Bernard Yin celebrates the struggle between diverse interests. Fly Fishing, Music, Surfing and the great outdoors.Let's start with the fishing: Bernard had a great mentor: Andre Puyans of Northern California's legendary Creative Sports Fly Shop. Decades later he worked at the Fishermens Spot in Van Nuys, CA; reuniting with one of his Creative Sports cohorts Ken Lindsay. Then, later, while taking a break from rock and roll, Bernard guided in the Yosemite and Kings Canyon region. All of this surrounding an ongoing fascination with struggling So Cal trout populations. Recently, to satisfy his need to "do good deeds for fish", Bernard has been taking drone footage of California waters to assist CalTrout's dam removal agenda. Top it off, he and his wife Rebecca were recruited as Ambassadors for CalTrout and did a social media takeover with images from So Cal's delicate wild trout waters in both times of good and bad.Got Music? Bernard's history in bands and other musical projects spans over 30 years and in his own words is "too exhausting to recount so let's focus on the present ok?". The group Bernard currently shares with his wife Rebecca, PAR AVION, was recently part of the rollout of the documentary: Birth Of Endless Summer - a documentary about the inspiration behind the original iconic Bruce Brown film and surfing pioneer Dick Metz. PAR AVION is a surf influenced band and performs mostly in Southern California but has toured also ventured to such places as Mexico, France, Italy, and Puerto Rico. During the pandemic, they shifted focus to recording for film and tv licensing although now, live gigs are increasing rapidly. They are proud of their diverse supporters and as a result have found themselves performing at everything from the Lightning in a Bottle festival to the Tiki Oasis festival to, yep, Fly Fishing events such as the California Fly Fishing Open on the Kern River.Learn more about your ad choices.
