Go out on a fishing adventure with Kayakfisher and see the best of river and lake fishing in the Netherlands! Team up with Captain Frans Boonstra and let him take you to one of the numerous bodies of water in the heart of the country, that are as productive as they're beautiful.

Not only do you get a chance to fish in a new, exotic location, but you'll do it out of a paddle kayak, which opens new fishing horizons. Your guide has 3 Hobie kayaks and can take up to 3 people out. You will be paddling surrounded by beautiful scenery until you get to the best spot, and then it's your time to shine.

You will be going after all the local favorites, including Northern Pike, European Perch, and Zander. Capt. Frans is a Zander expert and he'll know exactly what to do to put you on that bite. Trolling, spinning, and casting are the name of the game, depending on what you'd like to catch.
The use of live bait is not allowed in the Netherlands, so you'll mostly be using an array of lures.

Another perk of fishing with Frans is that you don't have to worry about bringing your gear, he will provide quality rods, reels, and all the necessary tackle. Bear in mind that everything you catch, you should release, but you can snap a couple of good photos of your catch beforehand.

On your side, you should buy a fishing license, and pack drinks and food for the trip. It's also recommended to come in boots and warm clothing. If you're coming with children, they should be 10 and older – Capt. Frans will have life jackets for the whole family.

Try something different and fun and go fishing with Kayakfisher – chances are you'll be hooked!

    Frans provided an excellent experience and clear communication despite a last minute booking. He instructs well but is not overbearing. Highly recommend.

    Frans is a very cool local Dutch guide !

    Full Day Trip – Kayak Fishing on September 14, 2025 • 2 adults

    Thanks a lot to Frans, we got really nice local experience and explanation on ways of fishing in the area around. We saw some nice Dutch channels we always wanted to see from the water level, and kayak experience is perfect for that. Despite the weather changes there was some nice perch and pike action, fishing in NL is great afer all.

    Half day trip

    Zander workshop on March 19, 2023 • 1 adult

    I recently had the pleasure of going on a northern pike fishing trip in Holland and it was an amazing experience! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire trip. Not only was he able to point us towards the best fishing spots, but he was also able to teach us a lot about the history and culture of the area. One thing that really stood out to me was how well the guide spoke English. As an American tourist in a foreign country, it can sometimes be difficult to communicate effectively with locals. However, the guide spoke perfect English and was able to answer all of our questions and give us great recommendations for things to do in the area.The fishing itself was incredible. We were able to catch a lot of northern pike, which was really exciting. Overall, I would highly recommend Fran’s fishing trip to anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to experience some of the amazing fishing opportunities that Holland has to offer. And if you're worried about language barriers, don't be - the guide spoke amazing English and was very easy to communicate with.

    Best Fishing Day ever!

    Full Day Trip – Kayak Fishing on June 17, 2023 • 3 adults

    It was an incredible day. We got a 1,10 Meter „Hecht“ and 3 big Zander! A Dream for every Fisher. It was real fun for my son and also for me, although I am no Hard Core Fisher. Frans was a Perfect Guide: he prepared everything we Needed, gave us the relevant hints and showed us the good Spots while giving us time to do our own experience. The Kayaks were great and I enjoyed this Trip Not only due to the extrordinary catches but also because of the peacefull and contemplating Trip into nature. Frans, I am only sorry you lost your mobile while doing the Video for us!!!

    Ein super Erlebnis

    Full Day Trip – Kayak Fishing on June 3, 2023 • 2 adults

    Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Tag. Die Beratung vor dem Trip durch Frans war echt gut. Trotzdem waren wir aufgeregt, weil es unser erstes Mal auf dem Kayak war. Aber es war wirklich so einfach, wie Frans gesagt hat. Das Wetter hat gepasst. Frans hat alles toll erklärt und war immer zur Stelle, wenn man ihn gebraucht hat. Auf dem Wasser zu sein war etwas ganz anderes, als vom Ufer aus zu angeln. So konnten wir ganz neue Erfahrungen sammeln. Fische haben wir auch gefangen, also alles in allem ein sehr gelungener Tag ☺️ Wir kommen gerne wieder. ??

    Had a fantastic day fishing for pike and perch with Frans. Frans is very knowledgeable about the water and the different fish. The river is also beautiful to float down on the kayak while we fished. Thank you again!

    Amazing on-shore rod fishing trip

    Halve day trip - Boatfishing on April 1, 2025 • 2 adults

    As we were beginners, we opted for shore rod fishing in a river near Bunnik. Frans was amazing in teaching us basic techniques and guiding us to good spots. Caught and released good-sized nothern pikes. Highly recommended activity for a beginner couple if you are around!
