JOLAN FOREST, GUIDE

From an early age, a passion was born in Jolan, that of fly fishing. Having spent his youth fishing for Atlantic salmon at the family cottage in Bonaventure, Gaspésie, Jolan acquired a lot of knowledge at a young age with the help of his father. He knows that every detail counts and that his techniques must always be adjusted to the weather. Being charmed by the wilderness, Labrador is therefore the obvious choice for him as a fishing guide. He will be happy to meet you in this incredible territory for a second consecutive season!
