It was in 1990 that Desfossés invented the "Saguay", a streamer for fishing bass. "I wanted to create a fly using a lot of fluorescent materials: I believe that bass are attracted to what is very visible. I named this streamer "Saguay" in honor of Saguay Lafond, the son of a cousin living in Shawinigan." "Saguay" is an Indian word meaning: "the beginning of a river". This streamer, Philippe Desfossés usually throws it into the rapids and lets it drift, before bringing it back by jerks when it passes near the rocks, where the bass are on the lookout for prey.
