Listen now
Description
He’s the Swedish salmon maestro who fished 250 days a season in his younger years, but he’s more than an expert salmon angler, he’s an ardent conservationist who says he will never stop fighting for the wild salmon.   Mikael Frödin joins us on the latest episode of The Last Salmon with revealing insights into the perilous state of the salmon which he believes could be gone within two decades if current fish farming practises are not stopped.   He also talks about his memorable days of 30lbs fish and the heartbreak of the biggest one that got away.   He’s the ultimate salmon angler who we can all learn from – from fly fishing on the water to saving the fish itself.
