trout. In the film Henrik deals with subjects like fishing strategy, watercraft
and techniques, all spiced up with breathtaking action packed footage of takes,
fights and successful landing. Although the film is set in exotic surroundings

overcome gusting winds and still manage long and precise casting, and just as
important how to efficiently fish the fly without spooking the fish.

Cracking the Code
Henrik Mortensen concentrates on the art of salmon
fishing - assessing the situation, formulating a strategy and executing the
plan. His instructions run the gamut, from reading a river to effectively
fishing for the elusive salmon. This edition follows him throughout the entire
process of catching salmon under tense and unfamiliar conditions in early
season, using real-life scenarios.
Henrik is back in the land of the Midnight Sun near the Polar Circle - Iceland,
amidst the world's finest salmon rivers. The rivers are quite demanding,
concerning casting techniques and, especially, fishing strategies. Make no
mistake, correctly reading the river and decoding its hidden messages is a
precondition for success. Henrik's method of decoding the hidden messages in
the water enables him to pinpoint the exact spots in a pool where the salmon
stand and what fly and technique to use.
Additionally, he goes in depth with the noble art of hitching. Hitching gives
one the ultimate pleasure of fly fishing because the angler can follow the fly
the entire time to see how and when the salmon strikes.
DVD: 67 minutes + 24 minutes bonus material
