Mikael Frödin created the Frödinflies brand in Sweden back in 1985. Together with his son Jakob, he launched the new Frödinflies company in 2016 - an independent platform for fly fishing innovation, drawing on a lifetime of experience gained on the river.
Nature vs Greed – Take Action for Wild Salmon!
For decades, we have been fighting for free-flowing rivers and the protection of wild fish stocks. The last decade it’s become clear that the aggressive expansion of the Norwegian fish farming industry is the greatest threat to our remaining wild salmon stocks.
Experts in the international scientific salmon research community all agree that fish farming contributes to genetic pollution, fjord systems heavily infested with sea lice where few or any smolt survive, and an increasing rate of disease spreading into wild ecosystems. We have warned you before! And now it’s becoming more and more obvious, the time is running out for our wild salmon stocks.

Pattern of the Month - #53 Thunder Pig
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.19 часов назад
This fly inherits its magical colour combination from the classic Thunder & Lightning-an exceptionally effective blend of discrete colours. During pattern trials, the Thunder Pig caught fish when more traditional flies failed. It’s a must-have in our boxes, especially for those days when the river carries a peaty hue.

Pattern of the Month #52 - Stealth Samurai
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.Месяц назад
A superb fly for fast water and gin-clear rivers. The trick to making the fly vanish in the clear water, combined with the greyish hackles, produces a camouflaged, living, swimming fly that has proven effective worldwide for many years. We love this fly for Iceland and the Norwegian west coast clear rivers. We believe it's best fished fast across the current, almost invisible and very seductive...

The broad spectrum gives it a fantastic shine and an appearance that suits any river with some colour. When the early season river starts to clear up, the Nasty Rusty Flash Wing is a great choice. Tied on the super light BTT, it's ideal for a hea...

This classic fly holds a special place in Mikael's heart as one of his earliest favourites. The beautifully composed body reflects the artistry of the Victorian era.

Simple yet enchanting, this fly exudes a certain magic, ...
Bolstad Opening 2023 - Perseverance Pays Off

Join us on the opening days of one of the most classic rivers of all time - the mighty Vosso. The lower stretch is home to more stories about battles with giant fish than maybe anywhere else; the Bolstad beat. A fish wasn't considered truly big until it tipped the scales at 60 lbs, with 40 and 50 lbs catches being a regular occurrence, and even some enormous salmon exceeding 70 lbs. Though the ...

Просмотров 5 тыс.5 месяцев назад
This is one of Mikael’s absolute favourites among the old classic Spey and Dee flies. Already in the early 80s, he had good catches on both Dee strip-winged versions and this one, with a little cinnamon-colored hair wing tied in flat over the mobile heron-hackled body. This classic fly features humus colours, and perhaps that’s one of the reasons it's been so effective on our Baltic rivers and ...

Join us on a trip to the majestic Ljungan River, meeting the Baltic sea just south of the small town of Sundsvall; the river is renowned for hosting some of the largest Baltic salmon. While its lower reaches flow wild and untamed, further upstream, the landscape is wrecked by a daunting dam, halting the migration of wild fish. Despite extensive restoration projects, the lower section remains th...

Flash wings have gained increasing popularity in recent years. Mikael tied his first flash wing for Gaulfossen back in the early 80’s. This new design is elevated by a stiff underwing that effectively holds the flash away from the hook. The innovative SSS Flash blend, combined with the new Glitz Dubbing Brush, makes tying exceptionally easy. To add motion, ostrich hackles are tied in front of t...

This little Pig has proven to be a truly effective fly for big fish. Many have watched Mikael & Håkan's unique adventure with the great 55 lbs salmon at Steinfossen that fell for a fly like this. On a sunny day, when the fish are particularly tricky, the Nasty Banana Pig may do the trick. Our new little invention; the FITS Feeler Cones, controlling the feelers' position and ensuring a well-bala...

The classic of all classics! This masterpiece of John “Jock” Scott is the most famous of all salmon fly patterns. Some say you cannot consider yourself a true salmon angler without catching a salmon on a classic Jock Scott. You find versions of the Jock Scott, or flies heavily inspired by this pattern in the boxes and wallets of almost every single salmon angler. The black and yellow colours ma...
Pattern of the Month #44 - Sunray Samurai
Просмотров 5 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Sunrays have taken more fish than maybe any other modern fly. Originating from Norwegian Laerdal river and Ray Brooks where Mikael used to ghillie, it in many ways changed the fly tradition. This soft swimming version tied on a TTT has the same colours - the great black/white contrast but with the Ostrich hackles forming a modern soft drop form it swims great. When you see the white and black o...

In this film Mikael deals with is “fly tying material from hell” - deer hair! To fish on the surface is exciting and can be done with fat bombers or lightly dressed classic dries. We prefer flies that are possible to skate even in hard wavy waters. This little discrete brown fly is thanks to the combination of deer hair and foam almost impossible to sink. It’s about as close to an insect imitat...

Can you make a video on how to spot farmed fish vs wild fish? That would help alot.
Thanks Mikael! Time is of the essence now.
I have spent my last summer in Norwegian Finnmark searching for a dream...because everything it's over now. If I look this actual catastrophic situation, I'm happy because scandinavian fishermen are the last genetic group who never had thought to practise catch&release policy. I never had seen someone of them to release a fish! I felt me like an Ufo along their rivers. I'm really sad because they have the best rivers in the world for salmon fishing, now completely destroyed for the facts that we know very well. I hope that their wealthy system collapse very soon for their stupid blindness vs. wild stocks protection. Money are devil's children...like ever.
I been living in Oslo almost 20 years now. And before like 10 years ago you could get a great sea-trout at Oslo fjord , now it’s almost totally dead not even cod anymore. And nobody is concerned about it, but buying new electrical cars like crazy thinking that they gonna save something this way. I was shocked when they closed rivers this summer, am even considering to quit fishing. I immigrated from Baltic countries to Norway hopping for less corruption and so on but Jesus what am seeing here is just unbelievable. The thing is that Norway as almost any other country has big problems with some kinda retardant politicians. Any way keep pushing Frødin!💪🏻

Good for you🎉🔥
Just this past few weeks here in NW Ireland we have had an estimated 30,000-40,000 escaped farm fish from one establishment in Killary Fjord.......compounded by the fact the owners refused to notify authorities in a timely manner. This can have a devastating affect on some EXTREMELY fragile small spate fisheries for a long distance north and south of the escape. Unfortunately, the relevant government people are incompetent and more importantly the statutory body with responsibility, IFI, are truly and UTTERLY incompetent at ALL things apart from harassing normal recreational fly fisherman it would seem. Ohhhhhh the joys 🤦🤦🤦🤦😡
I absolutely agree with you, all consumers should boycott a fish that must be considered as a junk food because it threatens the balance of an entire ecosystem. It is only a matter of marketing, job opportunities and big money against the wild salmon that exists since thousands years and this one could disappear because of this silly human greed. So bad. You can find farmed salmon on daily menus on almost all restaurants, like pork, chicken, etc. You can have it everywhere. A true product from the food industry, that you are right, must be boycotted. I personally don’t eat it, and so my family, since years. You did a great job with this video and believe me you did it right. We must fight not only for the wild salmon but for all these wild places that are so unique! Let’s keep up the fight, THE WILD salmon deserve it!!
so lets fight!!!
A great video Mikael, there is no place for open water salmon farming in these times and as you say there are other options. Personally I have not killed a salmon in over 25 years and believe it should be made illegal until such times that the species recovers. I have mailed the authorities in Sweden, Norway and Scotland and will continue to ensure that my friends, colleagues and family know the truth about the plight of our wild salmon and that they are being driven to extinction by the greed of salmon farming businesses and our governments by granting licences to them. Keep up the good fight, let’s hope it’s not too late when they eventually listen.
Thank you Alex!
Good stuff Mikael! It was a scandalous summer in Fennoskandia, I sincerely hope we can reverse the trend to be able to share this amazing sport with our children !
If you want people to support the end of open pen salmon farming you need to do a better job of explaining why it is so detrimental to the wild stocks. You did a bad job of explaining that. It really didn't sound that bad. More like you just don't like it.
Dear Jamie - the purpose of this little film was not to explain why open pen fish farming is the biggest threat to our wild salmon stocks. That we have done in many films and text over the years. In fact we think that all conserned anglers following also the scientific salmon fishing community knows this is a fact. The purpose of this film was to engage people to take action for the fast declining stocks of wild salmon. To demand change so we can save this specie for future generations.
It is now out of control,these fish are becoming extinct before our very eyes and our 'governments' are tucked up in bed with this vile industry.Any means possible or he is right once the wild fish are gone they are gone forever,we cannot stand back and watch this happen
All farms should be on land not in the ocean and spread parasites and diseases and destroy wild animals and nature
If you are going to promote catch and release you need to back it up with data,facts ,evidence ,that it works ,i am yet to see anyone manage to do that .
I have the feeling, that a lot of Norwegian salmon fishermen, fish for their freezer, and if the can’t have their smoked salmon, because of CR, they would rather close the rivers, by screaming animal abuse, and animal welfare violation. If this happens we might get to fish with hook less flies….😔
well you would be very wrong in that. if you have an evidence that catch an release works ,do feel free to share it ?
So sad the things people will ignore just because the wrong people / problem people keep handing them money, the politicians get fat and greedy just like the parasites and spread disease with their corruption, i hope they do the right thing and help bring the beautiful rivers and salmon back to how they were before.
Well said👋
And when the eco system collapse...it starts domino efect.. people need to think about it seriously. Its time for change.
Its sad so sad... really have no words..i wish better times
Using LAW Merchant as a tool will help you succeed with all the corruption. It is unlawful what is happening and using law merchant send them a notice of liability and charge politicians $10,000 per day until they stop this . This is how we use our power in power .
Thanks for your engagement! It is a scandal what norway does, just greed no responsibility….i banned norway of my life in every aspect.
Great video. Well said and thank you for all your efforts. We will continue the fight for our wild salmon 👊🏼
So you lost me when you got to c&r ! some rivers need it some do not. More fish on spawning beds does not equal more salmon ,in fact the opposite can be true . If you are going to promote c&r then lets see the facts ? and please do not give the old "more fish to spawn argument " it does not wash anymore ,there is a not a single argument i can see for catch an release in healthy rives ,if the salmon population is so small on certain rivers close them ! If you want to really protect all wild salmon stop putting a hook in them ! the river Dee has had total c&r for what 25 years ,you see any improvement ? because i do not but i do see the tackle industry and river owners happy to see fish caught multiple times ,you talk about greed ,its not just the salmon farmers who are greedy ,is it .
As always, Mikael your passion shines through-we need to mobilise opinion across Europe. In Scotland, politicians also seem oblivious to the plight of wild salmon. Greed before nature is a powerful message that needs to be at the forefront of campaigning.
I totally agree. We have the same problem in Scotland. The Scottish government have just allowed the fish farm companies to remove the word " farmed " from the front of packets of Salmon. The general public are now being duped. I tell everyone not to eat this . The environmental damage caused is off the scale. The government are looking away because farmed Salmon is Scotlands number 1 food export. It makes them too much money!
nice little pattern to try Mikael look forward to the rubber cone appearing on the market
OK, I take my words back - you proved you like this fly :) By the way, what do you think of using Pheasant rump feather instead of the ostrich? it gives a bit slimmer fly and still a lot of motion.
Haha - Good! Well i dont think rump gives a slimmer fly that much. When dry yes but not when wet .. Ostrich slims down and moves great behind the cone. If Slimmer do only one turn, even slimmer strip one side of the feather. Does it make sense?
@@frodinflies yes, makes sense - thanks
Nicely tied Mikael and another pattern to try on tough days 👍
Would you recommend Emån or kungsadram for sea trout?
both are very nice - both hard to get licensis to fish i am afraid......
Just beautiful, Mikael. I really admire your work.
Incredible craftsmanship. That is a real stunner!
In Michigan we have a green tinted river with lake run salmon and a lot of smallmouth bass. When the salmon aren't in, I fish a 5 weight 2 hander with some of your flies for bass and they are very, very productive. I am a big fan of your work. All the best.
Thank you Mikael for another magnificent video, you are a true inspiration. I have done alot of amazing fishing south of the equator but I have not felt such excitement to experience the Nordic region like I am at the moment. Again thank you for sharing your life experiences. Regards, Clint Engel from Australia ❤
Beautiful profile Mikael, turned out amazing, thanks for teaching this to me!!! ❤
Hi Mikael, if there is anything I can do to help preserve the Alta, I'm here to help, even though I am 15,000km away in Australia. Let me know!! ❤
I need this in my life, I'll be doing some recon there in September 2024. Thanks for a great video guys ❤
Sweet pattern, thanks!
Hej Mikael! Jag och min far fiskade och arrenderade en sträcka nere på Helland. Det var från 1977 till 1995. Vi var där när de påbörjade kraftverksbygget 1979. Den 25 juli 1985 krokade min far en hanlax på spinn kl 4 på morgonen. Den var 125 cm lång och vägde 20,4 kilo. Tog honom 55 minuter att få på land. Det var den korta grova stammen som finns i älven. Det finns även en lång och slank typ av lax. Samma år som min far fick sin togs en som vägde 22 kilo längre upp i Suldal. Den var 142 cm lång..... Hade den varit av den grova typen hade den vägd över 30 kilo. Största som fångats vägde 34 kilo och togs av en engelsman 1912. Skeppsredare Bergesen som samlade och löste in alla fasta fisken, tog på 1950-talet en lax på 29 kilo i Sandsfossen. 1977 släppte han många sträckor och det var då som vi arrenderade en av dess på Helland. Första mannen på månen, Neil Armstrong, har fiskat lax i älven. Den har en mycket intressant historia om vilken du kan läsa i boken LAKSEN OG LÅGEN av Tor Sylte. Där finner du en del av det jag berättat här ovan. Mvh Ronny Svensson Värnamo rslasergravyr@gmail.com
Just wow,!!! Happy birthday
Wish you would handle and respect the fish better. Especially as they are all going back. Where is the Landing net? Shouldn’t allow them to thrash against the rocks where they can damage themselves and why are you holding them by the tail only? Please try to be a better sportsman
yappings
Thanks Mr. Frödin!
My Dream is Fishing with us - but not with this fly 😉
That's not salmon - fly … 😞
This fly must be able to call so loudly that salmon can hear it in the open sea because there are no fish in the rivers yet ...🤪
Nice pattern Mikael and tightlines in Gaspe 👊
That is hardcore wading!
Time for a new camera. Video quality is terrible 👎
Nice ties ! 👍 It seems your Salar hooks are no longer available… What brand/size (single, double, triple?) would you recommend for your 3cm Micro Series Tube flies ? Thanks
A great looking fly
