Klaus Frimor

Since the age of 5, fishing has been dominating his life. Grew up in the western part of Jutland Denmark, where in the beginning smaller lakes and stream were the target for his adventures. Later on Sweden and Norway soon became interesting, and fly-fishing for trout salmon and pike was the main interest. Click on image to read more!


At the age of 19 he volunteered to join the army, with a wish of a Nato airbase in Jutland, since the best seatrout river ran through the air-base. After finishing his service he took the step into the tackle-business working for the largest flyfishing retailer in Denmark until 1998. During the 5 years he was employed in the shop, he created a base for his future career. He met the legendary fly-caster Göran Andersson from Sweden, who took him “under his wings”, and taught him the foundation which would leave him to even larger adventures.

About 11 years ago Klaus had the opportunity to travel to Iceland, a country he immediately fell in love with, and when offered a guide job, it didn't take him long to answer the only logical answer to that question, YES.

As everyone knows, one door often open another, and the following winter he was guiding in South America where he a few years later became the lodge manager and host.

Spending hundreds of days on the river, either fishing or guiding, led to a job developing rods and lines for the tackle-company he had been involved with since his start in the tackle-business.

Demonstrating fly-casting at shows all over the world is today a large part of his life, but also a sought after instructor for casting-clinics and guide services.
   

From sleeping under plastic bags, or when “luxury” accommodation was available, steel plates, on a Norwegian river bank, to exploring rivers and lakes in South America. Klaus was probably the first foreigner to fly-fish Lago Strobel (also known as Jurassic-lake) in Argentina, catching king salmon on a flyrod in Rio Serrano in Chile or Rio Catarina in Argentina, places few people had heard of, even less fished. New targets has shown up in his life, not only does tropical saltwater fishing for Tarpon light a spark in his mind, but the North American Steelhead is the future adventure, both business and recreational wise.

Today invovled in tackle development, specialized in lines and rods, but at the same time busy with casting shows and clinics worldwide.
