birthday pike
Saturday was my birthday… but since my job involves a lot of interaction with people, I was not in the mood for a big party, I was longing for a full day of fishing: Just fishing, no hurrying to get home, no phonecalls to do, […]
video: pike-session in the danube river
I love fishing for river pike! They are strong and beautiful, and casting a streamer into a river is so much more fun than casting into a lake. This video records a short pike session on the river Danube. The weather was pretty ugly, the […]
Wetterwechsel
Lange fühlte sich der Oktober eher nach Spätsommer an – und das Äschenfischen ein wenig sonderbar… normalerweise stehe ich dick eingepackt wie ein Teddybär am Wasser, es ist nass, kalt, neblig. Diesen Oktober war eher Tshirt angesagt, meine normalen Äschenmuster funktionierten nicht wie gewohnt….ich wünschte […]
grayling season
Fall is here, with warm days, golden trees and beautiful graylings. Such a sunday afternoon is hard to beat!
Letzte Chance

summer carp
CARP! Another one of those fish species, I haven’t yet given much attention and slowly getting the feeling that I have missed some excellent fishing! Especially now, when summer is reaching its peak, it is warm and sunny, those carps are getting really active! The […]
angry waters
Do I have an offroad car? No… “Alright, then we’ll take mine”, says Patrick on the phone. A few hours later, we are sitting in his car, crawling along a narrow path on a steep hillside towards the Wutach Gorge. The name of the river […]
