This summer we were finally able to travel back to Kanektok river in Alaska. This river is about 90 minutes charter flight from Anchorage, and the dirt air strip we land on is part of a first native village called Quinhagak. A very unique place which is only reachable by air or sea.

The Alaska West camp is about 5km up river from the sea, and is frequently visited by bears at night looking for food. The river holds all five species of pacific salmon, and also char and big rainbow trout. We mostly fish for Kings (Chinook), but also caught a few chums and sockeye.

This season we had two trips to Suldal, which has some of the biggest wild salmon in all of Norway, with average weight often exceeding 10kg. In July we fished in Sandsfossen, and in September we fished above the waterfall at Øvre Høse.

This year we had to cancel our Alaska trip due to Covid, but an opportunity to travel to Årøy presented itself. Caught two 10kg salmon and set new personal best for Atlantics 🤟

The yearly fishing trip, this year at the Bulkley river in British Columbia. Shot on the Panasonic GH-5, DJI Mavic 2 Zoom and some GoPro.

For this years fishing trip to Alaska, I opted to upgrade my GoPro to a Panasonic GH-5 with Leica 12-60mm lense package at the local Best Buy. This would then accompany the Mavic drone footage. We had a couple sunny days for flying the drone, but really surprised how good the GH-5 footage turned out in the final edit, even on cloudy days.

Yesterday turned out to be a crisp, sunny, minus 5 degrees day with an awesome swell. I took the Mavic out for a spin before a 2 hour session at Steinen.

Caught my two biggest King salmon ever on the last two days, took a while to reel those tanks in!

Our third time at Alaska West and Kanektok river, and I brought my Phantom drone this time for a new perspective on this amazing fishery full of King Salmon, Sockeye, Chums, Dollies, Rainbow Trout and more.

Great done footage of some peaks and fjords near Stavanger. Come visit!
