"Culinary Fishing"

In our "Culinary Fishing Camps," we specialize in active fishing with fly or spinner. Roland's credo: To catch a fish, you return to the rhythm of nature. Fly fishing, in particular, is undeniably an art, inextricably linked to emotion and passion. It's about learning and understanding the laws of nature. Complete relaxation and immersion in the primal world awaken the hunting instinct.

fly fishing

Rivers have always magically captivated people with their timeless beauty. Flowing water, whether a powerful but monotonous rush or a joyfully playful ripple, has the fascinating power to calm the human soul and let the mind wander. For fly fishermen, however, rivers are even more than a source of peace and refuge merely observed from the outside. The fly fisherman becomes part of the river and enters directly into a complex world subject to the fundamental law of flow" (Alexander Keus)
