About

River fishing

 

I'm originally from Scotland, now based in Telkwa, Northern BC. I have had a fly rod in my hand since I was a wee lad, first for trout and then quickly onto Atlantic salmon on various rivers throughout Scotland. This fanaticism then brought me to BC, with its wild lure and endless fishing opportunities. I spend most of my time searching for Chinook and Steelhead on the fly, all over British Columbia.

From a Product Design and manufacturing background, I am focused on bringing well made, well considered fishing products to passionate tiers and grab-chasers around the globe. 

Please feel free to contact me on info@swungflies.com for any queries you may have.

Thanks so much for the support and most importantly, tight lines! Cheers. Archie.

 

Skeena Wild Conservation Trust

 

With more of our natural, unspoiled places under greater strain, it is important that these places have a strong voice to go to bat for them.

One such cause are Skeena Wild (www.skeenawild.org), who advocate for the Skeena watershed in northwest British Columbia. Their goal is to make the Skeena River and nearby coastal communities a global model of sustainability where large human and salmon populations coexist. They work with governments, First Nations, communities and individuals to sustain the long-term health and resilience of the wild salmon ecosystems and local communities.

They provide support in habitat protection, fund research and advocate for sustainable fisheries management.
