Steffen started to travel in the former Soviet Union in the early nineties, fishing remote areas like the Kamatcka Peninsula in the Russian Far East. Steffen belong to the “First generation” of foreign anglers who came to Kola Peninsula in the early 90’s, where he was building up and managing, some of the world’s finest salmon operations on rivers like Umba, Varzuga, Kharlovka, Rynda, Yokanga and Ponoi.

Besides Russia, Steffen has put thousands of miles behind him, pursuing Steelhead, Atlantic Salmon, Chinook and other yummy anadromous fish worldwide.
After working for several of the biggest tour operators and tackle companies for many years, Steffen decided to separate and go solo with his Salmon Junkies company in 2008 in order to redefine Salmon fishing and the changing demands for good affordable salmon fishing. Main task – to make Salmon and Sea Trout fishing accessible to as many or to put it another way “Best bang for the Buck”
Another key issue for Steffen has always been a strong and friendly relationship to his many guests staying and passing through his fishing camps.

Steffen lives in Denmark, when he is not in the bush somewhere swinging his Spey rod – A true Salmon Junky with a lifelong addiction!
