It's one of those places in the world that will leave deep prints in your fly-fishing mind! Gin-clear waters, breathtaking scenery, and strong, sea-running char that will nail down your fly on the surface!

Three degrees and pouring rain. That's exactly what awaits us outside the plane on this old US Airbase…
“Cast there,” Fabian says as he works the oars to hold the raft in place. It’s a shadowy inlet under a tree with logs scattered below the surface. The black sex-dungeon lands in a pocket of dark, crystal clear water and I strip once, twice and then boom, the take. “Muy bien”. A hungry brown trout…
I remember a story my dad told me about when he fell in love with fishing. He was as young as you can be to really hold a memory, fishing with his mom. They had the ol tried and true hook and worm, and while everyone was catching blue gill, he hooked into a nice…
As someone who loves to fly fish, but also design and code, Joost set out to build an online fly fishing platform. In 2022, flyfishcircle.com was launched. The latest addition is the FlyFish Circle Boutique: a platform where you can buy flies directly from fly tyers. We thought it would be interesting to interview the…
The term “Euro Nymphing” gets thrown around a lot these days. As per usual with any fly fishing technique, everyone has their ideas about how it should be practised. Unfortunately, there are so many ideas being thrown around that it is hard to know what to listen to. In this article, I am going to…
“F**%^$CK YES!!!!” had no sooner left my mouth in a scream at the same time as I sank to my knees with my arms outstretched above my head in a remote creek of Montana. The cutthroat trout of a lifetime had just been scooped in the net. It took a number of minutes to actually land this monster…

My favorite fishing destinations will make me feel slightly uncomfortable. Places that I hide the money I carry with me in two different locations—maybe a third somewhere…
Two former Dutch executives and fly fishermen, an IT-development team, and a group of investors have come together and spent the last three years developing their very own, customized streaming platform in order to showcase the very best fly fishing content; from films and podcasts to books and magazines. The streaming platform is now available,…

Providence. The far western Seychelles. As remote as it gets. 438 miles south-west of the capital, Mahe and about a million miles from anywhere. This wild and stunningly beautiful atoll was first discovered in 1501 by Portuguese explorer Joao da Nova, and it is just about as pristine now as it was five hundred long year…
Sardinia is a rather remote Italian island in the middle of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Not many fly fishermen know about Sardinia and the fish species encountered there, but with fishing possibilities both inland and offshore – and loads to do and see - it’s a destination that ought to be on more people’s bucket lists.…
