8 books on fishing techniques and adventures

De Rîves en Dérives
France 🇫🇷

A Lifelong Passion for Fishing

Nicolas’s deep connection to fishing began in his early childhood, nurtured not by a father or grandfather but by his mother and grandmother. The rivers of Hérault and Tarn were his first classrooms, where he learned the art of angling. Even after 35 years, his grandmother’s wisdom still guides him as he continues to refine his craft and explore new techniques.

Fly Fishing: More Than a Hobby, a Way of Life

For Nicolas, fly fishing is not just a pastime—it’s a philosophy. He has spent years mastering its intricacies, particularly dry fly fishing, immersing himself in the rhythms of nature. His approach goes beyond technique; he studies insect behavior, fish movements, and the subtle interplay of weather and geology on aquatic ecosystems.

From Passion to Profession

Nicolas’s journey was shaped by two childhood loves: nature and sport. After a scientific education, he pursued studies in social careers and sports management, eventually earning a degree in Outdoor Activities Management. Yet, he yearned to share his expertise with others.

To turn this dream into reality, he obtained professional certifications and joined the training team at Creps de Montpellier, helping shape the next generation of outdoor guides. Today, his greatest joy lies in introducing others to the magic of fly fishing in his beloved Hérault region, where he offers guided experiences that blend skill, passion, and local knowledge.

Explore the Rivers of Hérault

Nicolas’s playground is a network of stunning rivers, perfect for honing techniques like dry fly presentation. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, his guidance ensures an unforgettable adventure.

Expertise in Targeting Key Species

De Rîves en Dérives specializes in fly fishing for:

  • Brown Trout
  • Grayling

With Nicolas’s deep understanding of these species and their habitats, every outing becomes a masterclass in precision and respect for nature.
