I wish someone had shared this knowledge with me forty years ago when I started Atlantic salmon fishing here in eastern Canada. I've been casting blindly in the "classic style" without understanding what I was trying to make the fly accomplish or how to do it. Thank you for the knowledge and the entertainment! Oh, and my one day fly fishing experience in Iceland was like the one you showed - cold, with lots of rain and wind and no takers!
@@WideOpenOutdoorFilm Wow, you did a great job capturing the story and showing how it's done. I remember watching these two films on fishing tv years a go, a real favourite of mine. Do you have any intention to do more in the future?
I have it on DVD, one of the best films on salmon fishing with fly gear. fly fishing for salmon still a magic for me as i do not live in salmon country. I learned from instructional films. Thanks for uploading on YT, modern computers dont have DVD drive
Thank you so much for this very interesting insight to islandic Salmon flyfishing. One question I have. Can you explain for what reason you grab the flyline with your forehand with a finger almost all times, holding the line near the blank, nevermind if you are stripping to speed-up the fly (one reason), but also when you fishing and not stripping line or even when fighting the fish?

Very nice video. The only thing I dont like is when you hold the fish out of the water under the heart for the camera - better to keep it in the water - that way it has a much better chance of recovery. Its a bit like holding someone's head under water when they've just run a marathon.
Give the fish the fly again straight away and it wont take it. That's not true here in Norway just put a similar ish flie on but a smaller size and it will tske it instantly in 90% of the attempts if its a holding fish.

Great film, Nils knows how to catch a salmon, that's for sure!

Noted! But we are aware to hold right and in a short moment. Thanks for your comment.
Tight lines from the camera man😊
Cheers pal. Tight lines.

Salmon beached… like 45 seconds out of water… 3 hooks flies… thats a very bad ethic👎🏻
Lesson learned, Thanks.
