    Recognized as one of the top distance fly and bait casting experts in Canada and around the world, Gordon Deval has held every major Canadian distance fly and bait casting title throughout his life. Now in his late 70s, he shows no signs of slowing down, authoring several books on fishing and cooking, being featured in instructional videos and serving as the president of the Scarborough Fly and Bait Casting Association, which he founded in 1985. 

     

    Holding more than 100 national, international and world records for his fishing and casting, he was also the first president of the Canadian Casting Association. As one of only 200 people to receive the prestigious Bi-Centennial Civic Award of Merit from the old City of Scarborough, Deval is now recognized again as one of Scarborough's premier sportsmen with a permanent star on the Walk of Fame.

     

    Having taught his craft to thousands of aspiring fisherman over the last 60 years, Deval has truly left his mark on the fishing community and the city ofScarborough.
