Fly fishing in Norway’s wild saltwater landscapes presents the ultimate challenge: targeting elusive halibut on the fly.

Channel: Vision Fly Fishing

Video Summary
This captivating fly fishing adventure unfolds in Norway’s stunning wilderness, home to some of Europe’s most exhilarating fishing opportunities. The goal? Landing halibut—a formidable and highly prized catch in these cold waters. Set against a breathtaking backdrop described as the "top of the world," the expedition offers a unique thrill.

The journey leads to a remote island with over a thousand trout lakes, but the anglers’ focus is solely on halibut. The challenge? Catching these massive fish with a fly rod—a feat never before attempted. Anticipation builds as they prepare for this unprecedented pursuit, aiming to hook the largest halibut possible.

Guided by Daniel, a halibut expert unfamiliar with fly fishing, the team navigates uncharted territory. Together, they refine tactics—adjusting boat drift, depth, and technique—highlighting the skill and adaptability required.

Throughout the video, the anglers experiment with strategies, adapting to halibut behavior and shifting conditions. They explore diverse areas of the island, each presenting new challenges and opportunities. The footage captures thrilling moments: close encounters, heart-pounding strikes, and the bittersweet sting of missed chances.

Fishing Breaks offers angling on England’s most exclusive and prestigious chalkstreams. Founded over 30 years ago by Simon Cooper, the company embodies his passion for fly-fishing and dedication to these world-renowned rivers.

The British Isles are home to over 85% of the world’s chalkstreams—ecologically unique and biodiverse river systems. Raised in Hampshire, Simon grew up surrounded by exceptional fly-fishing opportunities but recognized their limited accessibility beyond a select few. Armed with just a telephone and a network of contacts, he set out to change this.

Saw Mill Fly Casting

After two decades as a police officer, Jay Engel turned his lifelong passion for fly fishing into an opportunity to share the experience with others. An avid angler since childhood, Jay recently embraced fly casting—a technique that uses the weight of the fly line to cast over varying distances. Drawing parallels to his rowing background, he compares fly casting’s skill and technique to using a rowing machine, emphasizing it as a distinct sport within fly fishing.

In his pursuit of mastery, Jay completed the prestigious L.L.Bean Fly Fishers International Casting Instructor Preparation Course in May 2019 under renowned caster Macauley Lord. He is now working toward earning his Casting Instructor (CI) certification from Fly Fishers International.

In November 2019, Jay launched Saw Mill Fly Cast to introduce beginners to the sport. He sees fly casting as a lifelong activity and believes that with a few lessons, enthusiasts can apply their skills in waters worldwide. Deeply committed to inclusivity, Jay is passionate about supporting individuals with disabilities, first responders, and veterans coping with PTSD—drawing from his personal experiences and the therapeutic benefits of fishing.

Flytastic – Switzerland

From an early age, I was drawn to fishing—tying complex knots blindfolded and trying fly fishing by age 14. Despite balancing secondary school and a culinary apprenticeship in Appenzell, my passion for fishing never faded. After my career as a chef, I discovered joy in bartending and connecting with people. This period also marked the start of a profound personal journey.

The Crossroads of Passion and Profession
In 2015, armed with a vocational high school diploma and culinary training, I pursued hotel management studies. A transformative 2017 summer internship in Canada as a "Lodge Assistant Manager" at a fishing lodge deepened my love for fishing. Returning to Switzerland, I grappled with my future career path, growing increasingly uncertain about my studies.

Embracing the Call of the Wild
Completing my studies in spring 2020—coinciding with the COVID-19 lockdown—gave me time to fully immerse myself in fly fishing. I realized I wanted not just to fish but to share my knowledge and passion. Inspired, I began guiding others into nature, combining my cooking skills with unforgettable experiences. This led to the launch of FLYTASTIC, a free website where I shared my insights.

Turning Passion into Profession
By summer 2021, I embraced fly fishing as my profession. Through workshops, I now teach fly fishing techniques, water ecology, and respect for nature, aiming to inspire fellow anglers. It’s time to do what I love: fly fishing.
