About us

Our story

This is how it all started. With Norwegian, award winning fisherman Asgeir Alvestad, who
spent more than 20.000 hours with a rod in his hand before the age of twenty.

His expertise and knowledge inspired us to make fishing easier.
We began by picking the brains of the best. Making it into an intuitive and helpful app, a fishing guide fitting into your pocket, to bring to your next fishing adventure.

We launched under the name of Fiskher in Norway in 2020, Denmark and Sweden (2021) and Germany
(2022).

The app rapidly became a success and was quickly toplisted in AppStore and Google play.

Just after a few months, it had already been downloaded 100.000 times. With the organic expansion to new countries, we now have more than half a million active users. Fishbuddy by Fiskher is the most complete fishing guide on the market.

Together with the best anglers in each country we provide you with fishing spots, combining their knowledge with machine learning and satellite data. So far we have pointed out 100.000+ fishing areas for more than 25 species in Scandinavia and Germany, and we are continuously
releasing in new countries.

Our vision

Fishbuddy by Fiskher aims to be both the natural choice for worldwide recreational fishing,
and the preferred source of information on fish life for sustainable governance. Simply by taking a photo of their catch, our users contribute to collecting data important to the authorities for sustainable control and development of marine life along the coast lines.


We use Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence to monitor catches, and to report large amounts of data from wherever the app is being used. This big data can be used to track and sustainably govern the fish species, and provide a crucial role in the protection of the life below sea.
