Sadly conditions was bad for the month of August at Repparfjord River (Northern Norway) - As the river was much bigger than usually” “ On Saturday the 31.07.2010 I went of to fish the Repparfjord River in Finnmark. On sunday morning the sun started shining just enough to create dry-fly conditions at the river. First fly I tried was the smaller of the Monster Tube Caddis http://fishmadman.auctivacommerce.com/Monster-Tube-Caddis-Small-P225936.aspx. After just a few casts with this fly a huge fish came for the fly but missed. I did two more casts before it re-appeared - This time it got hooked. Salmon weighed 17.1 kg (37.7 lb.) and is the biggest salmon I have ever caught... I used a Sage Z-Axis 9.6 # 6 with a Danielson Reel. The hook was a size 12 Kamasan triple hook and the fish was hooked well - right in the scissors. I used 0.40 mm leader (20 Lbs.) and fought the fish hard to prevent it from going down rapids. I used 15 minutes or less to subdue the fish and finally my father had to wade into the river to get the fish on land as - I could not apply sufficient pressure on the wide giant fish All in all the Repparfjord river has had a good season - with the month of July being exceptionally good" Kind regards Joakim PS.
