Meet our Pro Staff

Lance Renoux

Chucking Feathers

I have tied flies for the past 12 years developing my style blending old school techniques and new materials for a variety of species, both saltwater and freshwater. I have lived and fished in the Southeast US along with the Pacific Northwest. I currently live in Southeast Louisiana, focusing my tying and fishing for gulf species and tying for local shops. I tie baitfish patterns along with shrimp and crab for pelagic species, large streamers for predatory species such as brown trout and pike.

I am currently on the pro staff for Finatics Fly Company, Nature’s Spirit Fly Tying, Temple Fork Outfitters, and UV Craft.

Professional fly tyer since 2020
Pro staff for the following companies:
Finatics Fly Company, Squimpish, Veevus, Daiichi, Uvcraft
I enjoy being different than my competitors and trying new things. One species I target more than any other is largemouth. They can be quite challenging depending on conditions and locations, making me tie different between scenarios. I truly believe that’s what makes me a great tyer.

Goose Guides Flies

A multi-species angler, conservationist, not profit volunteer, fish bum, guide, and card carrying member of the Leaking Wader Club. Settling in the Ozark, I have learned from some of the most talented tyers across the country who have graciously taken their time to put up with me. After ten years in the sport, all I have to show for it are some cool pictures and som cheeseburgers LOL -GOOSE
