This week had a good start, and our guests continue to catch nice fish. The weather has turned and it is really hot and the darker hours of the day are the more convenient fishing hours although quite a few fish are caught during the day. Right now there is a lack of pictures, as cameras are “forgotten” and our guests enjoy the nice weather during the daytime and the wonderful evenings and peaceful nights on the river. Peaceful- of course only until the next fish is hooked and the battle begins. We hear it again and again that this year the fish are exceptional strong fighters and we see that they are all in great condition.
Anyway, we would like to give you a short report...

Our newly arrived fishermen have been lucky, the water dropped during Sunday for the first time this season to a nice level of 55 cm at the Frøseth Gauge, which means, the salmon stop to run as fast as the week before. And immediately quite a few fish were caught.

Marcus with his fish from the Upper Gaula Beat | |
|
During the Sunday afternoon Marcus Thomasson has been fishing our Upper Gaula Beat for some casts and caught and released a medium salmon of approx. 4,5kg (10lb).
Right after our start meeting Hans E. Wolff caught a grilse on our Lower Gaula Beat E1. Per Nyqvist just wanted to try out a new line and hooked a salmon on Beat D1 – his salmon weighed in with 5,5kg (12 lb).

The last fishing week has been not good on the Gaula and on the neighbouring rivers. We had been hoping for days now that the water drops to a level where salmon would stop in the pools and become better takers. In the past week they have been just running very fast and the river remained mostly around the 75 cm mark. On Saturday the water level reached the first time the 60cm mark on the Frøseth Gauge and as anticipated, the fishing started to improve.

Since the start of the week the weather got better and better and the water has been dropping after the big flood, but remained for several days on a level between 110m³/sec. – 140m³/ sec. and never came lower than 75cm at the Fröseth Gauge which is for us not a good level and means most of the fish are running very fast. Our fishermen see now a lot of fish running through the pools but they don’t stop and don’t take the flies very well at the moment.

Of course some of our fishers are lucky, for example Ottar Bang who just arrived on Wednesday morning and 3 hours later he caught his first fish - other fishermen have been fishing hard and did not have ...
