Sébastien LEPAGE

North of France. Freshwater fisherman.

I am originally from Lorraine , a land of rivers, shaped by the Meuse , the Moselle and the Meurthe-et-Moselle . It was there, along these tranquil waters, that my passion for fishing took root. Like many, I started young, fishing for whitefish with a line on bait, quite simply. A rod, a float, and that first unique sensation: that of being connected to the water.

At 10 years old, my curiosity naturally pushed me towards other techniques, more refined, more strategic. That's when I discovered dead bait fishing for zander . It was a turning point. I liked the analysis, the precision, the game of anticipation. And quickly, I found a new opponent who lived up to my desire for challenges: the catfish . Since then, this powerful and unpredictable fish has become my favorite target, the one that pushes me to reinvent myself with each session.

Fishing is part of my daily life, of my balance. And today, I experience it differently, in particular thanks to another awareness: exposure to the sun . Spending hours on the water, in full sun, also means exposing yourself to very real risks. That's why I'm proud to be an OUTWATER ambassador : because protecting yourself is not an option, it's a condition for lasting.

UPF50+ technical clothing, caps, gloves, polarized sunglasses… Everything is designed for comfort , protection , but also style . Today, I no longer go to the water's edge without my OUTWATER gear. It has become as essential as my fishing equipment.

Sharing my passion, exchanging, and passing on knowledge are what I love most. So perhaps one day, we'll meet by a river or on a float tube, protected from the sun but fully exposed to the best nature has to offer.
