Kawa Avci started fishing at the age of 6–7, joining his father on trips targeting perch, pike, and salmon around the Stockholm area. At 10 years old, after saving his weekly allowance for several weeks, he bought his first fishing rod and never looked back. Although he later spent a few semesters studying medicine, he eventually chose to follow his real passion and dedicate his time fully to fishing. If you ask Kawa, anything less than 150 fishing days per year simply isn’t enough. Today, his main focus is perch, seatrout, pike and zander, always working to refine his methods and learn something new each time he’s out. Kawa has a deep passion for coastal seatrout fishing in the archipelago, as well as trout, char, and grayling fishing in the Scandinavian mountains. No matter the season or the conditions, he is always looking for the next chance to get out on the water, even if it’s just a quick session at the local P&T water. Alongside his fishing, Kawa shares his adventures with a growing and highly engaged audience on social media, inspiring others through his genuine passion for the sport. Since Westin is the brand he uses and trusts the most in his own fishing, being part of the Westin Pro Team feels like a natural step and something he is proud to represent.
