"Following the salmon’s mighty journey as it battles for the chance to produce the next generation, To The Journey’s End clearly demonstrates why this is such an iconic species. The film footage captures the hidden behaviors that are key to their success, and the dramatic shots also invokes a passion for Scotland’s rivers and environment and reminds us why we are so lucky to be part of this natural environment."

“This is an inspirational film about the life of the Atlantic salmon; beautifully filmed in the north east of Scotland, it highlights many of the threats this iconic species faces in our rivers. Above all it is educational and a great resource that practitioners such as myself can use to inform future generations. The Spey Fishery Board were honoured to be able to help during the filming.”

“OHFT are very grateful to have such a significant teaching resource in the form of To the journey’s end. The film has already been shared with local schools in Stornoway to help improve the students understanding of the salmons life cycle. The film does an excellent job of promoting interest in wild fisheries but also in highlighting some of the issues our wild Atlantic Salmon face”.
