We are a small group of hydro-biologists with decades of experience in freshwater ecosystems, fisheries management and fish ecology. Our experience helps us to develop management techniques, but we realize that the dynamics of river ecosystems place us in a perpetual learning situation in which we are always students of the ecosystem. We come from an array of employment backgrounds which include the public, private, and research sectors.

Prior to 2006, our relationship with these waterways now under our care was solely an advisory role. During this time we developed independent ideas regarding fishery management. In 2006 the opportunity to apply these ideas presented itself as the formal lease of two waterways was transferred to 'Die Bewirtschafter'. This means we now have the opportunity to implement the ideas of fishery management learned during the advisory phase. Since 2017 we are happy to have a third river section under our management
