Besides having 40 years of game, coarse and predator fishing experience, Sam also holds a research PhD in fish anatomy, biology and evolution which he received from University College London in 2002. Since January 2007, Sam has been an official 'Depositaire' selling all required freshwater fishing licenses to his clients and visiting anglers. Sam is an ardent supporter of 'catch and release' fishing, where the photograph, CD album, video, or website pic becomes the primary trophy. However, those visiting anglers who want to keep a spring salmon, bass, or shad for the table are welcome to do so. Sam operates a fully-equipped fishing operation from his boat 'Waterboy' Sam's fishing and casting talents have been showcased in UK fly fishing magazines such as Trout Fisherman and Fly Fishing and Fly Tying, Irish Angler, in French newspapers, (e.g. Le Telegramme, Le Connection and Le Progrés), on satellite channels with the French outdoors magazine, Seasons, and most recently in Finistère Passionnément, one of Brittany's finest outdoor-themed journals produced by Bretagne Magazine. Sam is also seasoned casting instructor and tournament caster with competitive experience at British and World level. In August 2005, Sam was certified by the IGFA as the 'all-tackle' and 'fly-caught' world record holder for the Allis shad which was caught in the lower reaches of the Aulne river.
