Salmon in Laxá

A promotional documentary made for ABU fishing gear manufacturers from Svängsta, Sweden. Every year, ABU awards a number of prizes for the largest fish caught with ABU equipment. This prize consists of a trip to a famous fishing area. This year, it was a seven-day trip to Iceland, including three days' fishing at Laxá, and a visit to both the north and south of the country. The film follows the prize winners from the time they board the airplane at Kastrup airport until they leave Iceland, after a short but memorable visit.
