Kayakfisher
Go out on a fishing adventure with Kayakfisher and see the best of river and lake fishing in the Netherlands! Team up with Captain Frans Boonstra and let him take you to one of the numerous bodies of water in the heart of the country, that are as productive as they're beautiful.
Not only do you get a chance to fish in a new, exotic location, but you'll do it out of a paddle kayak, which opens new fishing horizons. Your guide has 3 Hobie kayaks and can take up to 3 people out. You will be paddling surrounded by beautiful scenery until you get to the best spot, and then it's your time to shine.
You will be going after all the local favorites, including Northern Pike, European Perch, and Zander. Capt. Frans is a Zander expert and he'll know exactly what to do to put you on that bite. Trolling, spinning, and casting are the name of the game, depending on what you'd like to catch.
The use of live bait is not allowed in the Netherlands, so you'll mostly be using an array of lures.
Another perk of fishing with Frans is that you don't have to worry about bringing your gear, he will provide quality rods, reels, and all the necessary tackle. Bear in mind that everything you catch, you should release, but you can snap a couple of good photos of your catch beforehand.
On your side, you should buy a fishing license, and pack drinks and food for the trip. It's also recommended to come in boots and warm clothing. If you're coming with children, they should be 10 and older – Capt. Frans will have life jackets for the whole family.
Try something different and fun and go fishing with Kayakfisher – chances are you'll be hooked!

Thanks a lot to Frans, we got really nice local experience and explanation on ways of fishing in the area around. We saw some nice Dutch channels we always wanted to see from the water level, and kayak experience is perfect for that. Despite the weather changes there was some nice perch and pike action, fishing in NL is great afer all.
Thanks for your lovely review. I am glad you liked the tour and my explanations about fishing in Holland. It was a pleasure to have you on board and sharing our experiences and I hope it will lead to catch a lot of big pikes.
Thanks for your recommending Zyiad.
had an amazing morning kayak fishing, really great tackle and kayaks. I learned lots of new methods of lure fishing from frans, he is very knowledgeable and a great angler! i will definitely start doing more pike fishing now!
Thanks Henry for your great review. I'm glad you enjoyed it and are continuing to improve your pike fishing skills, even though the fish weren't very cooperative today.
Danke Roman, es war gemütlich mit Ihr dieses Ausflug zu machen.
My girlfriend bought me this trip for my birthday as she knew I want to kayak fish and I loved it. Next time on the sea 👍 Frans was a great guide!
Thanks for your nice review. I gave my best but the fish did not cooperate very well. It was a pleasure to meet you and I am happy you love kayak fishing now as I do. Maybe we will have another trip on the see.

Your captain
I've been fishing all my life, and in 2018, I decided to dedicate my career to doing what I love. I'm addicted to catching predatory fish, especially Zander. I enjoy teaching people how to fish, sharing passion and knowledge with my clients, and showing them a good time in beautiful nature. I love being outdoors, catching fish, and I love even more sharing that experience with other avid anglers.
