About the Author

My name is Jocelyn LeBlanc. I am an Atlantic salmon angler, fly tyer, guide with more than 25 years of experience, and the owner of The Feather Shed.

​

Atlantic salmon have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I have watched our rivers change, salmon returns decline, and the challenges facing this remarkable species continue to grow. Those experiences inspired me to create Deep In Backing.

​

This blog is not about claiming to have all the answers. It is a place where I share field observations, research, data, and personal reflections on Atlantic salmon conservation and river management.

My goal is simple: to encourage thoughtful discussion, promote evidence-based conservation, and help ensure that future generations will still have the opportunity to witness wild Atlantic salmon returning to their home rivers.

​

Because protecting Atlantic salmon is about far more than fishing—it's about preserving a natural legacy for generations to come.
