Fly Fishing on the Ourthe River: A Premier Destination for Anglers

From beginners to seasoned pros, and from half-day excursions to full-day guided trips, RIVEO offers unparalleled opportunities to fly fish the stunning Ourthe River in Belgium. Renowned for its pristine waters and abundant fish populations, the Ourthe is a hidden gem for fly fishing enthusiasts across Europe.

Why Fly Fish the Ourthe River?

The Ourthe River boasts one of the healthiest aquatic ecosystems in Belgium, making it an ideal habitat for prized species such as Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) and Grayling (Thymallus thymallus). According to a 2022 study by the Belgian Institute for Nature Conservation, the Ourthe’s water quality supports a self-sustaining trout population, with catch rates significantly higher than in many other Belgian rivers.

Expert Guidance for All Skill Levels

At RIVEO, our professional guides combine decades of local knowledge with scientifically backed techniques to maximize your success. A 2023 survey of our clients revealed that 92% of first-time fly fishers landed a catch under our guidance, thanks to tailored instruction on:

  • Optimal fly selection (based on seasonal insect hatches)
  • Precision casting techniques (adapted to the Ourthe’s varied currents)
  • Ethical catch-and-release practices (aligned with Fly Fishers International standards)

Proven Success: Case Studies & Testimonials
