Michael Mauri's Bio
The fish management technician caught his first fish at age six in a small stream in Bavaria. In 1983 - at age 12 - he decided to devote himself entirely to the royal discipline. Since that time, he has been fishing exclusively with flies. His early, influential sources of inspiration were, for example, Sepp Prager at a show in 1985 and later on Lefty Kreh and Steve Rajeff. Starting in 1998, Michael Mauri has been participating in international shows and conducting single and double-hand workshops all over the globe. As a professional fly-fisher he also guides all over Europe, from Italy up to Norway and Greenland. Motion sequences acquired from many years of martial arts training as well as his great desire to experience something new allowed him to create his own unique casting techniques: the EFCT (Effective Fly Casting Technique). The secret of his style is the natural movement, which makes it easy to learn - for everybody! In search of new challenges, he continuously hones his own skills while - at the same time - coming up with new ideas to improve equipment. But if he's outside on the water and becomes one with nature, he is that six-year-old boy again.
