Sautso, Alta - Midnight Sun & Big Fish on a Dry Fly!

Mikael is back on the Sautso beat on the mighty Alta! A few days in the most remotes part of this magic river, in great company and with some extraordinary catches. Watch ecstatic Mika Vainio hook and land his first Alta salmon. And he did it on a skated dry fly - a special moment to remember!

Fantastic as always Mikael. I really enjoy your videos. I have learnt so much from your back catalogue. The Alta is 100% on my river bucket list. 👌🎣

Perkele how good video again!

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Most definitely a special moment catching that salmon skating a dry , congratulations. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic fishing, fish and video. Thank you!

[@dirkvannieuwenhove]

The nature surrounding the Alta and Gaula is simply stunning! I doubt I will ever get to fish these rivers but I have visited them. The Namsen was also high on my list but where we went, it was damned and had a huge fish stairs setup that you could visit. Far from natural situations. Love your videos, they are truly inspirational!

Hi Mikael, fantastic video - excited for the next one. Do you do any guiding these days?

[@nebojsapetrovic2747]

How many years are you using that legendary cap mr. Frodin? You must put it in one museum after all 😉👍

[@frodinflies]

Haha... I am soon old enough to be put in a museum with or with out cap.. hahaha

[@nebojsapetrovic2747]

@@frodinflies I have one GL fly tying catalogue frim 2010 and the cap is there on you 😃. Would you like to make one dry fly for the next month of your tying? In the same catalogue I can see one of your dry fly creation " ET TURBO". Will be interesting to see how you make dry flies and your thoughts about that. Greetings from Norway....

[@frodinflies]

coming up!

Wow, on a single-hand too. Must have been at least a 10W? ( North American terms 10 weight, 500 - 750 grains ?) Just like you said, Mikaël, the best releases are when you do not have to touch the fish. Gratulerer, Hå Det Bra, be safe and tell the old fathers to keep their vests on!! KOS!

[@MrKveite1]

Extremely rare to see a 10w one hander in Norway, most are 7 or 8w sometimes a 9 but even that is rare theese days.

[@auslander1026]

Who would you recommend for guiding in Canada?

[@frodinflies]
