Fly Fishing on the Faroe Islands

"All good things are wild and free."
Henry David Thoreau

Fly fishing is much more than a method of angling to me – it is a lifelong passion, a way of life, and the guiding thread of my work as a writer and publicist for many years.

As one of Germany's best-known female fly fishers, I have dedicated decades to exploring, documenting, and sharing the art of fly fishing.
Through numerous publications, features, and international collaborations, I have become one of the pioneers of respectful and sustainable angling tourism. Today, I work with media professionals, tourism boards, and fellow anglers around the world as a trusted expert on some of the most remarkable fly-fishing destinations on earth.

This website offers a glimpse into my life, my work, and my publications.

My special focus is dedicated to the Faroe Islands and the Falkland Islands. The untouched landscapes of the Falklands and their exceptional fisheries continue to fascinate me, while the Faroe Islands have been my second home for more than twenty-five years – a place where wild nature, rich traditions, and unforgettable fishing experiences come together.

Thoreau's words, "All good things are wild and free," have long reflected my own philosophy. They remind us that the greatest treasures are found not only in remarkable fish and beautiful rivers, but in the freedom, solitude, and deep respect for the natural world that fly fishing teaches us.

I invite you to explore my world of fly fishing and hope that these pages inspire your own adventures—wherever wild waters may lead you.

To date, there is not much online information or literature to find about sport fishing on the Faroe Islands.
Why is that? One can only guess. It’s not that the trip is not worthwhile, quite the opposite.
Maybe the travelers during the last years have not been publicists. Or maybe they were, but wanted to keep the islands to themselves as an „insider tip“.
As for me: I am a publicist, I am a fisherwoman – and I love to share.

Tight Lines,
