PAULO HOFFMANN

Like a virus its been spreading inside his body, greedy to be fed a dose of fish. The chemical reaction triggered by the simple process of getting a flyrod handed and cast it for the first time.
Fascinated as well as ambitious he kept practicing the art of flyfishing and -casting. With the time that Paulo spent outside exploring rivers, creeks, tiny brooks, lakes, etc. his hobby developed to a passion, almost to an addiction urging him to be outside 24/7.

Starting when he was 13 years old, Paulo randomly met Stephan Dombaj in search of flyfishing experience, an encounter putting an enormous influence on his development as a flyfisher as well as his understanding of nature that gave new distinction to his life. Over the year, Stephan and Paulo took uncountable trips to the most unimaginable places and corners of mostly Central European destinations using techniques that redefined modern flyfishing in different perspectives.

"Its really not about how many fish you catch, its about how you catch it and how you feel about it afterwards, about the memories you gather on the way" - one thing Paulo definitely experienced by also growing as an individual. Always equipped with a camera, he also follows the strict code of catch and release capturing countless memories and stories that don't cause a game over for the aqua system.

Considering what has been and knowing what can be Paulo is always willing to go over borders and boundaries and bring flyfishing to a new level trying to be an input on modern flyfishing and -casting.
