Bert on the Fly
”We will protect only what we love!”
"Through every cast and every frame, we discover not just the beauty of nature, but our responsibility to protect this planet for generations to come."
Welcome to the world of Bert on the Fly! I’m Roberto Schmidl, a passionate adventurer, nature lover, and visual storyteller always with my camera in hand. Whether I’m wading through crystal-clear rivers or turquoise ocean flats on a fly fishing expedition or just capturing the beauty of nature and the portraits of people I encounter on my journeys, my mission is simple: to connect people with the beauty of our planet and inspire action to protect it. Through my lens, I document the serenity of untouched waters, the vibrant personalities of those I meet, and the pressing realities of pollution impacting our rivers and oceans. With each journey, I try to craft visual stories that celebrate the art of fly fishing, highlight the urgency of conservation, and explore the enduring bond between humanity and nature. Join me as I share these stories, advocate for the preservation of our waters, pass down the timeless legacy of fly fishing and to ensure that environmental stewardship is carried forward for future generations.

About
I have been passionate about fishing and all that lives in and around water, from small streams to big oceans, since childhood. Fly-fishing has become one of my favorite hobbies, as it allows me to be out in nature while also challenging myself mentally and physically with every cast.
At the same time, my interest, and love for photography and travel grew over the years as it allows me to capture and preserve the beauty of this incredible planet. But capturing nature on photos and videos is not enough, I am also very conscious about helping to preserve our environment so that future generations can enjoy it too!
