Alta, Raipas – Memories of Big Salmon
Join Håkan and Mikael as they take you back in time to a memorable trip on the lower Alta River. This footage, filmed several years ago, captures their journey through the often-overlooked Raipas section. It was here, over 30 years ago, that Mikael first cast his line in this iconic big fish river. While the lower beat has changed over the years and the salmon are fewer and more threatened than ever, they remain big, broad, and hard-fighting. Despite low water and challenging August conditions, the “old dogs” demonstrated that persistence and experience still pay off.
