It took me 5 years to catch my first salmon, fishing 5 or 6 times a year. I lost 22 salmon in a row. I began to doubt my sanity! I changed flies, leader material and developed strange rituals to try and dispel my bad luck. In the end a very nice man called Arthur Coombes caught a salmon and gave me his fly. 15 minutes later I caught my first salmon on Arthur's fly. It was a Bann Special, but with a red head. I have used it ever since. Well done for persevering! Great videos, thank you.
Dr John....what is the availability like on this river?....Was thinking of bringing my family over for a week as long as it was possible for a cast or two.
+Colin Tait Hi! There’s normally no problem to get a fishing permit but weekends in May and September might be fully booked, at least in late May. You can check it yourself on www.sveaskog.se/morrum/ John
+DrJohnTheAngler Thank's very much for the heads up on that...time for some research. ...looks very much like some of the rivers I fish...only the fish are better class...great film.
Hei John, må bare spørre siden jeg mister myyyyye laks på flue. Men jeg gir ikke tilslag med stanga, lar laksen dra ut selv enten med løkke eller løs brems men dem sitter aldrig på mer enn 20 sek. elvene jeg fisker tar somregel fisken flua nedstrøms. anbelfaler du å gi tilslag? funker det for deg? takk på forhånd :) Tight lines fra norge
+snalle82 Hej, Jag har bromsen ganska löst men håller hårt i linan och drar till direkt när jag fisk, sedan bromsar jag med handen. Viktig att hålla upp spöet under fighten. Men ibland tappar man fisk även om man gör allt rätt och ibland landar man en fisk även om man gör allt fel. /John
Hi, I normally use either a 13,7 ft (May) or a 12,6 ft rod (summer/autumn). Line 9#. But the choice always depends on the water flow and size of flies. /John

What is that white stripe tied around the rod? 8:07
Hi,
It's length markings. Makes it easier to quickly measure the fish. /John
interesting, never seen that before
