Philippe Dolivet is one of Europe’s foremost fly-fishing experts and the former Chief Editor of Plaisirs de la Pêche, France’s leading fly-fishing magazine. With decades of experience spanning technique, travel, and tackle, Philippe has fished in over 35 countries — including New Zealand, the Caribbean, Argentina, the US, Canada, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Western Africa, and Asia.
His knowledge of European fly fishing is unmatched, covering species such as trout, grayling, Atlantic salmon, pike, sea bass, carp, shad, and largemouth bass. Philippe also serves as the IGFA Representative for France.
A professional guide, instructor, master caster, and passionate angler, Philippe lives with his family in Brittany — the Celtic heart of France — surrounded by pristine wilderness in Finistère County. Within minutes, he can reach wild brown trout headwaters, rainbow trout and northern pike lakes, shad fisheries, and world-class saltwater grounds for European sea bass.
Philippe offers tailored fly-fishing programs in the region, combining angling adventures with gourmet food, sightseeing, and French hospitality. Visitors can choose from a range of high-quality accommodations, from charming B&Bs to luxury hotels.
In addition to guiding in France, Philippe organizes international fly-fishing trips through Pollen Voyage, bringing anglers to some of the most exciting destinations around the world.
