SAVING WILD SALMON WITH
THE BALTIC SALMON FUND

The Wild Salmon Series reels is an initiative to free funds for buy-outs of commercial salmon traps along the Baltic coastline. The wild stocks of Baltic salmon have been declining rapidly. The fastest way to save wild fish and improve stocks on the spawning grounds are to stop killing wild fish in and on their way up the rivers. Frödinflies hope this initiative will spread and that more companies also in the tackle industry will show responsibility and follow our example to make sure there are no wild fish killed in costal traps.

We are a small company, if we can do this several companies can follow. It’s all about being willing to sacrifice for the benefits of our wild salmon and the art of catching wild salmon on the fly. The wild salmon stocks need us to survive. We know the importance of the work done by the Baltic Salmon Fund and decided the organisation be the best to handle the donated funds – we are sure that this is the best way to save most wild fish for the future.

The Baltic Salmon Fund

The purpose of the foundation is to promote a long-term sustainable management of wild salmon and trout stocks in the Baltic Sea and its waters.

The foundations vision is to regain self-reproducing stocks in the original salmon and trout rivers of the Baltic Sea. Strong stocks provide attractive sport fishing and create the conditions for job opportunities through developed fishing tourism.

The Baltic Salmon Fund works with:

1. Primarily, leasing fishing grounds to remove traps and fishing gear, 2011 there were 643 traps and in 2021 there are 281 traps

2. Involved in a number of organisations and associations to promote the vision of a healthy living Baltic Sea

3. Educating and lecturing about wild salmon, wild trout and our sensitive ecosystem

4. Cooperating with Sweden’s administrative organisations

The Swedish King, HM King Carl XVI Gustaf, is the patron of the Baltic Sea Salmon Foundation.

“From the Baltic Salmon Fund, we are extremely grateful for the support we are now receiving for Baltic salmon. The weak return of salmon to our rivers and streams in recent years makes our work more important than ever. These funds enable us to step up our efforts to reduce the number of salmon traps along our coasts, which currently threaten several of our wild salmon stocks. They also allow us, as a significant force backed by all the management organisations of the Baltic rivers, to continue our work influencing decision-makers to stop the unsustainable fishing of herring and sprat, which is devastating the entire Baltic Sea ecosystem.

Frödinflies’ initiative gives us hope. We hope that more companies, dependent on a healthy sea and the presence of salmon and trout in our rivers and streams for future generations, will follow suit and support our ongoing work.”
