De Rîves en Dérives
France 🇫🇷
Nicolas’s connection to fishing traces back to his childhood—a passion inherited not from his father or grandfather, but from his mother and grandmother. The rivers of Hérault and Tarn were his first classrooms, where he learned the art of fishing. Over 35 years later, his grandmother’s advice still guides him as he continues to refine his techniques.
Fly Fishing: A Way of Life
For Nicolas, fly fishing is more than a hobby; it’s a lifestyle. He has spent years mastering techniques like dry fly fishing, driven by a fascination with nature. Observing insect behavior, studying fish patterns, and analyzing how weather and geology affect fishing conditions are at the heart of his craft.
Guiding in Hérault: Fulfilling a Dream
Nicolas’s journey was shaped by two childhood passions: nature and sports. After completing his scientific education, he pursued degrees in social careers and sports management, eventually specializing in Outdoor Activities Management. Yet, he yearned to share his knowledge with others.
Turning Passion into Purpose
To make this dream a reality, Nicolas earned multiple certifications. He joined the training team at Creps de Montpellier, helping shape the next generation of outdoor leaders. Today, his favorite setting remains Hérault, where he guides fly fishers, shares his expertise, and showcases the region’s beauty through his guiding services.
