Home rivers recycled – a salmon fishing documentary from the Swedish rivers up north

Growing up, fishing was second nature to Emilie Björkman, being raised in a family where both her mom and dad cherished the outdoors. At the age of 15, Emilie fell in love with fly fishing and almost a decade later she caught the first wild Baltic salmon (salmo salar).

She remembers that as a life changing event and when becoming a mum of her own, she reflect on her own childhood and her role as a mum — while pursuing her lifelong passion: fly fishing for salmon un the unspoiled rivers in northern Sweden.

Home rivers recycled is a fly fishing documentary is shoot by the wild rivers in northern Sweden during the summer of 2022, above the Arctic circle and below the midnight sun.

The story revolves around the love for the outdoors and act of passing on a passion through generations. But also, it’s a portrait of the incomparable lifestyle that comes with salmon fly fishing and the people devoting their lives to understand and support this spectacular species. The Baltic salmon is a true survivor who went from the verge of extinction in the early 1990 to living a prosperous life in many rivers of northern Sweden.
