Favourite species  Perch. It’s possible to fish for them almost the whole year, using light tackle. Excellent sport fish!
Favourite fishing destiny  Fyn, Denmark. Fishing for seatrout at least 3-4 times a year.
Perfect circumstances  An evening without any wind. The light rod attached to the bike and after leaving the office, heading for the local polders for rising rudd.
Unforgettable catch  A nine pound Norwegian River Mandal Salmon! Catched using an aftma 6 rod, a defect reel and two fishing friends. One tying the laces of my wading shoes and one to untangle the flyline for the drag of the reel failed.
The ultimate fly  Modified Sawyer's Pheasenttail

Lives  The Netherlands, Europe.
Leaves the house to fish for  Being alone in nature with or without a flyrod.
Favourite species  Seatrout, because this species lives in regions I even like without a flyrod, the sea or a river!
Favourite fishing destiny  Fyn, Denmark. Fishing for seatrout as often as possible.
Perfect circumstances  A day in january fishing for roach, a cold day in march with an iced flyrod looking for seatrout, a sunday afternoon in may with a palmer fishing for rudd or a summer evening at the danish shoreline fishing for seatrout with a popperfly and a cold beer.
Unforgettable catch  The first seatrout finally caught after many attempts and a lot more then the prescribed 1000 casts!
The ultimate fly   Peter Ross.
