Local angler Kristoffersen, who has been fishing for wild salmon for years, has not been catching much lately.
Waist-deep in a rain-swollen river, Christer Kristoffersen casts his line, landed it gently on the water, and caught... nothing. Norway's iconic wild salmon is in dramatic decline, a victim of fish farming and climate change.
"As a kid, in the early 1980s, there was so much fish in the river, you have no idea. It was packed with sea trout and salmon. We could catch 10-15 fish in one evening," said the fly fishing enthusiast as he stood in the Stjordal river.
