A fisherman has made the catch of a lifetime by reeling in the first wild salmon sighted in Switzerland in fifty years. Judging from the size of the salmon, which was pulled out of a tributary of the Rhine near Basel, it travelled all the way down the river into the Atlantic before returning upstream to spawn. Experts are amazed the fish made its way past the barriers that still impede salmon migrating to the upper Rhine despite a salmon reintroduction project.
