He founded Aardvark McLeod international flyfishing specialists in 2005. He started as a salmon guide in Norway at 16, but over the last 18 years saltwater fishing has become his prime focus.His fascination with trevally species is bordering on the obsessive and he is constantly scouring the globe for that next mind-blowing hotspot to target these bull dogs of the flats. Peter is a longstanding member of the Hardy Pro Team and was involved in the testing and development of the Proaxis Sintrix rods. He consults for Fulling Mill flies, Rio fly lines, Gillz clothing and has been actively involved in developing a number of new fishing operations around the world. For him, it’s all about the fishing and the pleasure of sharing those experiences with others.

Recensioner i media

This comprehensive and very usable guide contains pretty much all the information an angler intent on catching these most intimidating of fish could want. I cannot recommend this book enough. A note of caution though: GT fishing is profoundly addictive (believe me I know). So if you buy this book, which I highly recommend you do, you are very likely to develop a lifetime habit!
