Rob Faubert
The 'Rob Faubert Show' is what happens when he is on the oars for the day. Non stop comedy. Rob enthusiastically embraces everything about fly fishing, being on rivers, and just being alive. Rob is a professional photographer by day, and is responsible for most of the stellar images on Algonquin Fly Fishing's website. See his outdoor and fly fishing photography at Holeriders.com and find him on Instagram @holerider.
Tim Demmons
Tim spends more time fishing than anyone. Spring brook trout in Algonquin Park and then musky the rest of the summer! Tim has guided canoe trips in the park for 20 years, and is a high school science teacher in the winter. There is not a bird call, song or chirp that he can't recognize!
