I never understood why anyone would take two weeks off from work to fish for salmon, only to return home empty-handed. On the other hand, I can’t deny there is some mystical appeal to it all. The long two-handed rods, the specialized casting techniques and of course the salmon itself.

Personally, I am an absolute novice when it comes to fly fishing for salmon and that actually was the main trigger to try and make a special issue about salmon fishing with a fly.

It hasn’t been an easy delivery though. I screwed up the first lay-out by depicting the wrong salmon species on the front page. Luckily there are some people out there who do know a lot about salmon and the whereabouts of all the different species.

Because this is also a Christmas special, we decided to make a double edition: both a DRAAD and WAFF magazine in one. I hope you will enjoy this magazine. Let us know what you think and how you feel.

All the best and tight lines for 2022 wherever you are,
