Dale Freschi
Dale loves to fish. So much so, he is one of Canada's premier fly fishermen. He has participated in 7 national and international fly fishing competitions, including 6 World Championships as a member of Canada's National Fly Fishing Team.

He first represented Canada in New Zealand in 1991, followed by Norway in 1994. At that competition, Dale finished 17th out of 150 anglers and the Canadian Team finished 12th out of 30 countries competing.

He followed that up with successful Worlds in 1995 in Ireland, 1996 in Italy, and 1997 in Wyoming, where he was the top Canadian finishing 24th overall and with the team finishing 8th.

In addition to competing for Canada worldwide, Dale has made a significant contribution to the sport of fly fishing by conducting seminars, appearing on sport fishing T.V. programs and writing numerous articles on fishing in sport magazines.
