My name is Peter Scheffler I am 55 years old, born near the river of Ätran in Falkenberg, Sweden, famous for the Atlantic Salmon. I started fishing when I was about 5 years old with my dad on the coastline, there I grew up approx. 300 meters from the sea on the Swedish westcoast! I fished until I was 17 years old, then I was focused on Karate, competing in several competitions, both in Sweden and other countries until 1993. Finished Karate 1998 and at the same period I was practicing lots of other sports, working as a ski instructor and climbing instructor for several years. After health problems and undergoing some tough operations, with complications, I complete my goals for recovery. I decided to begin fly fishing and dressing flies in the autumn of 1999 and have done so ever since. Today that is my main passion in my Life!
Today I live close to the city of Karlstad with my dear family, near the river of Klarälven (Clear river), famous for its land locked salmon and big trout. I do fly fishing as soon I got the chance. In the fly fishing season I visit my hometown of Falkenberg, searching for Salmon/Seatrout, and I also fly fishing for grayling near that area I live today and other places as the northern part of Sweden and in Norway and many other places as well!
I dress flies mainly for salmon and seatrout, aswell for brown trout, rainbow trout, arctic char, grayling and for Nordic pike. I have participated in may fly-fishing fairs since 2010, 5 -7 each year (at most 12 in the year of 2018!) For example British Fly Fair/Staffordshire, The Scottish Fly Fair/Stirling, Irish Fly Fair/Galway, Swedish Angling Show/Stockholm and Jönköping, Danish Fly Fair/Kolding, Swedish Fly Fair/Stockholm, and many, many small fly fishing fairs, game Fairs and other events since 2010!
Last spring I was one of the choosen in the SEMPERFLI PRO-TEAM and AHREX PRO TEAM which I am very proud of! I am looking forward to participate on other International Fly-fishing Fairs in the future if it’s possible, I like the “atmosphere” of the fairs very much, meeting lots of nice people with the same interest and the passion of – FLYFISHING!
I am very Honoured to be invited and looking forward to see you all at the ASFI 2020, Syracuse, NY, USA!
