Jonas Nyqvist
A 48 years old Swede, started fishing when he was 5 and been suffering from
a very bad fishing addiction ever since. He was a member of the Swedish
National Sea Angling Team while he lived in Sweden and fished many of the
best destinations in Northern Europe. He moved to Thailand in 1985, and
bought his first (and the first western owned) Big Game boat in Phuket in
1987 and has since then been involved in fishing around Thailand. In 1997 he
started www.bluewater-anglers.com and put Phuket on the world map of game
fishing destinations. |
He was one of the pioneers to fish the Andaman
Islands. He also arranged the "ABU Garcia Dream Trip" in 2001 to these
islands, and has had articles published in Scandinavian, German and American
fishing magazines. During the last couple of years he has traveled to remote
mountainous areas of Thailand to explore and to develop the fantastic
untapped resource of Mahseer fly fishing, a new fishery for the region that
he believes will be world famous in the future.
Jonas speaks English, German, Scandinavian languages and Thai. Jonas
addiction to all kinds of sport fishing has taken him around the globe in
his quest for hard fighting fish species. After fishing 24 years in Thailand
he calls Thailand his home and favorite fishing place. |
