Breiddalsa: The queen now graces the walls
Throstur happy again....photo by Jón Skelfir...
We told you the tragic story of the death of the huge salmon on Breiddalsa earlier this season, the outfitter Thorstur Ellidason having tried to get a 100 cm hen salmon to the hatchery, only for her to die in his hands. Life goes on, Throstur eventually turned happy again and now the 24 pound salmon graces the walls of the beautiful lodge at Eyjar in Breiddalur.
Throstur is a pioneer in the rearing of mws‘s and when he hooked up with this huge salmon in Gljúfrahyluur early July he wanted desperately to enter the fish to the hattchery. However it was not meant to be and following great lengths to keeping the fish alive, it eventually died.
Throstur trying to save the day but to no avail.
As we reprorted earlier, this was Throsturs biggest ever fish and he went to great lenghts to keep it alive. For more than a week he would not even take his calls....but what he did say on the day was, that he would have the fish mounted , taxedermized that is. And now he has concluded it, and the huge fish now graces the walls of the Breiddalsa lodge at Eyjar.
