Young Local, Tyler Boileau Talks Fishing

By Molly Kett

wenty-one-year-old Tyler Boileau is
Tcurrently enrolled in his second year
of Police Foundations at St Lawrence
College in Cornwall, works during the
summer at Rosedale Mechanical doing
sheet metal, and spends plenty of his spare

time fishing - a hobby Boileau loves.
“I love the thrill of not knowing what I
am going to reel in on my line, and I love
being on the water,” says Boileau.

Boileau’s earliest memory of fishing is

when he was eight. “I remember getting
a fish hook caught in my cheek,” says

Boileau. “I remember my grandfather
pulled out the hook from my cheek after
I had cried for a little while. That did not

stop me from fishing after the hook was
removed from my cheek.”
Getting hooked in the cheek may not fall

under Boileau’s fondest fishing memories,
but catching walleye does. “I had never

caught such big fish in my life and seeing
the big walleye come out of the water felt
so good,” says Boileau. “I am used to
only catching bass and perch.”

Boileau’s favourite place to fish is a

local spot, on a boat out on St. Lawrence
River. “It is so relaxing being out on the
boat listening to some good country music
with my line in the water,” says Boileau.

For those who don’t understand

Boileau’s love for fishing and need a bit
of convincing to give it a shot, Boileau
would tell them “that there is nothing more
exciting than hooking onto a big fish. I

would also tell them that they only need

to try fishing once and they’ll be hooked.”
