Olli-Mikael Vaittinen

Olli-Mikael Vaittinen has fished his whole life. Fifteen years of fly fishing, guiding seasons on Norway's Lakselva — his favourite Atlantic salmon river — and a blue marlin landed in Vava'u, Tonga. Founder of Fishare — the app that puts the data behind the decisions every angler makes on the water.

About

Lifelong angler. Started with perch on the dock in Finland, moved through brown trout and grayling on the rivers of Lapland, picked up the fly rod in earnest fifteen years ago and never put it down.

Done guiding on Norway's Lakselva — his favourite Atlantic salmon river. Saltwater chops earned across the South Pacific, with Aitutaki standing out. Landed a blue marlin in Vava'u, Tonga.

Lives in Sydney now. Fishes Manly, Sydney Harbour, and the NSW central coast on most weekends. Fishare started as a personal tool — the spreadsheet that became the app that became the fishing-forecast model. The catch log behind every Fishare verdict is built on the same data this byline contributes.
