Hi & thanks! Ithink the swift current are the best I have ever had, but then I was also part of the design team so maybe not strange i like them 🙂

@@frodinflies Thank you.

Please read the above - best! M

for me all hatchery fish are genetic polution. why take a fish out of the river that would have spawn naturally - madness!

Its Ok in the summer and yes its possible to get on. Try Mo Laksegard

With barbless hooks you even more rip the fish his mouth, and than you lose them after all !

Hi alan Yes we believe in mother nature! thats the reason hatcheries are a threat to wild. We dont support actions where you take wild fish from a river to produce hatched. and Yes we belive its a form of genetic polution. Every river got severl DNA codes taking fish out and belive its OK just because they come from the same river is making things way to simple! We belive it Wild so please use resurces to protect wild and not to make it Artifishal! ( Please se the Patagonia documentary with the same name - its good!

Thanks for your explanation! I'm a bit confused, why put hatchery fish in the river in the first place? Do you agree or disagree if a hatchery fish can survive in its life cycle and make it back to the river of origin its got the DND coding. We simple do not have enough wild salmon left, for wild reproduction, all we have left is a diminishing stock of wild salmon. I have fished for over 40 years and all the projects that have come and gone have done nothing in boosting the numbers of salmon. All the rivers in the UK are just about fish-less we have no hatchery's here because a few people say they do not work. Please tell me what does work? because the trend all over is less fish returning year on year its in free fall. Having re read your reply, hoping that letting the fish do it naturally in the wild will not work, its simple to late for that method, we have to meany people on this plant to let that happen. If we sit back hoping will be a big mistake, just take another look at the figures the run is getting weaker. Sorry for the rant I'm just a sad fisherman watching what i love so much died in front of me I feel so helpless. Regards Alan Robinson @@frodinflies

​@alanrobinson3549 the hatchery in Suldal certainly works. Without it, the catches would be about half.

@@Marsbar2024 Hi and thanks for your comment. I just knew hatcheries work. Why is there so much negativity with hatcheries? WE need a plan and help the salmon get back to the numbers so they can do it them selves and that is a well run hatchery but its all to late here in the UK the salmon as gone. numbers are so low the run is getting weaker every year. Regards Alan

I agree, but hatcheries have to be used in the right manner. I think it springs from the use of hatcheries in the US in the 70s and 80s which showed that those fish resulted in weaker trout more susceptible to illness and disease. Hatcheries such as Suldal and Årøy have been successful. I think we also have to look at improving the river conditions, removal of netting - especially in the estuaries, birds and the open pen fish farms.

Tyvärr kan vi inte göra det då 80% av vår publik inte är svenskspråkiga.
