I grew up

in Germany, close to the mighty river Rhine. During that time the famous salmon runs were long gone, but it was my home water where I lost my fly fishing virginity.

Usually I spent

a fairly long time during summer holidays with my motorbike and fly rod above the arctic circle in Norway or Sweden. Years went by and then in the 90's I stuffed my backpack, bought an open 6 month fly ticket, and went to South America.
Ever since then I have only gone back to Europe to work in my "real" profession as a specialist in mechanical equipment and service technician, just long enough to get enough money for my next South America trip.

Things changed.

I still brought my backpack to explore the trout waters from Chile's north down to the fireland but now, I rather did it in worn out Chevy's and Econolines…

After living for years in Iceland I finally settled down in Argentine where Carolina, my wife, and I are running Latitud Sur Anglers.

Our philosophy is

organizing the authentic fishing trip, whether it's for Golden Dorado in Argentina's north, or for trout in Patagonia's remote regions.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
