Christiaan Pretorius Fly Fishing

I caught my first trout on a fly rod when I was six years old, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. There’s no university degree in fly fishing, so I did what anyone truly passionate about something does—I dedicated my entire life to mastering it.

Over the years, I’ve fished in 39 countries, competed in 8 world championship events, managed lodges, and guided for some of the industry’s best companies. But here’s what really matters: I turned that six-year-old’s passion into a career built on one simple promise—giving you the best possible experience on the water.

Whether I’m hosting you personally or helping you plan your dream trip, you’ll get straight answers backed by current, on-the-ground knowledge. Seasonal changes, specific fly patterns, gear that actually works, local conditions—I handle the details so you can focus on fishing.

I work with trusted partners around the world, and I go the extra distance to make sure you have everything you need to make smart decisions and create memories that last. After all these years, my fire for exploring new waters and learning new techniques burns hotter than ever.
