I was born in 1964 in Naumburg an der Saale. From early on I loved to fish and, at that time, with a bobber and lure. My passion for fly fishing came relatively late because this fishing art is not common in our area.
After taking a casting course in 2004, I now exclusively fly fish. I concentrate not just on trout and their relatives, but also on all other fish species. I prefer to fish in salt water, but I certainly don’t neglect fly fishing in rivers and lakes.
Early in 2005, I began to tie my own flies. Inspired by visits to fishing shows, particularly the EWF, well-known fly tyers made me aware of classic salmon flies. The uniqueness of the techniques, materials, and results has led me to specialize completely on tying classic salmon flies.
Even after more than 20 years, my passion remains undiminished. Today I give workshops and individual courses – both in fly tying and fly casting – and I am happy to share my experience and enthusiasm with others. Thank you very much and all my best
