"I was just lucky to get it . . . I think". Said by every true angler everywhere.

The sea trout are so beautiful, well done for returning your fish.

It’s wonderful! Thank you, Master! From Russia with love!

Well done sir, magic and lovely memories!

@@frodinflies WOW! Cool...did you fish Mountain of Cascade Lakes for Trout? Or try to find a salmon Ling or Rockfish ? I know the fishing at both are usually successful. I used to fish both lakes but of late..none of my bait was working. The Chief of LACoFD is a good friend who loves to fish both salt-fresh. He came here to visit in Aug (after years of my building up what great fishing we had) and we could not get a single bite in either lake, or even out on the sea during a Humpie salmon season. Open to fishing year-round. Fishing for kokanee is good from late-May to early-June and in the fall. Other opportunities include cutthroat trout, eastern brook trout, and jumbo triploid rainbow trout that are stocked in the spring

Beautiful. Would love to experience this.

Well done my friend!

Pretty decent fish, you've managed to hook...nice.👍😀

Beautiful fish very lucky man

Ever consider using barbless hooks? Good video!

Yeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh ... launching line with precision

Why is there a hatchery here? Can fish pass the dam and is there spawning habitat?

@frodinflies

No there is no passing above the dam yet - but thats what we fight for! We need the wild fish to spawn!

I have fished the Dalalven a few times. The Kungsadren is a short stretch of the river directly below the dam, which runs nearly dry for most of the year. In late Sept/Oct, Im not sure when, the operators of the fishery open a gate and allow this area to run as it would have done in the past. All the fish trapped below this area, both Salmon and Sea trout, run up into it, that is the ones who have survived the hot summer, as they try to ascend to suitable spawning grounds. They never are able to progress further as the dam has no pass. The fish are trapped here, although I do believe that there is some spawning here. Many fish die of heat stress in hot summers, trapped in the area directly below this stretch, the survivors ascend into this small area, in the autumnal fishery. In the past the fish would ascend 100/200 miles up this river but can no longer do so due to hydro power. This is the case with most Swedish rivers. 99.9% of the Salmon are hatchery fish, there would be no Salmon in the river without the hatchery. Sweden was a heaven for the Salmon before man, destroyed nearly every river in Sweden. I fished the river in 2023 and realised finally that it was an immoral thing, as the fish are so stressed by being blocked from any possibility of ascending the river to their historic grounds.

Hello Mr Frodin, Just wondering if have you some new fishing videos coming up, Thanks in advance.

Could you do a video of your two handed rods and salmon reels etc?

There is one on our social media from last year... maybe we should put it here too...

When did you start using the double handed rod,or have you always used one?

Hi Steve - started back in the mid 70s... but before that only single handed.

What is the song used for the introduction of the video?

Spinning fishing is easier and more efficient. Is it probably very wise to release fish caught in the river in order to buy it later in the store? 😁

Nice fish sir, well played. I always try to keep my salmon under the surface when fighting. They seem to throw hooks on those head shakes. Do they get tired faster when you bring them to the surface?

normally when lifting the head they get calm and easy to land i think... small fish is easy to get in fast before they get exhausted - important for the release!
