The salmon fishing premiere in Mörrum took place on Saturday, marked by a traditional cannon salute. Record low water levels in Mörrumsån, resulting from a very dry 2025, affected the fish in the river in terms of oxygen levels and water temperature. For fly fishermen, the low water levels can make it easier to get bites, but some younger participants, like eight-year-old Mattis Nilsson, found it difficult to catch fish and grew impatient.
The premiere is an over 80-year-old tradition that attracts many visitors, both adults and children. Mattis Nilsson had previously caught a sea trout at the premiere two years ago and was seeking revenge this year.
