Free falling is a fly fishing documentary on Baltic salmon in northern Sweden, shedding light on the drastic decline in salmon migration in the wild rivers up north during recent years. Free falling is a spiritual sequel to Home rivers recycled, a documentary released by Undefined flyfishing project telling the success of the Baltic salmon. (FULL FILM LINK BELOW)

It was a classic comeback story on how the salmon went from being almost extinct to inhabit the northern rivers in such a way that the Torneälven was considered one of the most prolific Atlantic salmon River system in the world.

Home rivers recycled ended with a pledge, to revisit the story in 25 years but solely 2,5 years later it looks like the salmon populations in the Baltic Sea are free falling. This concern pushed the production of making Free falling — a testimony
of what fly fishers along the wild rivers in Sweden are experience in 2024.
The film follows Emilie Björkman and Lars Munk during the season of 2024 in the Swedish salmon rivers up north, as the live life as free, roaming fly fishers; but it also mixes in conservationists and scientists trying to explain what has
happened and why it’s happening.

This is a story about the urgent, biological situation but also give you a glimpse into some of the people whose lives is deeply interconnected with the salmon.
One could argue, when those people glance into the future without the presence of wild salmon, they are also in somewhat of a free fall.

Free falling is produced by Undefined flyfishing project with support from Hooke, Loop, Patagonia, Vision flyfishing, Costa del mar, Ahrex hooks, Nám products, Sportfiskarna, Baltic salmon fund, Stiftelsen Vindelälvsfisket.
