A Passion from an Early Age
Since I was a child, fly fishing has become more than just a hobby — it’s a true passion, bordering on addiction!
While other kids my age were playing soccer or video games, I was out learning the art of fly fishing, discovering the patience, precision and connection with nature that it brings.
From the age of 10, I dedicated most of my free time to mastering this technique, striving to understand all its subtleties and secrets.
By the time I was 14, I had already started traveling across Switzerland, France and Italy, eager to learn more and to explore the fascinating world of sight nymphing.

My Fly Fishing Adventures
Like any passionate fly fisherman, I’ve spent years exploring the world’s best fly fishing destinations.
Since the age of 18, I’ve never stopped traveling in search of new waters and experiences — from the Balkans, where I pursued marmoratas and other large salmonids, to Iceland, in search of giant trout and Arctic char.
My absolute favorite remains New Zealand. I’ve traveled there several times to hunt trophy brown trout on the South Island. The scenery, rivers, and remarkable fish make it a destination I’ll keep returning to for as long as I can!
I’ve also ventured into saltwater fly fishing, from the Maldives to Sudan and the Seychelles. Each journey brings what I love most: discovery, research, sharing, and the thrill of encountering new species.
In 2019, together with friends, I traveled deep into the Amazon rainforest of Brazil in search of Peacock bass. The experience was unforgettable, and I’m eager to return soon — this time to chase other legendary species such as the Dorado, Arapaima, and Payara.
My Video Productions
During my first trip to New Zealand in 2013, I brought along a reflex camera to capture some memories of the experience. I began filming a few fly fishing sequences — the result wasn’t amazing, but it sparked in me a deep interest in filmmaking and a desire to take it further.
A year later, I returned to Iceland, better equipped and more experienced, determined to create a film about the giant trout that inhabit its wild waters. After spending countless hours on editing, I submitted my short film to the RISE Fly Fishing Film Festival. To my great surprise, it was selected and screened in theaters across France, Switzerland, and Belgium.
That first short film taught me the fundamentals of video production and helped me identify the areas I needed to improve.
In early 2020, together with my friend Jean-Michel Brunet, a French fly fishing guide, we founded Theflyfishingspirit Media. Our goal is to travel the world and share the beauty of fly fishing through our films and stories with thousands of enthusiasts. Today, we are fully equipped with professional gear — drones, waterproof housings, stabilizers, and more — to produce high-quality content.
We have many exciting projects ahead and will continue to create videos around the world to share our passion for fly fishing and the wild places it leads us to.
My Desire to Share
Deeply involved in several fishing associations and regularly participating in fly fishing events, I wanted to take things a step further — and that’s how Swiss Fly Fishing Guiding Company was born.
My goal is simple: to share my passion and pass on my knowledge to anyone eager to discover this incredible world.
Whether through introductory days, advanced training sessions, or guided fishing trips abroad, I’m here to guide, support, and accompany you — always in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
