Biography Pierre Affre is an avid angler, veterinarian, conservationalist, political activist, and an eclectic and unique collector who lives in France. The interview took place in his office in Paris, just a short distance from Pont Neuf on a street where he was born. He spoke of fishing with Jack Hemingway and Charles Ritz and the changes he has seen in the health of rivers, salmon runs, and anglers over his lifetime as well as some of the environmental changes he has seen firsthand, like climate change. Pierre also shared some stores about his work with the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) and his youth, in which he was ranged internationally for fly fishing casting competitions. His office was crammed with oddities from around the world, including butterflies, Zulu masks, antique bamboo rods, and a hippo jaw bone.
