Looked like a great river to fish and you hit it just right . Another reason to get out and fish , the more you go the odds of days like this increase, and who doesn’t want to complain about a sore arm :-) until next time . Happy Trails
It's worth noting that the brood fish for the stocked fish are from this river, and offspring are nurtured in these rivers, before being released here. Therefore, they go to the sea and return to their 'birth' rivers as is typical. These aren't salmon reared in concrete tanks and tossed in the river to be caught, like trout stocking in many U.S. states.
Full rod for 4 days - GB£3,950 - £6,150 / EUR €4,425 - €6,890 if you don't have money, stay at home and watch UA-cam ;) Good advertising is a trade lever
Useless river. Farmed salmon, doesn t rise to a fly. Since they re used to pellets. You have to fish w sinking lines and heavy flies. In summer..... Don t waste your money!
It's worth noting that the brood fish for the so-called 'stocked' fish are FROM this river, and offspring are nurtured IN these rivers, before being fully released here. Anglers are asked to keep large fish of both sexes and these are kept in holding cages in the river, and later the milt and roe are 'milked' from them and the roe is fertilized. These eggs are incubated and kept in the river until they reach a given size and are released. Ultimately, they go to the sea, grow to decent size and then return to their 'birth' rivers as is typical. These are NOT salmon reared in concrete tanks or in ocean pens on pellet food and then tossed in the river to be caught, like trout stocking in many U.S. states. In the old days in Iceland, one could (and many did) catch literally dozens of salmon in a day and keep them to eat and feed themselves and their families, or sell to markets. Some of these rivers were severely over-fished, and even though there was good natural spawning, it has taken decades of careful management to allow Nature to recover (to say nothing about hydro-electric dams...). In the Rangá ecosystem's case, there has been responsible, conscientious management to overcome natural spawning limitations to create a remarkable angling experience. It's just too bad my wallet isn't fat enough to enjoy it much.
Great film as always Mikael, that another one on my wish list🤞
I don't hear the words "great run, lots of aggressive salmon" too much anymore. Great to hear and see that. t
Mikael those days don't happen often but when they do it's just paradise. 😁

East ranga is a wonderful river. Fished there in 2018 and cought a 102cm cock salmon in my second ever season salmon fishing. Hope i can be back soon
22 salmon in 3 or 4 hours 50 salmon in 3 days to one rod thats unbelievable what great days on the river they must have been.
Great video, Scottish rivers are on the decline ...enjoyed that .Cheers Stevie

amazing video. did you used riffle hitch or only wet flies ? for me riffle hitch is my way to go everywhere in the world for salmon
this time no riffle ..river coloured up pretty bad..
I'm curious, the Sindri guy mentioned that your flies were very effective. Any chance of sharing what flies your were using? :)
sure...Phatakorva, Sierrakorva, inflames all on TTT and a couple of samuraies
@@frodinflies WOW! Thanks! 🤓
Difficult to watch... I am too envious¡ Maybe indeed you should have tried the dry... and film it 😉
wild or stocked?
Do you think better runs are correlated with reduced commercial fishing at sea
Yes.
Without question. Our numbers have improved in Eastern Canada with the reduction in Greenlands commercial fishery.
Absolutly! The commercial fishing for Atlantic salmon is still what catch most fish and effect stocks. The worst threat now is fish farming ..by far!
What disturbes a fish more than a fly line ?
Careless wading and a very rare mink, that's about it.
Where is the guide to net your fish ?
well Bill usually fish without a guide...
What rod is he using in this video? Is it NT8 or?
Hi on this clip I fish samples of the new SALAR S2 that we will release shortly. ... but also som Hardy Zephreus
SALAR Rods released check them at www.frodinflies.com/collections/salar-s2-rods
I wish I could live your life fishing for a week
You gotta get a net bro
Fantastic 4000 euro for a week not for the working man
Full rod for 4 days - GB£3,950 - £6,150 / EUR €4,425 - €6,890

Primetime is crazy money - but there is always a chance to fish shoulder weeks and share a rod... i do a lot of sharing acctually

well ... its bloody cold! ... but in many places very shallow and the fast lines is not necessary..
farmed fish is nasty
