Your fishing guide
My 30-year passion for fishing was developed on childhood fishing trips with my grandparents and parents.
The passion has been matched by another enthusiasm: outdoor cooking. I am educated as both a chef and a fishing guide. I throw myself wholeheartedly into what I do.
I'm happy to relive fishing moments like my childhood memories and share them with you.
I respect nature and uphold the principles of sustainable fishing.
Nature, family and living meaningful moments are important to me.

"The guidance was of a very high quality.
The knowledge of the place was excellent and the equipment was appropriate and easy to use.
catches and bites were alot, and fishing was easy and enjoyable.
The guidance was so well controlled that the fishing went smoothly in more challenging conditions and with more careful baiting than on its own."
