About me

Introduction	My name is Piet and I am a fly- fishing purist. It all started in my early teens when I got my hands on my first fly rod. I had begun my fishing career with spin-fishing, that's propably what most kids begin with, but after I started fly-fishing there was no question about how I was going to catch fish in the future. Fly-tying also soon became an obsession and I am still unable to resist the temptations of a wall loaded with tying materials. Although I enjoy all sorts of fly-fishing, dry fly-fishing as well as pike fishing, if I had to name one kind of fishing then it would probably be stalking salmon and trout with a double-handed rod. My obsession with fly-fishing has reached point at which I am currently studying at the Sportfishing Academy in Forshaga, Sweden. My goal is to work in the fly-fishing business and thereby live fly-fishing - "If you have a job that you love, you will never have to work."
