Set off with Dusk Till Dawn Fishing Experience and discover the magic of fishing in the heart of Friesland.

Your guide, Captain Patrick, is a skilled angler and proud member of the Westin Pro Team, offering years of experience and premium fishing gear to help you chase your trophy catch.
The Frisian Lakes are rich in Zander, Pike, Perch, and Asp, making them ideal for both sport anglers and beginners.
Whether you want to fish calm, shallow lakes or open water with more challenge, this region offers fantastic variety — and breathtaking views along the way.
From peaceful village shorelines to wide, open stretches of water, this is fishing surrounded by pure Dutch nature and culture.

• Westin rods
• Shimano reels including Stella, Twin Power, Vanford, and Tranx
He specializes in casting soft and hard baits, but depending on fish activity, vertical jigging and dropshotting are always great alternatives.
What to bring:
Snacks & drinks
Sunglasses, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate clothing
A valid fishing license (Vispas) – easy to buy online (Patrick can help)
Whether you’re exploring iconic spots like Sneekermeer or venturing onto the vast IJsselmeer, every trip is customized to your goals and experience.
