The film is set in Iceland, home to some of the world's best salmon rivers. The rivers are very varied – ranging from small, fast-flowing canyon rivers to large, wide, slow-flowing streams. Nils Jørgensen fishes here every summer from the start of the season to the end. He is a true "salmon bum." The camera has followed him on a number of these trips, where he talks about his fishing, and we see him catching lots of salmon. It is an instructive film about strategy, fishing techniques, flies, and what gear to use when fishing in such varied conditions. All of this experience and knowledge can be used no matter where in the world you fish for Atlantic salmon.
