![]() |
"Cast off and take to the water" Werner Becker (consultant of fly-fishing) and his friends from the Bous Fly-fishing group chose for the event Flyfishing-Startup 2013 which will be taking place on: Sunday March 10th, 2013 yacht marina in Merzig on the Saar |
Fly-fishing Startup: since its launch in 2006, fly-fishing startup has evolved from an insider tip to a cultural event. Past highpoints were Rheinfelden (Baden), Freiburg im Breisgau, and of course the unforgettable event in Wolfwil (Solothurn Canton) in Switzerland in March 2012.
Inspired and motivated by previous startups, Werner Becker and friends have brought this event to the Saarland. They have chosen a unique venue and have put a fantastic program together. Under the patronage of the Fishing Association of Saarland, the yacht marina in Merzig on the Saar, with its meadow landscapes and access to the banks of the Saar, will become the meeting point for all fly-fishing enthusiasts.
