BFF™ fly fishing tackle selections

Our selections bring together all the best products by fishing technique category.

Created by Philippe Dolivet, a professional fishing guide, they will help you choose from a wide range of rods, reels, lines, tippet materials, leaders and flies, not forgetting essential and specific accessories such as shooting/stripping baskets, waterproof packs, tools and landing nets.

Don't hesitate to contact me directly by email or telephone if you'd like to know more about the use of a particular product and the relevance of your choice to your fishing practices, the configuration of your fishing grounds and the profile of the species present (densities, sizes, habitats).

The eight selections relate to specialities of our passion sport that I have mastered for many years and that I teach as part of my coaching, guiding and travel services.
