About the fisherman and lake Sils
Fishing on Lake Sils
For many, Lake Sils is a natural wonder. For Christian Haffter, it is also a fisherman's paradise. The fisherman and chronicler of Lake Sils has been throwing out his bait since childhood. He combines passion and contemplation on the water.
Every day is different, every day is unique
When Christian Haffter climbs into his wooden boat and slowly rows out of the bay on the still mirror-like surface of the water in the early morning light, his memories go with him: «As a young boy I wanted to be a professional fisherman on Lake Sils. I received my first fishing rod as a gift when I was eleven years old. It was a simple bamboo rod with no reel, just like the local fishermen's rods at the time.»
