Yes, a smashing dvd and worth it just for the fantastic scenery.
I met one of the anglers featured in the film on the Upper Tweed last month, and he confirmed it took a few years to shoot.

Am I alone in thinking it is vastly over-rated? Gave my copy away.

Rob, I think I kind of know what you mean. If this film was shown free of charge on terrestrial television, then the forums would be absolutely buzzing with admiration and awe. However if they were then asked to pay for it, it moves it into a different category. It is not a guide to Salmon fishing, but simply a lovely Natural history film which will appeal to many . Robbie

Just watched the DVD and thought it was fine. Seeing Salmon acting completely different in Sea pools was excellent. The Lassies first ever Salmon was a belter. How exciting it must have been for her casting into a shoal then watch them chase, turn away, come back and take her flee, must have been amazing. At that time i was waiting for Franky "bhoy" MacAvennie to walk into the frame and give us some banter. ;D BTW she was a Ginger . Cheers Hornet

Col, The fishings are let with the lodge. I don't think you would get a day ticket in prime time www.sport.ckdfh.co.uk/uiglodge.htmwww.fishbritain.co.uk/Hebrides/Fhorsa/?dom=HebridesThe fish they killed at the end of the season out of the loch were a bit coloured for my liking. I went and had a look at the place couple of years ago in July and never saw a fish. All that said I'd like to give it a go one day, forum outing to Lewis anyone Andy

Pennies or Bobbies? I met someone who fishes from the beach at xxxxx probably about a mile away from the river mouth, and who says he catches salmon. I don't know the legalities or otherwise but he assured me that even although the local constabulary have visited him there is nothing they can do to stop him. Does anyone know? highlandfisher

Super film, handled very well, in a stunning backdrop.
Would be great for a week's fishing - a real getaway with some like minded fly-fishing nuts!

Hi, I realise this is years after the last post but I am looking to buy this DVD Atlantic Salmon - a life on the edge as I lost my own copy. I have been unable to locate a copy on the Internet and wonder if anyone has a copy they would like to seek.
Kind regards
Fishrod
