Thanks for sharing you experience, since the quest for knowledge in fishing salmon is everlasting. WE NEVER KNOW ENOUGH,! from a Quebecer that fishes the Gaspe salmo rivers.
Then in winter of 1974, I caught my first 20 Lb. Winter Steelhead And I've been catching Steelhead (both Winter/Summer)+Coho/Silver, Chinook/King, Sockeye Salmon) :-0)>.
Great video! And as a Salmon fisherman too I found myself agreeing with a lot of what you said, excellent advice and remarks!! Keep up the good work of C&R and keep posting your videos. Tight lines bro.
In late 1980s I guided a beautiful young lady from Denmark in the Pacific Northwest!! Her dream was to catch a Steelhead in an " unfished" area with no one else present! So I helped her to do this, and she caught both a Summer Steelhead and a King Salmon!!
Mikael I caught my first Sea-Run Brown Trout in 1970. It weighed 18 Kg. in a river that emptied into Caspian Sea (Southern Caspian Sea), Not Russia :-0)> !!
Mikael, I'm pretty sure, I saw a Tag on the anterior side of the Dorsal Fin. Did you tag it before releasing or was it already there? I saw you fishing ASR in Russia, they have some AMAZING Sea-Trout & Atlantic Salmon!!
Looked like the first salmon had no adipose fin - was it hatchery or fish farm in origin? Same for the salmon at 13:25 and 14:56 and perhaps a few of the others.
And finally I Caught The World Record Steelhead (Fly Fishing on my own Fly the "Nomad" !! I could have killed the aforementioned Steelhead, as it was a Hatchery Steelhead!! It fought a Very Long time!!
Nice to hear that you liked it! Here's a link to my website where you can read more about the Samurai Series: frodinflies.com/layout/list.php?p=2&gp=2&level=2&id=38 Cheers!
He plays his fish far to hard and his rod is far to low most of the time during the fight. What you don't see is how many times he gets broken or just tears the flies out of the fishes mouth. And before any body asks, yes I am experienced a ghillie of forty years.
Hi Neil, well I know I play them hard and sure I brake some off but not because I play them too hard! I fish big fish in big rivers. with your rod at 45 degrees angle you can press max aprox 2,5 kilo (if you press very hard) that's simply not enough where I fish. I think more fish are lost because people play them way too soft.. but that's a personal thought. I am quite experienced too.. I have taken several thousand salmon, more than 250 over 30 lbs and 21 over 40... It's OK with different opinions and we will never get a final answer, that's one of the great things with fishing Atlantic salmon on the fly. Cheers! / Mikael
Beautiful river. So gentle to the fish. Thank you!
❤

What where the rivers the fish were taken on...? fly patterns, tackle setup...?
This wason The Bolstad river in Norway
very few men knows what this man knows about salmon fishing he was the man what made flies that came to life once they hit the water
what about the bath
Learned a lot. Don't like how you let the fish sit on the rocks not able to breath for such a long time. Especially have such hard fights.
Please read from the lowest (first) one listed

We tag them.
