Francois Blanchet

Oringinally from Quebec, Francois Blanchet is fluent in both English and French. Despite his young age, Frank has 5 years guiding experience in the Whistler area and has been a fulltime guide for the last 4 years. He is an incredibly skilled flycaster and is a certified casting instructor with the FFF. An accomplished speycaster, Frank is very much a student of technique. It is with the discipline of his martial arts background that Frankie has approached speycasting and the result is he is considered one of the cleanest casters around. Frank has the ability to make anyone laugh and is a truly awesome guide and instructor. Frank spent the summer of 2004 guiding on the famous Cascepedia River in Quebec where he opened many eyes with our western technique and modern approach to casting and fishing two handed rods. Always a hit with the ladies Frank is a classic French romantic and brings this same passion to his casting.
