Fly Fisherman & Founder
Singhey Gyamtsho
An article by Jeff Smecker, troutstrike.com best surmises Singheys’ love and passion for fly fishing.
“There are many reasons why I choose to fish. Revealing the mystery of what lies beneath the darkest reaches of the river temporarily satisfies an insatiable curiosity. The process of bringing a fish to my net stimulates the body, the mind, and the soul.
I fish because it is the only time I am enveloped in the present. Thoughts of the past and fears of the future are no match against the intentional focus required to coax a suspicious fish to take my fly.
In that moment, that split second when a fish strikes, the world around me pauses. (Singhey refers to it as ‘Bliss’ and is ever grateful to Jeff for elegantly putting words to feelings)”
Singhey Co-founded a trading company and has been his profession from 2009. With the culmination of his love & passion for fly fishing and the introduction of rules & regulations for “Recreational Fishing” in Bhutan in 2022, a spark was lit.
In 2023, he founded ‘Divine Flyfishing’, a company that offers and specializes in Fly Fishing in Bhutan for the Golden Mahseer, Chocolate Mahseer, Brown Trout and Snow Trout.
​
He is also a member and registered as a Fishing Guide with FLY FISHERS INTERNATIONAL GUIDE ASSOCIATION.
