Brian Chan is the public face of B.C. fly fishing. He is renowned for his expertise in Stillwater fly fishing techniques and is a regular guest on TV fishing shows and exhibitions throughout North America. As a biologist, his knowledge of entomology and the trout's feeding habits is second to none.
Phil Rowley is one of Canada's premiere fly fishermen. He has a regular presence on the 24-hr fishing channel WFN, as the host of the New Fly Fisher. Many consider his first fly tying book, Fly Patterns for Stillwaters, a must-have for any serious fly tier.
Rich Strolis is my favorite river fly fisherman. In Connecticut, where he guides on the Farmington and Housatonic rivers, Rich lives and breathes fly fishing. He is an exceptional tier and a great teacher. He shares many of his favorite patterns through informative, easy-to-follow videos on his website.

About Us
Jim (Prude) Prudhomme moved to Kelowna, after a career in the Canadian Army and the United Nations, to pursue his life long passion - fly fishing. His goal is to share this passion with others.
Prude grew up in Ontario and spent his youth angling for smallmouth bass, pike and pickerel on the lakes of the Ottawa Valley. He has since fished in many interesting locations worldwide, but considers the lakes and rivers of British Columbia to be second to none.
As the President of the local fishing club, The Kelowna Lonely Loon Flyfishers' Society, and a member of the Board of Directors of the British Columbia Fly Fishing Federation (BCFFF), Prude is actively involved in efforts to conserve and enhance our precious aquatic resources – the salmon and trout of British Columbia.
Henley, also known as The Grouch, assists on some of the angling trips. Having grown up in the Big Apple, Henley has a "New York" kind of attitude. If he is not growling at you, something's amiss. Because of this, Henley is rarely allowed to take clients out on his own!

Prude has taken the Orvis Endorsed River Guide and Drift Boat Operator courses in Colorado, and has guided for Douglas Lake Ranch and Moose Lake Lodge in British Columbia. He now operates as a Licensed Angling Guide in the Okanagan and Thompson-Nicola regions of BC, specializing in fly fishing excursions to mountain lakes or streams.
