The Last Salmon is a new podcast series hosted by Ireland on the Fly's, Daire Whelan, and actor and activist angler, Jim Murray offering hope and solutions to the tragic story that is unfolding for an iconic species in crisis - the wild Atlantic salmon.

On this, the first episode of Season 1, Daire and Jim find out how the massive escape of farmed salmon in Iceland’s waters in the autumn of 2023, led to huge public protests at the damage being done to the wild salmon and their country’s pristine, natural waters.

Actor, angler and passionate conservationist, Jasper Pääkkönen, and Iceland’s Programme Director of The North Atlantic Salmon Fund, Elvar Fridriksson, explain what happened, why and how it spurred a country into activism and action.

The tipping point for Iceland in their fight to save the wild salmon is hanging in the balance and the world is watching.
