Fishing the World

About the Book

Since first visiting Greenland in 1974 Steen Ulnits has actively sought and added to his list a large number of great game fishes. In his book "Fishing the World - catching them all" he presents a number of fish species that made a lasting impression on him - as a fisheries biologist as well as an eager angler. Read about some of the most sought after game fish species living in exotic surroundings and learn what gave them their current fame. Read about a larger number of lesser known species that also made the Top 50 list of fish worth travelling across the globe to meet and catch in their natural environment. Some of these species have been hard to catch or hard to reach. But they have all been interesting and well worth the effort. Still Steen Ulnits has a number of species on his list that need to meet his flies and lures and have their picture taken! Join Steen Ulnits on an exciting and inspiring trip around the world, fishing rod in hand!

About the Author

Steen Ulnits is fisheries biologist born 1956 and raised in Denmark. When telling his parents that he would quit school, they set up a terrible trap for him: If he made it through college, a fishing trip to Greenland would be waiting for him! He made it through some terrible years before finally graduating, spurred only by the thought of Greenland. When back home again, the whole wide world was waiting to be explored, fishing rod in hand. So many exciting fish species to be caught, so little time... Today Steen Ulnits has travelled and worked the world, as a fisheries biologist, angling guide, outdoor journalist and wildlife photographer. During the last 35 years he has visited more than 65 countries and caught more fish species than he can keep track of.
