More than one hundred exhibitors from over twenty-five countries will be presenting their latest products, innovations and trends at the 21st Experience the World of Fly Fishing (EWF). Top international fly fishers, over forty talented fly tiers and a varied programme for newcomers, women and children will ensure an inspiring experience on the 18th and 19th of April in Fürstenfeldbruck near Munich.
At the largest fly casting pool outside there will be a continuous single-hand and double-hand fly casting program with well known international fly fishers like Steffen Schulz, Miren Elosegui, Niklaus Bauer, Jan Erik Granbo, Jonas Hölz, Trond Syrstad, Eberhard Scheibe, Thibault Giband, Paddy McDonnell and Ralf Hoppe. At the second pool you can try out new tackle, follow a clinic or learn how to cast your first fly, among others, under the guidance of Tom Brown. This is also were children gather and are taught how to cast a fly. There will be a special program for female fly fishers as well, which is this year for the first time presented by Lucinda Ewin.
Ken Middlemist, the former fly dresser for the Hardy Brothers Company, will return to the EWF to demonstrate his fly tying skills, as will do people like Luka Jezovšek, Steven Shorrock, Christian Kölle, Hans van Klinken (who brings his recently published book along), Igor and Nadica Stancev, Sacha Pütz, Stefan Fendt, Rune Andre Stokkebekk, Arthur Mühling, Karl Flick, Werner Steinsdorfer, Gerd-Peter Wieditz, Jan de Haas, John Schets, Caroline Emmet, Chris Reeves and several Icelandic fly tiers.

There is a full list of presentations on numerous subjects around fly fishing destinations, fly fishing and fly tying equipment, etc. which are given in two separate rooms.
Whether it is top-quality fly fishing equipment, high-quality materials, creative tying techniques or exclusive travel offers to the most beautiful waters in the world – the EWF brings together everything that makes a fly fisherman’s heart beat faster and makes every visit a special event.
