Originally from England Christopher Rownes now lives in Switzerland where he works as a professional fly fisher. He began fly-fishing at the age of eight on the small streams of England and Wales. On these brooks he caught his first wild brown trout and fell in love with their wildness and beauty.

The new website of Christopher Rownes can be found under www.christopherrownes.com, with information on dates of courses, some history, guiding, workshops, adventures, a gallery of pictures and videos. Christopher can also be contacted through the website.

Christopher was privileged to study fly-casting under the guidance of the legendary Mel Krieger. It was Mel who introduced him to fly casting instruction. His philosophy on teaching and fly-casting instruction is without parallel. Mel is his fly-casting mentor, he inspired, formed, tutored and fine-tuned his fly-casting and fly-casting instruction technique.

Later Mel and Christopher gave countless workshops together all over Europe. Christopher is fluent in English, German and Spanish and has over 35 years of experience in fly casting and is a specialist in the underhand and Spey casting techniques with a single-handed rod.
