Fly Fishing on Falkland 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 journalist 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.

In 2000, I accepted an invitation from the Falkland Islands Tourist Board to help introduce the world to the exceptional sport fishing opportunities the Isles have to offer.
Since the publication of my articles, books and videos interest in fishing in the Falkland Islands has grown dramatically, with a significant increase in anglers traveling there to experience it for themselves.
Drawn by the extraordinary abundance of fish and the opportunity to catch truly outstanding specimens, I myself am returning to the Isles every year, spending a month fishing in these remarkable waters.

The entire Falkland Islands are a natural habitat.
The waters are clean and pure.
The trout are strong, healthy, free of parasites, well-nourished and can be found in large numbers.
There is no fish farming – every specimen is a wild genetic offspring.
And as an "encore“ you will get penguins, sea lions, and whales to marvel at.

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

My special focus is dedicated to the Falkland Islands and the Faroe 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 hardly any online information or literature about sport fishing on the Falkland Islands.
Why is that? One can only guess. It’s not that the trip is not worthwhile, quite the opposite.
Maybe the few 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,
