  • Fly fishing for salmon in Sweden. The rivers connecting to the Baltic Sea have some of the world's largest salmon. In this video, we are fishing at Fish Your Dream destination Camp Onka in Lainio river upstream of Kangos. With me, I have Guides Grim and Luke and we are out pre-fishing two days before the first guests come for the season.
    Fishing can be extremely challenging during this period due to that there is only a few fish that has yet entered the river but the average size is very good.
    The Salmon in this video measured 114 cm and is estimated to weigh about 15 kilos.
    More information about the fishing at Camp Onka:

    My rod setup used in this video:
    Rod: Vision XO #10 14’8
    Reel: Vision XLV #9-10
    Line: Vision ACE Sink 3-5 46g

    The look in your eyes shortly after the release gave a whole new insight into your life as a flyfisherman... Congratulations as hell Robert! Så galet snyggt ju!

    More than anything, I'm just impressed that you were able to keep narrating in English while going through what must have been total blind panic 😂. What a fish, well done!

    Congratulations Robert! I guess you’ve just got “bit” by the salmon virus 🦠 Now there’s no turning back. My first salmon was a angry 8.5 kg male. A 15 kg fish must have been an lifetime experience. Congrats again buddy! Awesome 👏

      Thank you Eivind. Yes, lucky it is not prime time for salmon all the time so there is a chance to actually do enjoyable fishing for other species 😊

    Great fish! The highlight is watching it swim away b/c you released it and the fish gets to fight another day.. Well done! Tight lines. All the way from NL.

    A truly magical fish you landed. Amazingly, I landed a 32lbs Atlantic Salmon on the same day you caught your fish. Caught mine on the Grand Cascapedia in Quebec. It was the largest salmon I have ever caught. It was an indescribable thrill and experience. Very happy for you and your journey to fishing Zen.

    Congratulations! What a beauty! And what a fight! 🎣 After hooking a big salmon earlier this year myself, The fish got off the fly, what immense power! I got ”bit” and now I will be fishing for salmon this summer in various rivers. 😄

    @johnbrown3951 Před rokem +1

    My first time on a well known Salmon river in Scotland when the owner of the tackle shop told us we had no chance and too go home I waded out and hooked my first Salmon that was too big for our trout nets I was taking advice from my mate who's Dad owned a beat on a river and once we landed it he informs me he had never had one on the fly. That memory will stay with me for ever. I have had a Springer over 20lbs on a rapala and another on the fly but the 1st one is the one that is the special one. Congratulations.

  • @ibana8449
    @ibana8449 Před rokem +1

    What a magnificent fish, the game is to catch which motivates anglers across the globe. But there is no finer feeling than holding that fish in the water after the battle to land it, feeling it’s heart pumping and helping it recover. The anticipation of it feeling recovered and swimming away from your hold, is as good as the take. An emotionally draining event, nature at its finest. Great stuff Robert.

    Congrats Robert from Canada! I have been trying for 3 years to land a summer salmon, hooked a few but never landed any yet- when those big head shake start i always get nervous. I hope this year is the year for me! Would like to see more salmon fishing from you on the double handed rod!

      Very cold water and no current at all, fish is using less than half of the power it CAN provide when the water temp is higher etc. Very VERY slack fish for that size.

    (I just caught my first Striped Bass on a 6 wt at Cape Cod. Estimate the size at 24 to 26". Not a huge fish but a great fight. They have a well earned reputation.)
