Meet Your Instructor, Flo Besson:

Florian "Flo" Besson cast his first line as a six-year old in France's stream-rich Burgundy region.  Preferring fishing to the more conventional pastime of formal education, he earned accreditation as a fly fishing guide and instructor in 1995, becoming a Master Instructor in 2000. 
He has fished throughout Europe and in the legendary waters of Montana, Key West, and Quebec's Gaspé. He moved to Tofino in 2006 for a lifestyle where both freshwater and saltwater fishing with a beautiful natural backdrop are but minutes away.
