The salmon catch of River Teno was smaller than ever before in 2019, only about 40 tons total. The number of grilse, which is normally the most common catch, was very low. However, many anglers managed to catch a two-sea-year salmon. The proportion of important big salmon, that spend three of four years in the Northern Atlantic before they will return to River Teno, has decreased in past decades. Gratifyingly the number of repeat-spawner salmon has increased. River fishing is regulated by a bilateral agreement between Finland and Norway. Permit quotas and other new regulation were first introduced in 2017, and some new adjustments have been made also for this season. The purpose of regulations is to strengthen the salmon stocks of River Teno. In addition to salmon, grayling, whitefish, pink salmon and even sea trout may take the fly in River Teno. Pink salmon is an alien species in Atlantic rivers. It is originally a species of the Pacific Ocean and was introduced to Kola Peninsula area during past decades by the Sovjet Union.

The vision came true for Janne Rautanen last summer in Alaköngäs Rapids (Storfossen) of River Teno. After over an one hour fight, he managed to land a giant salmon of 23,14 kg. Jannes favourite fly was almost ripped of, but luckily it didn`t! (Photo: Eemeli Rautanen) (19.05.2020) |
