Stephan & Marina Dombaj: Risking it all for the salmon

Midst the doom and gloom about the future of wild salmon, we have to believe - and have faith - that our collective actions – be it through conservation efforts, awareness campaigns, political lobbying – can and will have an effect.

And it is for the long term, for the next generation, that we really have to be thinking about wild salmon and for the sport of fly fishing for salmon itself.

This week on the Last Salmon I’m joined by two fanatical lifelong fly anglers who are not only hugely influential, but they have taken the brave move to run a salmon fishery in the north of England at the famous Bywell.

So why do it? Why risk it all? For the husband and wife team of Stephan Dombaj and Marina Dombaj née Gibson, they care and believe so much in the future of the salmon that this is their way of trying to protect the species they love.

And it’s not just about the fishing, as they explain, it’s about showing the next generation why fighting to save the wild salmon is so important……

The Last Salmon Season 2 is supported by The Missing Salmon Alliance.
