Meet Reece – The Heart Behind The Carpy Vikings
Fishing pulled me out of a dark place.
At a time when my life was falling apart, I didn’t see a way forward.
But the moment I picked up that rod again and sat by the water, something shifted.
The stillness, the sounds, the focus — it gave me space to breathe and think clearly.
Fishing became my escape, then my therapy, and eventually my purpose.
Now I help others find that same peace — not just through catching fish, but through reconnecting with themselves.

My Journey
I’ve been through some dark times — addiction, anxiety, and moments where I felt completely lost.
Life moved too fast, and I couldn’t seem to catch my breath.
But when I found myself by the water again, everything slowed down.
Fishing gave me space to think, to breathe, and to rebuild piece by piece.
It became more than a hobby — it became my therapy, my focus, and my way back to myself.
Through those quiet moments on the bank, I found peace, purpose, and the strength to move forward.
That’s why I started The Carpy Vikings — to share that same healing and sense of belonging with others who need it most.
What I Do
I now use fishing to help others find the same peace and purpose it gave me.
Whether you’re completely new to angling, getting back into it, or just looking for a few quiet hours to reset, my coaching is built around you.
Every session is personal — focused on where you’re at and what you need, with patience, honesty, and zero judgement.
We work on both the practical and the mindset side of fishing — learning skills that build confidence on the bank and calm off it.
It’s not about chasing trophies; it’s about progress, connection, and finding yourself again through fishing.

“Fishing isn’t about the catch – it’s about finding peace”
My mission is simple — to help others find the same hope and peace that fishing gave me.
When life feels heavy, the water has a way of quieting the noise.
Through The Carpy Vikings, I want to show people that there’s always a way forward — sometimes it just starts with a rod, a lake, and a bit of time to breathe.
My Approach
Every person who comes to The Carpy Vikings is on their own journey — and my coaching is built around that.
I don’t believe in pressure or perfection; I believe in patience, learning, and genuine connection.
🧘 Calm Coaching
Every session is relaxed, supportive, and focused on helping you feel comfortable on the bank — whether it’s your first cast or your hundredth.
🎣 Skill & Mindset
We work on both — the fishing techniques that build confidence, and the mental tools that help you find calm beyond the water.

The Carpy Vikings is about more than fishing. It’s about friendship, belonging, and knowing you’re not alone on your journey.
