   Hello mxian1.
   How does one respond to a thing like this? Are you mad? Or just joking?

   HI . No we didn´t search with the camera. we just went up and down the river – very carefully – and used our eyes…and polaroid glasses. we thought there might be a couple of fish in the pool! we didn´t see all of them until the camera was in the water.

   Absolutely amazing footage ,just shows how the fish react when one of the group of fish is hooked and the others dont even look as though anything different is happening
   Question though how did you guys know the fish were there ,did you search the water first with the camera??

   thank you for a brilliant peace of work

   we get this close with a 12 feet pole and a small lense on the end but the camera recorder on the other end. everything is on a tripod where the screen and the controls for everything are. you can buy one for 20.000 pounds! The water has to be relatively clear though.

   ok now u made me nosy how did u get so close to them – especially with a moving frame? Cause I go to norway in July and I would love to take at least kind of underwater pictures of a salmon played and landed. Greetz, Jan

   hi oku66. we used a special camera that is not very disturbing to the salmon. It´s called Pole Cam. But it took us a month to learn how to approach the salmon with the camera.

    Great video. Where is it from? Is it part of a nature documentary? I had luck with one of the sisters in Scotland – unfortunately the artificial kind (i don’t mean a blow up doll ) – interested to see that if you get a ‘nibble’ but not a strong take to go for something a different colour. Anyway, they are wonderful creatures. Tight lines.

    great underwater footage, but rubbish beaching technique – if you stay so far up the bank from the fish you will loose many fish – I learnt the hard way.

    Good video. Love the underwater footage.

    Shame about the landing technique, you could have used a landing net!!!!!

    I give you 3 stars

    Thanks. My aim is to go to Mongolia to do similar stuff. Just need some sponsors. Any volunteers?

    Ég ger i ráð fyrir að þú sért Gunnar Helgason ef ekki bendi ég á höfundaréttinn. Efnið er að ég held úr “Svona tekur laxinn.” En alveg frábært efni.
