Hooked on Fly Fishing
The Netherlands

My name is Hans Bock, and I’ve been passionate about fly fishing for over 40 years. Through HOFF, I offer fly-tying courses, casting workshops, guided fly-fishing trips, and expert instruction. During the summer, I serve as head guide for SouthGreenlandFlyFishing in Iceland and Greenland.

Hooked on Fly Fishing

I’ve fly-fished across the globe, including in Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, British Columbia, the Bahamas, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, England, Austria, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, and Greenland.

My credentials include:

  • Publishing 100+ articles in fishing magazines.
  • Completing the Dutch Fly Fishing Association’s casting instructor training.
  • Representing the Netherlands at the 2008 World Fly Fishing Championships in New Zealand.

Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced angler, I’ll help you master new techniques or guide you on unforgettable fly-fishing adventures in pristine nature. My goal? To make your experience as fun and rewarding as possible!

    • Removed redundant phrases like "in addition" and "during the entire summer."
