The River Stinchar
Words: Daibhidh Rothach
Anglers’ hopes perhaps run most intensely in the smallest of rivers. Or, more accurately, they run twofold: firstly, the hope that rain enough will fall to enliven the the pockets and seams of their little rivers, which seem to fade like a snowflake in the palm of a hand. Then, only should rain come, is permitted the luxury to hope for an Atlantic salmon. In Scotland’s south west, it is of rain that seasons are made, and the window of opportunity between a torrent laden with the sediment of intensive agriculture and a water low, languishing as the disheartened angler’s spirit, is narrow.
The Magic Pulse
Words: Nico de Boer
Nico de Boer fished the Icelandic East Rangá earlier in prime time for fresh sea lice silvers. Now late in the season he is there again. For more colored salmon that are longer in the river. The looks of the fishes are different and the aggressive attacks changed into the magic pulse.

Words: Mikko Virranniemi

It is a river with its fish population under a great threat. The threat is greed, mixed with stupidity and shortsightedness. But more of that later. Let me tell you the basics first.

Mastering The Moments That Matter – Advice from the world’s top anglers (Part 1: Hooking, fighting, and landing Atlantic salmon)
Words: Antti Matilainen
“When a fisherman has caught some 500 salmon, he thinks he knows the long and the short of the whole business. With 1,500 fish to his rod, he begins to be less certain, and by the time he has landed several thousand he has realized he will never get to the bottom of the matter.”
