Other Information
I started fishing at the tender age of five, with my father and various family members. Fishing has since grown into a love affair and it is my passion. I ventured into the art of flyfishing when I was twelve years old when I received my first set-up as a Christmas gift from my parents. Fly fishing and fishing in general has been my number one passion ever since.
Being brought up in the Eastern Cape, South Africa has allowed me to test my hand at a variety of fishing styles, namely flyfishing, rock and surf, estuary, dam, deep sea, inshore as well as kayak fishing. I am a big ocean lover and conservation enthusiast. The still waters in the Eastern cape are renowned for big rainbow trout and it was a mission of mine to get a trophy - which I have done so a few times.
I have fished for the elusive skipjack, and other gamefish in the Eastern Cape estuaries, since I was fourteen so I have knowledge of the species and the best time and place in which to target these fish.
I did my guide training with Arno Matthee, the legend, in Gabon and I then went on to work for Alphonse Fly Fishing Company where I guided on Alphonse, St Francios, Poivre and St Josephs. I enjoy all flats species, from walking the coral fingers for triggers to walking/poling the surf for the gangsters of the flats, the GT. I have a category B skippers license, a STCW certificate and before I started guiding I studied Civil Engineering, where I worked in consulting and construction.
