The Magical Mio - Iceland

The Mio is actually called the Midfjardara but it is called Mio to distinguish it from its north-west coast cousin. It is lucky to be one of the ‘Six Rivers’ a relatively new brand under which fall six rivers... the Sela, the Hofsa, its tributary the Sunnudalsa, the Hafralonsa, the Midfjardara and finally the Vesturdalsa. These rivers benefit from the most forward-thinking Atlantic salmon conservation effort in Iceland. The river is best fished with either a single-handed rod all the way up to a 12 or even 13ft rod. Floating line is the normal and the rule so ONLY floating line.

Fathoming the Flowers

A 6-weight, single-hander in hand, maybe a 7, 8 or 9 weight, with a floating line, 8lbs (try 6lbs in lower water or later in the season) test and most likely a bee bomber (yes, a bomber that looks like a bumble bee!) as your fly. You have before you a crystal clear medium paced river and you can see salmon lying in front of you between five and fifteen yards away. It is hard to believe that these fish are going to rise and take a dry fly like a trout. There had to be a catch, but the truth is, there really is not. This is the real deal – dead drifting a dry fly to Atlantic salmon.

Finnish Feeding Frenzy

Set in mid-Finland, a very peaceful and pretty part of the country, Kellankoski Lodge provides unique trout fishing for large wild trout. For the majority of the season the fishing is focused on these large predatory trout hunting the runs of baitfish (bleak, rouch and vendace) that come out of the lakes and into the faster sections of river to spwan. It is not uncommon to see the trout busting the baitfish in the fast water time and again. As the season progresses into August there is more dry fly orientated fishing for the same large trout. There is also great pike fishing year round.

Man Mountain Turns Personal Guide - Norway

It was with joy when we received a call from Geir Gåsland to tell us that he was fulfilling his dream to become a guide in his home territory. He has worked in the sports/outdoor industry for his whole career, but it was always other people walking out the door to enjoy the wilderness of Finmark and not him. He finally made it to start his own guiding business covering fishing, shooting and foraging. His home is Finmark, he now lives in Alta but he has lived in Hammerfest and Lakselv where his Mum lives, he would say that his ‘home’ rivers are Alta, Stabburselva, Lakselv and Repparfjordelva.
