Jacques Heroux
Aka: Salmosalar
Canada
Jacques was born in Quebec but has lived in New Brunswick for about 20 years. He started fly fishing at the early age of 10 in and around the streams and lakes of the Temiscouata region.
Jacques mostly fishes the Miramichi river system and is a professional guide in New Brunswick. His favorite angling is for salmon and he has a devoted passion for tying traditional Atlantic salmon flies. He also builds his own leaders, landing nets, and rods during winter months.
Some of Jacques favorite flies for the Miramichi are displayed on this site. He also has a lot of his flies on his personal site at www.salmosalar.info, where he offers salmon flies and displays for sale.
