On this episode we head to Quebec to chat with David-Alexandre Chabot, the founder of Timber & Fin.
We talk mostly about David’s career life, and how it changed dramatically when the pandemic started.
Already having a business in mind, he decided to take it as an opportunity to start a company making high quality products. Starting with wood and ended up working with leather. His mission now is to create quality gear that can be passed down generations.
David-Alexandre Chabot is a former lighting designer from Quebec's Eastern Townships. Over the course of his 15 year career within the theatre industry, his passion and interest for design and the arts have consistently grown. His work has been shown across Canada and internationally, eventually earning him a Cochon d'or award for Best Lighting Design. Having recently left lighting design behind in order to focus on his true passion: fly fishing, he became frustrated by the lack of responsibly-made, high-quality gear on the market. This inspired him to start Timber&Fins, a company dedicated to crafting heirloom-quality fly fishing gear.
David was born in Quebec's Eastern Townships. His love for fishing started at a young age, when he and his brothers would spend hours throwing worms at whatever would bite.
His passion for fly fishing was ignited six years ago, when he caught his very first trout using a fly he had tied the night before. More and more fascinated with the sport with each passing day, but unable to find quality fly fishing products that were responsibly made, he was moved to create Timber&Fins. We are committed to crafting heirloom quality fly fishing gear that enhances your fishing experience and that can be passed down from one generation to the next.
