Peter Rippin: the pioneering Englishman in Iceland

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.Image: www.EastRanga.com  The Last Salmon Season 2 is supported by The Missing Salmon Alliance.      The Last Salmon, presented by actor and salmon activist, Jim Murray MBE, offers hope and solutions to the tragic story that is unfolding for an iconic species in crisis - the wild salmon.   For regular updates, follow the show at Instagram.com/TheLastSalmon.
