"Chris"

When fly fishing becomes an obsession. For as long as he can remember, Chris has been involved with fishing. He came into contact with the fly rod when he was sixteen. On the contrary - after he was fed up with buying flies or the ones he needed didn't get, he decided to tie them himself. He continues to do so to this day with very successful patterns. In addition to two-handed and streamer fishing, nymph fishing counts to his favorite. He spends almost every free minute by the water around his to imitate scaled "friends".

My name is Marc Schweizer. I am 33 years old and I live in the Swiss Alps. I have been fishing ever since I can remember, however the past 10 years I have been pretty exclusively fly fishing with a single handed rod. In my holidays I have fished in diverse fishing destinations and caught
a variety of fish. My favorite fish are trouts and graylings. I have been tying my own flies since the beginning and have developed a few patterns for my personal use. The excitement of developing new patterns and the creative use of different materials has inspired me from the start.

My name is Schmid Alain. I am at home in the beautiful Alpine canton of Graubünden, which is located in Switzerland. Flyfishing has been one of my great passions for 20 years and I prefer to fish all types of salmonids. I love to fish with the dry fly, but modern nymph fishing in rivers is also one of my favorites. The lake fishing for trout with different techniques, I have come to appreciate more and more in the last years and it is a great change.The use of self-tied and sometimes self-created flies is a must for me when fly fishing and I love to spend hours at my fly tying table.

My name is Ahmed Rasheed (Addu). I am 31 years old and living in the Maldives. I started fishing with my uncle when I was 8 years old and fort he past 9 years I´m fishing with rod and reel.I started fly fishing in 2019 and since that I have dedicated all my free time for fly fishing. This passion for fly fishing is growing day by day because fly fishing is much more different than any other fishing method. You need to understand the water, fish behavior, it’s diet and many more. Shortly, for me fly fishing includes each and every understanding and skill of fishing.I got a lot of help from my friends and family and especially from Afu (@primeoctopucs) Martin Dvorak, Katka Svagrova and Jan Kubala. They gave me full support in fly fishing. The Maldives has no fishing season so you can practically fish every day but there was limited availability of fly fishing gear and guides. However it all came together in the end when HURCH FLY FISHING heard us and gave us full support.

My name is Afu, I’ve been a sports fisherman for almost 15 years. I developed an interest to fish from an early age from boy scouts to a serious hobby and to a profession over the years. The past two years has been the best days of my fishing life as I discovered fly fishing and learned how to do it.. Today I’m wading the flats, beaches and the surf zone in search of saltwater species. Fish after fish I´m immersing and committing myself to this advance technique of fishing which has already started to change the way I look at fishing. It also helped me to realize many factors that are crucial to the development and sustainability of our waters. I am very fortunate to live and belong to a beautiful country with plenty of fish and opportunities with great ease of access to fishing. But like with everything the dream of fly fishing would not have been possible without the support of many people. I am very grateful and thankful to all of them and for helping me become a better fisherman/guide and human being.
