Flytastic: Where Passion Meets Profession
A Lifelong Love for Fishing
From an early age, I was captivated by fishing—mastering complex knots blindfolded and trying fly fishing by 14. Though I pursued a culinary apprenticeship in Appenzell and later worked as a bartender, my passion for angling never faded. These experiences not only honed my skills but also sparked a deeper personal journey.
The Crossroads: Discovering My Path
In 2015, armed with a vocational high school diploma and culinary training, I embarked on hotel management studies. A pivotal moment came in 2017 during a summer internship in Canada, where I served as a Lodge Assistant Manager at a fishing lodge. Immersed in the world of professional angling, my love for the sport deepened. Yet, upon returning to Switzerland, I found myself questioning my career direction, uncertain if traditional studies aligned with my true calling.
Embracing the Wild: A Turning Point
The spring of 2020 brought both the completion of my studies and the COVID-19 lockdown—an unexpected opportunity to fully immerse myself in fly fishing. I realized my desire wasn’t just to fish but to share my knowledge and passion with others. Combining my culinary flair with my angling expertise, I envisioned creating unforgettable outdoor experiences. This inspired the birth of FLYTASTIC, a platform where I began documenting my adventures and insights.
From Passion to Profession
By summer 2021, I took the leap and made FLYTASTIC my profession. Through workshops, I now guide enthusiasts in fly fishing techniques, water ecology, and respect for nature. Whether teaching beginners or refining the skills of seasoned anglers, my goal is to inspire joy and connection with the sport.
