I am Irish and of all the places in the workd which has beautiful salmon in great sizes and numbers I think Russia remains the one country I dream of going to fish. And I will do it in a few years from now. Thanks for the video.

What a shame current world situation in 2024 how I would love to go to Russia

If you want to see some more from these rivers check out some of the other films. Litza is quite well shown in the Low water Tactics film

Thankyou for your reply..would love to fish these pristine salmon rivers.my dream as a salmon fisherman of over 35yrs..hopefully one day..many thanks

[@junjieralph]

Fishing in river is love

[@johnkenny694]

Whats the sea trout fishing like up there?

[@salmonninja7223]

I wish Mikael was my dad... Fantastic video.

[@salmonninja7223]

@Robert Ward. Get a life Robert. The comment below by Johnston Stewart suggests he would donate his left testicle to fish on that river... You see Robert, people have a joke about things now and then. I'm sure Johnston really doesn't mean that. It's just a statement that shows his passion for something. My comment merely shows how much respect I have for Mikael. I admire him as an angler and enjoy his fishing videos. And another thing... You don't know why I fish, nor my parental situation. For all you know I could be an orphan and Mikael is the father I have always longed for. Get yourself out and about a bit. Meet people. Talk to them. We're not all bad. Take care Robert.

[@andikarizki]

Fishing oke 👍

[@greenhighlander7940]

A gillie on the Helmsdale lays released fish on the bottom of the river (on their sides, head upstream in calmish water). After a while, they rise in the water, turn upright, and swim away. I have tried it several times, watching carefully, and it works. Of course you need calmish water and a suitable river bed.......

[@tenshibokusatu3260]

18:20 that jump on the tail out of the pool by another fish... ahah

[@zymbotictoot]

Good eye! I missed that

[@Lari-wz4yr]

Nice video again from mr. Frödin. When we see same kind of a video from legendary finnish salmon river teno?

[@frodinflies]

Havn't fished it yet - but one day hopefully!

[@angelwhite376]

First you meet your true love your women. Then when you meet the salmon it's honey bunn by by gone fishing.. Nice to see real fisherman at work. I to catch and realise..

[@DavidBrown-po3fv]

A competent caster will catch plenty of fish on these rivers. The fish are there, and in good numbers

[@shafiratmg]

I like video rusia 👍 Friend from indonesia

[@zeph6439]

We find that using a barb-less hook really helps with catch and release, and you never lose any fish because of it.. You just flatten the barb with pliers - and there's no damage done.

[@frodinflies]

Hi Zeph I agree - we fish a lot barbless and it works just fine!

[@zeph6439]

Is that Atlantic salmon??

You must make one hell of lot money, from selling Frodin Flies!! :o)>~

[@frodinflies]

haha... unfortunately not, but after a life in the business there are some opportunities

[@Roolis77]

Mister Frodin, How much did you spend in total for 40 + weeks fishing in Kharlovka? if one week costs about usd 25K then total spend should be around 1 mln usd in these years??

[@frodinflies]

haha... I know I am a spoiled SOB

[@Roolis77]

@@frodinflies Could you be so kind to ask owners to organise a lottery so that any dedicated salmon angler could have a chance to cast a fly in this salmon ghetto. That would be a nice gesture and social payback to a society which is not so wealthy?

[@frodinflies]

@@Roolis77 Thats a good idea! Like on the Alta - I will do that for sure!

Is it closed to western folks now?

[@frodinflies]

well... i think but if you could should You?

[@regjenkinson6247]

Do these fish die after reaching their spawning grounds and spawning

[@frodinflies]

Some die but a lot will go back to sea and some will come back as repeat spawners. Not like Pacific salmon where all will die after spawning.

[@MrBillTaylor]

Steelhead do not all die after spawning. Just like Atlantic Salmon which can repeat many times.

[@stephenasbridge878]

One day, maybe....

[@BigFly028]

Hi Mikael, as I watch this fantasic video I was just admiring your bodywader. I see you regularly kneeling down in the river when handling your salmon. You must damage / repair quite a few pairs? If you don't mind me asking what make are the ones you're wearing in this video. Many thanks for the recent post, keep them comming. Oh, and by the way, not everybody can catch salmon on good wasters!!! 👌👍😉

[@frodinflies]

Hi Thanks! I use Patagonia - they have Knee pads which is superb. They save the knees but also the waders! In this one I Use Rio Gallegos but now this season the new Swift Current expedition waders and yes they are the best i have ever had! Used them 140 days and love them!

[@BigFly028]

[@darenrayson7052]

Beautiful place...unbelievable fishing..how many pennies for a weeks fishing would it cost..how many rods do you allow to fish..cheers

Hi Daren - Check The Kharlovka.com web there you can also find all contact info. Price varies depending on season...

[@tom-erikbiti5486]

Ok, fine if you fish in the best river in world. Ever tried your technics in rivers where salmon won't attack on every movement in the water? Ever tried tana river?

[@frodinflies]

Well I am brought up on public water did at least my first 30 years mainly on public so... and attack every movement in the water? Have you tried it?

you are not in jail yet?

[@frodinflies]

nope - unfortunately they didnt want me... i would have loved to do it for our wild salmon!

[@Zoltan1251]

why dont you show the fish in full?.... i know you want to handle it with care but not even decent full picture?.... i get incredibly angry with americans handling fish like bunch of idiots but this is first time i can say that fisherman is too sensitive.... its not made of porcelain, fish can handle being outside of water for a bit

[@tlpoutdoorsman]

Great vid... appreciate how you take care of the dish, but please hold them up and just above the water, so we can see the entire beautiful fish... and yes trust me it will not hurt the fish.... otherwise your video's are unfinished, unrewarding, boring

[@tonebonetones]

Are you actually a 'game' fisherman, though.? Whilst only fishmongers take every fish home, catch and release is the absurd opposite......torturing fish for fun. No ifs or buts. This is simply coarse fishing for salmon. Meanwhile commercial drift netting harvests thousands of salmon off river mouths all over the UK and Europe. Ask a drift net fisherman if he practices catch and release lol!
