Every fish you see here was caught by one of my guests. No coincidence, no lucky strike — but the result of a fully guided fishing day, tailored to the conditions of that moment. Whether you are new to predator fishing or have years of experience, I make sure you are on top of the fish and get the most out of your day on the water.
My name is Juul Steyn and since 2011 I have been certified by the Amsterdam Angling Association as an official fishing guide in Amsterdam. I would be happy to take you on an unforgettable fishing trip in my city, where I am on the water almost every day. Here we target zander, perch and pike, both in the city and on open water. I guide, you fish like a pro!
As a fishing guide and resident of Amsterdam, I am on the water almost every day and know exactly where the fish are at any given moment.
Fishing in Amsterdam
Amsterdam, together with the many surrounding waters, is a unique destination for predator fishing, offering surprisingly large numbers and impressive specimen sizes. Whether you are new to predator fishing or looking to refine your skills, you will always step off the boat wiser and with great memories. Sharing my knowledge and passion for predator fishing — first as an editor for Beet and Hét Visblad, later as the author of Thinking Like a Fish, and above all as a fishing guide — has always been my top priority. Tell me your wishes, and I will tailor a perfect fishing day for zander on the IJ and nearby waters, or on the Randmeren where we target the biggest pike in the Netherlands.
De binnenstad van Amsterdam biedt visrijke en beslist unieke visstekken. Wie droomt er niet van op zo’n stek een dikke baars of snoekbaars te vangen?

The strike of such a powerful zander on an ultra-light St. Croix Legend Xtreme rod is an experience you will never forget.
Why fish with guide Juul Steyn?
As a fishing guide, it’s not just about catching fish for me, but about the complete experience. I live on a houseboat and am on the water with my fishing boat almost every day, allowing me to track the fish from day to day. This means we don’t waste time searching for fish. During the fishing trip, I read the conditions and adjust techniques to what is needed at that moment. At the same time, there is plenty of room for explanation, questions and relaxation. No stress, no rush — just quality fishing with the best equipment available.
- Years of experience in predator fishing in and around Amsterdam
- Targeted fishing: no random casting
- Explanation of techniques, tackle and spot selection
- Calm and personal approach
- Full attention for you as an angler
- Only the very best equipment (St. Croix, Shimano, Spro)
- Everything is professionally arranged, from life jackets to insurance
- Companies can rely on a professional approach and clear invoicing.
The large waters around Amsterdam are home to stunning perch, and Juul knows exactly where to find them.
