On this page you find the fishing reports that I usually make after each fishing trip. Besides flyfishing I also like photography so setting up a website with trip reports that include photo's was a natural step.
I am based in the eastern border region of the Netherlands so there most of my fishing takes place.
Since I am living so close to Germany I also fish there a lot, there a quite a few nice streams nearby where you can enjoy flyfishing on small streams and rivers. The species we catch in this part of the world are usually shiners species like Dace, Rudd, Roach and Chub along with predatory fish like Perch and Pike. Now and then we also run in to the odd stocked trout species, these are usually Brown trout and Rainbow trout but on rare occasions we also encounter Brook trout.

Visiting Germany for short or longer trips is one thing many people do around here but another favorite fishing destination not to be forgotten is Denmark. One can fish the Danish rivers for Grayling, Brown Trout and the odd Sea trout or even Salmon. My preference lies in fishing the clear saltwater of the Baltic sea for Sea trout or as visitors from other shores would call Searun browns.

If I can afford it I like to leave Europe once a year to visit the USA to try my fishing luck there. One of my favorite places surely must be Southwest Florida where I fish the local beaches and inlets for fish species such as Snook, Redfish, Jack Crevalle's. The range of fish you can catch in Florida on the fly is really impressive, combine that with the tropical climate and you know that you are in for a good time.

Saltwater flyfishing is for me one very interesting section of flyfishing. Most of the literature I had on that subject was however not based on the tropical flyfishing like I do in Florida but on the cold water fishery of the US eastern seabord. Having read so much about Stripers and Bluefish in New England a trip to that region was high on my to do list. In 2008 I finally managed to visit New England with the help of friends from the Flies and Fins website. I had an incredible time fishing the Rhode Island beaches and breakwaters for Bluefish and Stripers.

This site is a further development of my old website that ran on the servers of my old ISP. Now I have finally opted to obtain my own domain name and running a website based on the CMS system Joomla, hope you enjoy it. |
