The Last Salmon

Why This CEO Is Investing in Nature

LastCast Media — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 15:27:52 +0000

Alex Taylor is an avid outdoorsman, conservationist, and author of ‘The Longest Cast: The Fly-Fishing Journey of a Lifetime.’

But he is also CEO of Cox Enterprises, one of the largest private companies in America that generates $22 billion in annual revenue.

With such power comes a lot of responsibility and influence and he has directed investments toward sustainability-focused businesses, committing more than US$2 billion to sustainable businesses focused on clean technology.

So, how can he help save the wild Atlantic salmon?

Cox acquired Loop Tackle in 2024 to ‘lead the market in innovation and in connecting customers with more experiences deeper into nature’ and he joins me on the final episode of Season 2 of The Last Salmon to tell me how he – and his companies – can make real and lasting changes to help save the salmon.

Repost: No farmed salmon at Christmas - or any other time - with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

LastCast Media — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +0000

As it’s that time of year again, we’re reposting our episode from December 2024 with chef and sustainable food activist, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, for a special Christmas episode of The Last Salmon podcast explaining why farmed salmon should not be on your Christmas dinner table this or any year.

‘We need to hold the industry to account and provide people with alternatives,’ says Hugh. ‘The way you spend your money is a vote. Consumers have the power to affect change.’

Hugh is also critical of celebrity chefs and the media who promote and use farmed salmon.

‘Once chefs have the opportunity,’ he tells Jim. ‘And it’s often a very well-paid opportunity, to appear on television and talk about food, sell their books and promote their various businesses, that increases their responsibility to think about the quality and sustainability of the produce that they’re using and that they’re communicating to the public about.’

Hugh has a long record of opposition to farmed salmon that is unsustainably produced and he tells Jim why a bass will be coming out of his freezer for Christmas instead. Plus he has some great tips and recipe ideas for alternatives for the dinner table this Christmas.

One Minute to Midnight: Saving England’s Chalk Stream Salmon

LastCast Media — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Once abundant in England’s crystal-clear chalk rivers, our chalk stream salmon now teeter on the edge of extinction.

The chalk stream salmon is one of the rarest fish on earth and yet, after 2 million years they are at one minute to midnight.

There are a myriad of pressures and problems pushing them to the brink but there is urgent work underway to help bring them back and Charles Rangeley-Wilson, the acclaimed angling writer and river conservationist joins me on the latest episode of The Last Salmon to tell me about his love of the chalk stream salmon and why Project White Hart could be our last great hope to rekindle a salmon run that has shaped our culture, landscape, and imagination for centuries.

Breaking with the industry: the Mowinckel stand against salmon farming

LastCast Media — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Frederik W. Mowinckel is unique amongst those who oppose salmon farms. It was his family who were some of the original salmon farmers in Norway that gave rise to the global, toxic industry, but the Mowinckels are now some of the most outspoken critics of its practices, especially that of Mowi who used the Mowinckel surname for their company name.

Frederik speaks to Jim on the latest episode of The Last Salmon to talk about his activism, the damage being done by salmon farming companies and why it doesn't have to be this way.

Peter Rippin: the pioneering Englishman in Iceland

LastCast Media — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 10:11:52 +0000

Continuing our journey across the Atlantic, this week we’re in Iceland, a land synonymous with countless stunning salmon rivers.

Peter Rippin, is a pioneering Englishman who throughout his career, has been setting up and running fishery operations throughout the world.

Peter currently runs the East Ranga in Iceland, a very productive salmon river and unique in that it is solely a hatchery river run for angling.

Based in Iceland for the past twenty years, Pete is perfectly placed to give his insights into the successes and failures of Iceland’s salmon angling industry, and where it might be heading in the context of declining salmon numbers.

Scale of Change & the Battle to Save Canada's Atlantic Salmon

LastCast Media — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Over this side of the Atlantic you probably haven’t heard of Hooké or its founder, Fred Campbell, but I liken him to a Canadian Yvon Chouinard, someone who has committed their life to the outdoors whilst also running a successful business.

And like Patagonia’s founder, Fred Campbell, is someone truly obsessed with protecting nature and the wild salmon.

To highlight the salmon’s precarious state, Fred has helped produce, Scale of Change, a new documentary to try and instil a sense of urgency and action to anyone that cares about the wild salmon.

He tells me about the impetus behind the documentary, why Atlantic salmon on the eastern seaboard of North America are under threat and how Northern Canada is one of the last bastions of truly great salmon runs that must be protected.

Guido Rahr & the Stronghold Strategy

LastCast Media — Sat, 18 Oct 2025 16:45:17 +0100

Every so often you meet someone whose life is so remarkable and whose love of and determination in saving nature leaves you in awe.

I think of the campaigner, Alex Morton, from Season 1 on the Last Salmon, who has been responsible for getting the open pen salmon farms shut down in British Columbia, or the late Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist and conservationist.

This week’s guest on The Last Salmon, is someone who has spent his life in the cause of salmon conservation and who has been at the forefront of creating salmon strongholds across the Russian Far East, and in the Pacific North West.

Guido Rahr is President and CEO of the Wild Salmon Centre in Portland, Oregon, and I speak to Guido about the concept and strategy to creating salmon strongholds, finding out what lessons we can learn for the Atlantic salmon in the process.

The Decline of the Baltic salmon

LastCast Media — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 12:59:38 +0100

Just a few years ago the Baltic salmon were thriving, with huge numbers of fish running the pristine waters of Sweden.

Once thought to be on the brink, the salmon bounced back and were being celebrated as a success story.

However, something drastic has changed and the Baltic salmon are once again in decline.

Emilie Bjorkman and Lars Munk are fanatical salmon anglers who’ve committed their lives to the cause. They needed to find out what was causing its demise, documenting it in a film this year called, Free Falling.

Emilie and Lars join me on this episode of The Last Salmon to talk about the significance of the Baltic salmon, how their hopes for the fish have been badly hit, and what they intend to do about it.

Matt Hayes, Ann-Britt Bogen & the Gaula's future

LastCast Media — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +0100

Norway. The legendary land of the giant salmon has been struggling of late, not least in the face of so many salmon farms throttling its beautiful coastline, but fishery and lodge owners are fighting back, trying to do what they can to preserve the wild salmon in Norway.

Ann-Britt Bogen from Gaula Fly Fishing Friends, and Matt Hayes, one of the UK’s most famous anglers who now lives full time with his wife and family running a salmon lodge in Norway, join Jim to tell him how the 2025 salmon season played out on their beloved and prestigious Gaula river, their efforts at introducing new regulations and a new mindset towards catch and release and why, despite it all, if you want to catch a big salmon, there is still nowhere else quite like Norway.

Ben Goldsmith & How Rewilding Can Help Restore Nature

LastCast Media — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 10:33:33 +0100

Rewilding. It’s about taking a step back and leaving nature alone.

But, in the 21st century how can it be achieved?

Ben Goldsmith certainly believes it can – and must be done - and he is one of its foremost champions.

It was through tragedy however, after the death of his teenage daughter, Iris, when she was just 15, that, in grieving, Ben found solace and hope through the embrace of nature.

And ever since, he has been on a mission to increase rewilding initiatives throughout the UK and. abroad, and he has his own podcast, Rewilding the World, highlighting the success stories on these shores and around the world.

Ben joins Jim on the latest episode of The Last Salmon to explain how rewilding can help save the wild salmon and some of the practises that need to be put in place for it to happen.

Stephan & Marina Dombaj: Risking it all for the salmon

LastCast Media — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 12:41:26 +0100

Midst the doom and gloom about the future of wild salmon, we have to believe - and have faith - that our collective actions – be it through conservation efforts, awareness campaigns, political lobbying – can and will have an effect.

And it is for the long term, for the next generation, that we really have to be thinking about wild salmon and for the sport of fly fishing for salmon itself.

This week on the Last Salmon I’m joined by two fanatical lifelong fly anglers who are not only hugely influential, but they have taken the brave move to run a salmon fishery in the north of England at the famous Bywell.

So why do it? Why risk it all? For the husband and wife team of Stephan Dombaj and Marina Dombaj née Gibson, they care and believe so much in the future of the salmon that this is their way of trying to protect the species they love.

And it’s not just about the fishing, as they explain, it’s about showing the next generation why fighting to save the wild salmon is so important……

Will the Outer Hebrides be the UK's Salmon Stronghold?

LastCast Media — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 12:46:23 +0100

We know salmon numbers are down and we know there’s an existential threat endangering their very future, but this week on the Last Salmon, Jim Murray finds out why the Outer Hebrides could be the UK’s salmon stronghold.

Jim speaks to the chair of the Outer Hebrides Fisheries Trust, Richard Davies, who believes that their engagement with fish farms on the Isle of Lewis has resulted in helping the survival of wild salmon there.

As listeners to The Last Salmon podcast know, salmon farms are polluting the environment and causing irreparable damage to wild salmon stocks and that currently they have very little interest in doing anything to help.

However, Richard is one of the most passionate salmon conservationists we know and he will do anything to help save the wild salmon in the Outer Hebrides and beyond, so we had to speak to him and to hear his side of the argument - and of course hear more about the incredible fly fishing place that is the Outer Hebrides.

Richard also pays tribute to two old fishing friends, Kenny and Arthur, who are no longer with us, and who epitomised the kindness and determination of good fly anglers and good people.

Rob Macfarlane: Rivers are alive and should have rights

LastCast Media — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 12:38:17 +0100

Is a river alive? What a question….it throws up so many if, buts, maybes, but most importantly, why not?

Rivers helped save me, and I truly believe they are our lifeblood, our circulation, our healing waters.

But they also need saving now in these troubled times of extraction, industrialisation and pollution.

To kick off Season 2, we’re taking the big picture view when it comes to rivers, and we’re asking shouldn’t the rights of nature be respected in our laws and constitutions? If a limited company can have legal rights why then can’t our rivers?

Without our rivers, without due care, without oversight…..well, we all know what can and is happening in terms of water quality and how that is affecting us all, not least of all the wild salmon.

So to help with some of these existential questions, celebrated nature writer, Rob Macfarlane joins me to discuss how he set out on journeys around the globe, from Ecuador to India and Canada, and finally to his own home waters in Cambridge, to ask is a river alive?

‘We don’t have time, we need to intervene now.’ Ken Whelan addresses ranching as a possible angler solution

LastCast Media — Fri, 17 May 2024 06:03:00 +0100

Internationally renowned fishery scientist, Ken Whelan, issues a call to action on the latest episode of The Last Salmon.

He says that ranching can and will work to help improve salmon numbers in relation to supporting a rod fishery for anglers and he explains to us the background to its successful development and implementation – albeit with caveats and cautions.

Likening it to racehorse breeding, he points to the Burrishoole ranching programme and the work of Dr. David Piggins and says this is the model that can be followed for supporting a rod fishery in lieu of wild stock.

Whilst wild fish conservation measures must continue to be carried out, drastic and innovative action is needed, says Ken, if we are not to see entire salmon stocks disappear.

'When you catch your first fish, the fish catches you' Patagonia's Yvon Chouinard on fly fishing, salmon & saving the planet

LastCast Media — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 07:44:40 +0100

Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, wanted to live life and do things his own way. In his 80s now and having given Patagonia away to help save the planet, Yvon is more likely to be found near a river bank fly fishing and he joins us to talk about his love of the sport and what anglers need to do help the plight of the salmon and of the planet.

But he's also critical of anglers and their lack of action in helping to save the fish. 'Fishermen are not true advocates of fish,' he says. 'Surfers and kayakers are much more environmental.' Plus he saves his most stinging words for the fish farming industry describing them as 'evil', saying 'we're destroying the planet with industrial agriculture and now we're doing the same thing with aquaculture.'

And as for the three laws he would pass if he were President of the United States? Tune in to find out.

Yvon Chouinard is one of the greatest advocates and activists for environmental change, someone to help inspire fly anglers to act now before it's too late.

The hopes and fears for salmon fishing in Scotland

LastCast Media — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Scotland. It’s the traditional heart and home of fly fishing for salmon. The Spey, Dee, Tay and Tweed are rivers synonymous the world over when it comes to salmon fishing.

But, long gone are the days when salmon catches were guaranteed and getting onto certain beats were next to impossible.

In the midst of the Atlantic salmon crisis, Daire and Jim speak to Robert Mitchell and Colin Bull, two Scotsmen immersed in salmon throughout their lives.

Robert Mitchell, has been a salmon fishing ghillie on the River Spey for over thirty years. He remembers the heyday and he also talks in stark terms about the fear that every ghillie has of there being no salmon left.

Colin Bull is Principal Investigator with the Missing Salmon Alliance and a specialist in salmon ecology at Stirling University and he says that with targeted conservation measures the salmon can be saved and we can and should be hopeful.
