Traveller & Guide
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. At that exact moment she was sure that fly fishing will be her addiction for a life and also a life journey. 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.
Over the last four years, Katka has travelled extensively around the world bringing her lots of new experiences. She fished waters in over 17 countries including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Guatemala, Mexico, Bolivia... and many more to come in the next few years!
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. In Iceland she is mainly dedicated to European style nymphing for seatrout and salmon and will be organising several events and casting clinics to educate local ladies. She is now part of Patagonia, Costa, Hardy, RIO Products and the Fulling Mill Ambassadors team.
