Rob Kraaijeveld - Netherlands

Fly fishing for pike can be tough. Although pike are plentiful in the Netherlands, catching one or more of them in a days outing is never a guarantee. Peter has fly fished a lot for Dutch predators with his lifetime friend Rob Kraaijeveld and during their sessions they never blanked in 35 years! That is, on catching at least one predator on fly, not always being a pike. But they've had hot days too catching double figure numbers and meter plus pike. Rob has a huge amount of 'fly' fishing and guiding experience and he has loads of hotspot waypoints. He also has a fabulous Orca boat (90hp) with a great casting dek. So if you are looking for a guide in the Netherlands contact Rob (e-mail: robkraaijeveld1@upcmail.nl). Not only for pike but also for catching perch and pikeperch on the fly.
