Salmon Fishing with Two-Handed Rods

3 comments

In this episode of FLY TV, we get to follow Antti Guttorm in Northern Norway when he fish for big salmon with two-handed rods. He will fish for fresh fish when the water level is high and during the episode, he will show you his approach with these circumstances.

I have enjoyed watching Antti Guttorm Salmon fishing in several Fly TV videos. I wanted to know what fly reel on the two-handed rod he was using in one of Norway videos. It was an enclosed sided with round center drag wheel and pewter in color. From watching him land some salmon I noticed the reel seemed to be an ant-reverse drag system. I could not make out any the markings on the video. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and happy holidays.

Hi Martin,
FYI, I found out the reel I was asking about is a Vision Tank Salmon Reel. I found it in an old Vision Catalog. It came in 3 sizes, but has since been discontinued. I really like the look of that reel and have been scouring the internet to find one. I would like the #3 for 7-9 wt lines.

Regards,
Hector

Long story short

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
