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!!

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.

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.

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….😔

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.

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.

Nicely tied Mikael and another pattern to try on tough days 👍

Would you recommend Emån or kungsadram for sea trout?

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
