What is a Salmon Junky?
”You must have hooked many salmon, lost some and landed far more, before you can call yourself a “salmon angler – BUT the take from just one Salmon – has the power to hook you for life” !
That is what the famous Danish painter, writer and fly fisherman, Svend Saabye wrote in his masterpiece of a book “angler’s life” and Svend really mastered to grab the essentials in salmon angling in this few words.
To catch a big fresh salmon – Preferably on a self-made fly – must be considered among the most rewarding achievements in the angling world.
Moments like these are precious and unforgettable.
And if you do it in unspoilt wilderness, along a world-class Russian salmon river – Lets just say “you’ll be more hooked than the fish”
Many of nowadays anglers have very understandable lost their heart and soul to the Russian Salmon fishing on the Kola Peninsula. Once fished one of these magnificent rivers, you get deeply hooked. Its like to turn back the clock hundred years. Back to the time where our grandfathers was swinging a big wooden rod, over thousands of Salmon.
Good Salmon fishing has always been a expensive game, but we at Salmon Junkies have tried hard to redefine the concept and profile in the game. We hope that you will browse through our web pages, in order to feed you dreams and fantasy – With Salmon Junkies you are just a short Spey cast away from the “Golden pool”, where the mighty Atlantic salmon can grab your little fly at any of its swimming seconds.
Fly-fishing for salmon may seem like hard work at times – But even in the toughest conditions, it never really feels like work. It is more like a kind of meditation or music – playing your instrument drawing notes with the line. The feeling of a loaded fly line going where it’s supposed to- is a blast itself. Cast after cast “Looping” over a classic salmon water – peace of mind and very addictive! – That is why a true Salmon Junky are more “hooked” than the fish.
