Atlantic salmon A life on the edge - Now available HD

This was completed in 2003 when only SD video was available. Please accept apologies for this poorer quality. Filmed predominantly on the Fhorsa on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. It follows the journey of the salmon and those who fish for them.

Beautiful work, well done indeed. Sad to see it now. 2 weeks fishing in September just gone and the decline continues.

Hi David,
I wouldn't base too much on this year. Back in the 1990's I estimated a good run would be 700 fish and for sure 2020 had a run similar. Why, I do not k ow? For sure 2021 was an awful salmon run for many Hebridean fisheries, yet 2020 was superb. Covid related? The good news is, parr densities and populations are still as good as decades ago, so it is all to do with ocean feeding in the main. A bit of a worry but on good ocean feeding years the runs are great. th-cam.com/video/mb-776at0-w/w-d-xo.html
