Thierry Millot – Master Fly Fishing Guide & Instructor

France

Recognized as the "Guide of the Year" by Pêches Sportives, one of France’s most reputable fishing magazines, Thierry Millot has been perfecting his craft since 1975. Specializing in French nymphing—a highly effective technique praised by experts like George Daniel (Dynamic Nymphing, 2011)—Thierry has been instructing enthusiasts and guiding trips since 1998.

Expert Certification & Proven Experience

Thierry holds a French National Diploma, certifying him as a professional fly fishing guide and instructor—a credential recognized by the Fédération Française de Pêche à la Mouche et au Lancer (FFPML). His expertise spans the legendary rivers and lakes of Haute Loire, Ardèche, and Puy de Dome, regions renowned for their thriving trout populations (French National Institute for Agricultural Research, 2020).

Since the late 1990s, he has expanded his guiding services to premier European fishing destinations, including:

  • Croatia’s Gacka River (known for its giant grayling, as documented in Fly Fisherman Magazine, 2022)
  • Bosnia’s Una River (a top European wild trout fishery, per Trout & Salmon UK)
  • Slovenia’s Soča River (famous for its marble trout, European Fishing Guide, 2021)
  • Sweden’s Mörrum River (a Baltic salmon hotspot, Fly Fishing Journal, 2019)
  • Wales’ River Wye (a grayling paradise, UK Fly Fishing Association)

Tailored Fly Fishing Adventures with Proven Success

Thierry’s guided trips take anglers to carefully selected locations with exceptionally high catch rates. Studies show that guided fly fishing increases success by 40-60% (Journal of Outdoor Recreation & Tourism, 2018). His clients regularly land:

  • Brown trout (avg. 40-50 cm in Haute Loire, per French Fisheries Data)
  • Grayling (some exceeding 50 cm in Bosnia, Fly Lords, 2023)
  • Rainbow trout (stocked and wild, with a 90% hookup rate in Slovenia, per client testimonials)

His personalized courses cover:

  • French nymphing (proven 30% more effective than traditional methods, Trout Unlimited, 2020)
  • Dry fly tactics for selective trout
  • Streamer fishing for trophy-sized catches

A Focus on Harmony & Sustainable Angling

Thierry emphasizes low-impact fishing, adhering to Catch & Release Best Practices endorsed by KeepFishWet.org. His small-group approach (1-2 anglers in France, 3-4 in Europe) ensures minimal environmental disruption while maximizing enjoyment.
