Southern Chile - More than just a fishing trip

publication date: July 04 2007 by WhereWiseMenFish.com

A fishing trip to Southern Chile is much more than just another bit of piscatorial madness that will see you pack your bags and travel half the way around the world just to feel the convulsive shake of a trout’s head and feel the bend in your rod. Of that you will have plenty and rightly said there are many places closer to home where you can experience that. What makes Chile a quite extraordinary destination to visit is the unbelievable scale of the wilderness surrounding you and the emerald clear waters that trace there course from the Andes to the ocean.

publication date: Apr 23, 2007 by WhereWiseMenFish.com

An Icelandic businessman, fighting to save the Atlantic salmon from extinction, has been awarded the world’s largest environmental prize for grassroots activists.

Since Vigfússon founded the North Atlantic Salmon Fund1, commercial open-sea fishing in the Atlantic has fallen by over 75 per cent, and more than five million North Atlantic salmon have been saved.
