A fly fisher’s best friend — salmon fishing up north

When Lars Munk, aka Munken, decided to go all-in at salmon fishing, he settled down along Torneälven in Pajala, Swedish Lapland. Back then, in early 2010, very few salmon migrated the rivers in northern Sweden, still, Munken fell head over heels in love with the sport.

The number of salmon running the rivers increased over the years, and now the river system of Torneälven is considered to be one of the most productive Atlantic salmon systems in the world.
