Meet David
My name is David Doyle and I grew up in PEI fishing trout from a young age. In 1980, I joined the CAF and spent 27 years in uniform. My service to Canada started first as an Infantry Officer, then as a Health Services Operations Officer, and finally as a civilian manager in National Defence. In 2016, I returned to PEI and started fly fishing. Being a kayaker, I mostly fly fish the ponds, lakes and estuaries in PEI. Contacted by a friend that I had served with in Petawawa, I started the first chapter of HMOTF in PEI. With the help of a fellow Veteran and some skilled local fly-tiers, we launched the chapter in March 2025 with 11 participants. Learning to tie flies in the company of so many Veterans has brought me a sense of camaraderie and a renewed sense of purpose. I look forward to more fly-tying and fishing with this and future groups with our own flies.
