FLY REEL SALAR THE WILD SALMON SERIES ONE #6/8

Our smallest SALAR WSS reel is designed for delicate conditions, fishing a light line on a single-handed rod. Size One is just as effective for larger trout and rainbows as it is for salmon, sea trout, and steelhead. Despite its compact size, this robust reel features the same advanced braking system as the larger models in the WSS family. We love this little reel and prefer it on our single-handed rods. Whether you’re skating, hitching, or dry fly fishing for Atlantics, sneaking through creeks for larger browns, or casting in windy conditions for sea-run browns, this reel is incredibly reliable. It holds 100 m of our 30 lbs SALAR backing, a shooting line and head, or a WF line up to a seven weight.

THE DONATION:

Every reel contributes to a total donation of 500.000 SEK (€45.000) to The Baltic Salmon Fund. The Wild Salmon Series of reels is a very special project to us – created to be a trademark of wild fish conservation and sustainability. Every reel contributes to preserving wild salmon for future generations, allowing thousands of wild salmon to reach the rivers to spawn. These reels are crafted to stand out, featuring the iconic jumping salmon on the sleek black side plates and cut-out salmon shapes in the reel foot. The addition of genuine copper details, which will develop a rich patina over time, gives each reel a rugged, classic style. The reels are equipped with an improved disc drag system and a versatile clicker, letting you fish in stealth mode and still enjoy the exhilarating sound of a great salmon making a run downstream. We believe this series will become one of the most collectable modern salmon reels ever made. Fish them with pride and help save thousands of wild salmon!

WHAT THE BALTIC SALMON FUND DOES:

Primarily, leasing fishing grounds to remove traps and fishing gear, 2011 there were 643 traps and in 2021 there are 281 traps. Involved in a number of organisations and associations to promote the vision of a healthy living Baltic Sea. Educating and lecturing about wild salmon, wild trout and our sensitive ecosystem. Cooperating with Sweden’s administrative organisations.The Swedish King, HM King Carl XVI Gustaf, is the patron of The Baltic Sea Salmon Foundation.

“From The Baltic Salmon Fund, we are extremely grateful for the support we are now receiving for Baltic salmon. The weak return of salmon to our rivers and streams in recent years makes our work more important than ever. These funds enable us to step up our efforts to reduce the number of salmon traps along our coasts, which currently threaten several of our wild salmon stocks. They also allow us, as a significant force backed by all the management organisations of the Baltic rivers, to continue our work influencing decision-makers to stop the unsustainable fishing of herring and sprat, which is devastating the entire Baltic Sea ecosystem. Frödinflies’ initiative gives us hope. We hope that more companies, dependent on a healthy sea and the presence of salmon and trout in our rivers and streams for future generations, will follow suit and support our ongoing work.”

Thomas Johansson General Secretary The Baltic Salmon Fund
