Atlantic Salmon

The Freshwater King

The Atlantic salmon is the aristocrat of freshwater game fish. They are highly prized by fly fishermen because of their beauty, fighting ability and the skill required to catch them.

This freshwater ruler offers enough heart leaping and soul satisfying sport in locations of raw beauty to quench any fishing thirst.

Wading thigh deep on an Atlantic salmon river, such as the Varzuga in Russia is one of the most exciting things any fly fisherman can experience. There is a certain optimism that grips you and keeps you casting for hours on end, strongly believing that the next cast will be the one that connects you with your dreams.

From the banks of so many rivers, from Russia to the Scottish Highlands, the Romans glimpsed his flashing beauty and they named him Salmo which means 'The Leaper'. Their migration to the river of their birth has sparked the imagination of many writers and fishermen and it is the salmons mystery that maintains its unending fasciantion.
