From Undefined Flyfishing Project: “Flyfishing at the Maldives — Emilie Björkman identifies herself as a salmon fly fisher. That’s been her reason for being the last 10 years, while fly fishing the wild rivers of northern Sweden for the big Baltic salmon. In short, the salmon’s life cycle consists of migrations. From the river’s freshwater, for hatching and spawning, to the sea and saltwater where they migrate for growth. In the winter of 2024, Emilie did a similar journey as her beloved salmon.
