Jockfall first salmons

From fishing camp Jockfall and river Kalixälven in Lapland we get the following report:  Now the salmon season 2013 has started in Jockfall. Overall, some twenty salmon has been landed with a top fish of over 14 kilos. The counter in the fishway shows that 8 fish has passed. Unfortunately we have not been able to mount the underwater camera yet due to the high water levels. The water temperature is 11, 8 degrees C. Sixten Larsson, who has been fishing here for over 40 years hooked a huge salmon a few days ago. He had it close to the shore but when he tried to land it the fish so came off it and went away. Sixten estimated that salmon weighed around 25 kilos! At Jockfall we are happy to see those large salmon here again this year, and would like to remind you of largest one from last year that measured  149 cm.
