Norway - the Land of the Midnight Sun,  has a breathtaking and unparalleled Nordic magnetism- a raw beauty that no other country on the planet can boast. Its unbelievably stunning  fjords, and soaring and austere snow capped mountains,  garnish some of the most majestic rivers on earth.These harbor some of the planet’s incredibly large Atlantic salmon to be found- up to 90 pounds have been recorded, along with sea trout,  brown trout and mayfly/ stonefly hatches once in the greatest  quantities imaginable. But it is in these rivers- the playground of all of Europe, that our beloved salmon could have been loved to death.From the thousands of salmon fish farms feeding the insatiable appetite of the world for Omega -3 ‘s and the health benefits of salmon, have come the spread of  disease, and pollution of wild  genetics by escaped salmon breeding with wild ones , Add the decades of killing of big brood stock salmon by anglers,  and climate change’s ugly head, could  our magnificent salmon of the Viking gods met their tragedy- or Viking Ragnarök? With the river closures implemented this summer, more is needed to protect these magnificent beasts from decimation. We raise a skål to you in helping us educate and love these truly magnificent creatures.  Do you enjoy the show?  Please take a moment to like and leave a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

Broadcasting from the River Dee, of Scotland I can only speak superlatives: ” It is a  stark and austere landscape of unparalleled magnetism and raw beauty- everything about this once called Caledonia breathes the free spirited Scottish will to survive. It is a badge of courage and tartan plaid not common in todays’s timid and dwarfed world. From the rugged highland mountains and winds that sweep through the moors and glens of the north country; to the lowland agricultural and industrial plains, the Scottish people ooze a charm and strong willed working class vibe, which shines though their rough to understand brogues and unwillingness to be conquered. From the last dividing line of the Roman conquest and Hadrian's Wal, the  spirit we have seen in Braveheart of staving off the British- in it all shows the spirt of Scotland. But it is in the rivers and its salmon- the playgrounds of the Royalty like Balmoral on the River Dee- the river beats of Robert Harper’s landlords and noble heritage, shines on , despite dwindling numbers of returning salmon. Long live Scotland! Do you enjoy the show?  Please take a moment to like and leave a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

Our fascination and allure with Salmon salar dates back to Neanderthal man and ancient Roman civilization. It is truly the fish of kings and queens, and rivers that run through regal estates, and vast wilderness areas in the north like Labrador, Arctic Russia and Scandinavia . Why I am so grateful we have a thriving Atlantic salmon fishery in Michigan. But to the gastronomic world , it could be one of the most cherished dishes we have ever come to love to death . However, to the fly fisher, it is by far the most sporting, most savagely beautiful, and beguiling fish that will rise to take the fly. Its relationship to the highly sought after brown trout makes Atlantic salmon the king of all bucket list game fish Though many Atlantic salmon fisheries are experiencing hardships in the world due to the effects of over-harvesting, commercial fish farms and the extremes of climate change, the Gaspe of Quebec’s rivers and wild Atlantic salmon are thriving very well, thanks to forward thinking and tight ecological management. David Bishop is one of the top Atlantic salmon guides on the planet- bar none! And together with host Matthew Supinski , they bring you the secret world of diving into the fish’s mind and spirit, tactics and flies, and current world challenges facing the courageous Salmo salar and its verve to survive- don’t miss this one!

Every time I go to this river and see the stark plains, rolling hills and buttes, I can only think of the bad day at the office General Custer had, wishing he never got on his horse that June day as his troops were rightly so demolished by the proud natives. As opposed to Custer on the other hand, those German brown trout settlers to the new world that swam up the Big Horn from the Yellowstone; or were haphazardly stocked by a settler’s milk canister, were on the road to a trutta Mecca. Once they felt the Bighorn’s cold waters and tasted the amazingly fertile food-rich fauna, they established one of the finest brown trout dynasties on the planet. Bighorn book author/ guide, and former Buffalonian: Steve Galetta, discusses the nuances, hatches, terrestrials and tactics needed to fool its bigger browns and rainbows that swim in these vast Montana/Wyoming American trout waters-don’t miss this one!
