I was “infected “by fishing as a couple- year boy. At the beginning I use float, after that I started using spinning method. I started from catching perches, then other fishes like pikes, sanders, chubs, brown trouts. I am very keen on sport so I started to participate in fishing competitions. I was lucky, because in my district were few competitors, who also were members of national team. I don’t have to explain how significant knowledge it is.

I have been wrapped up in fishing since I was a child. As far as I remember, in fact. I was born in the Masuria region where my family has been living for many generations. My Dad ‘infected’ me with the love for fishing. He was the one who taught me catch my first fish, and later on the first predatory fish. I was taught the knowledge conveyed through generations.
My main fishing experiences were made in the lakes in the Masuria region. My favorite waters, the ones I visit most often to fish, are the Ros and the Sniardwy lakes. These are the lakes were I fish most and hit my new all-time records. I’m fond of asp fishing and I keep pursuing big, over 1-meter-long pike which is called ‘bar-pike’ by the people from the Masuria. I love the spinning and I keep learning and discovering the opportunities the trolling gives.
I continue the fishing tradition which I try to implement in contemporary times.
. I started my fishing adventure with preying fish in 1988. At first, I angled with different techniques but now I catch fish with artificial bait only. I caught my first big sander in 1993 in the Avon river.
Now, I specialize in fishing this prey fish. I have been a fishing guide for several years. Being a guide, I’ve had the chance to take numerous anglers to the trips of their lives to look for sander and pike.
I fish regularly on the Severn and Avon rivers and I know them by heart. During our joint trips, the anglers may use their own baits or models which proved good as well as ones borrowed from me. I always make my best to make the trips with me successful and unforgettable.
I invite all anglers, no matter what their experience and fishing knowledge, total green horns and professionals. In my fisheries, we mainly use spinning or trolling. Moreover, I take vertical sets to catch sander. Depending on the prey fish, I use different types of artificial baits.
Be my guest at our common fishing!

I have been fishing for over 20 years. I started with a bob like the majority of anglers. I quickly got interested in catching preying fish with artificial bait. I’ve been spinning for 16 years, and I’ve been fly fishing for 12 years. The main goal of my fishing trips, both with the spinning and with the fly, is the salmon family. In summer, I love to flounder in lowland rivers to look for the barbell, the chub or the catfish. My favorite fisheries are reefs, a substitute for fishing in the mountain rivers.
