"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".

Andi has been fishing for a variety of fishing techniques for over 20 years, but fly fishing has finally conquered his heart. He prefers to fish with the "dry one" for grayling in the crystal- clear Ybbs in Opponitz.

My name is Ahmed Rasheed (Addu). I am living in the Maldives and 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. 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 visit us and gave us full support.

My name is Afu, I’ve been a sports fisherman for almost 15 years. The past 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.

As a passionate fly fisherman from Germany, I've been captivated by the allure of fishing since childhood. A few years ago, I fully dedicated myself to the fly rod—a passion I love to share with others. My favorite way to fish is stalking grayling with a dry fly, but brown trout, rainbow trout, and barbel are also among my preferred target fish. My fishing adventures usually take me to the rivers in Austria, Slovenia, and Germany, where I relish the tranquility and challenge of this unique style of fishing.
