Katka was born and raised in Czech Republic fishing her local rivers, streams and lakes. She started to fly fish seriously from the early age of 4 when she got the passion for this sport from her dad.

After 6 years of competing she became a 5x Womens Czech Republic Champion, In 2018 she was part of Ladies National team on European championship, where they ended up an incredible 4th place between 17 teams from all Europe, and for sure, they won ladies category.

After she followed up with her Masters degree on Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of waters, she became a professional fly fishing guide on one of the best salmon river on Iceland – Laxa í Kjos - under Hreggnasi Angling Club.
