The Big Red

Fly fishing for seriously big arctic char in the Swedish Lapland. This is a re-edit of Lapland Dreams 3.

[@martynfletcher2054]

Another beautifully shot and inspirational video that really captures the spirit of fishing we all share. Also, lots of coffee drinking and the fish go back unharmed. Perfect. Thank you.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Martyn. Really appreciate it :) Cheers

[@antoniomora1255]

A dream of a fishing day. The solitude of the landscape, the red coloured fish fighting hard and working into the backing líne...what a beautiful video...a pleasant relaxing music and the soft light of a cloudy windless day... a very quiet zen experience... a nice cup of freshly made coffee drunk by the fire on a fishing talk with a friend..the beautiful flowers...that moose running uphill...a dream, definitely, for us Nature lovers.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Antonio. Really appreciate it :) Cheers

I love the pace of your films, it reflects the emotions of our sport so perfectly. The colours and beauty of those char is utterly incredible and to see the backing peel off the reel for so long is something I wouldn't have expected. Another gem of a film, so thanks for all the hours of editing and hard work!

Thanks Richard. Really appreciate it :) Cheers

I am so addicted to sweden, especially lapland and those chars are beautiful! Can you give me a rough hint in which areas i have to go to find lakes like these? Would very much appreciate it.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Most of these waters are very hard to reach by foot. I would recommend contacting some of the helicopter services in northern Sweden (there are a few, easily found by a quick search) and ask them for a recommendation. They know all the waters and can take you to places like this. Cheers
