The days are getting slowly longer and the light is returning into the Gaula valley, a clear sign that the 2012 season is coming closer: There are only 99 days left, as you can see on our countdown on the right sidebar.
The development of the weather is pointing towards good conditions right from the first of June. Of course, this is a somewhat risky statement to make in late February, but due to longer mild periods during this winter so far, unlike in more usual years, there is very little ground frost about in the Gaula valley. Even if a lot of snow falls during the next weeks and with temperatures dropping again, we do not believe that it will last very long withou... read more...

As usual it took a while until all catches from the Gaula were reported in and the total figures were published. The official statistic is finalized and we are proud to say that the Gaula had another great season with a total catch in 2011 of 36 ½ tons / 36.481 kilo/ 80,441 lb.
Considering that our season is only 3 months “short” and taking into account the tough start of the season it is an excellent result for the entire river. So while fly fishing conditions were difficult due to yo-yo like water levels most of the season, the 2 tons of fly caught salmon on the NFC beats were impressive. Our beats in the middle and lower reaches have been producing even more fish than i... read more...

A few salmon in full spawning colour, photographed during the last two weeks by our film team, which just finished their last shots for our new Gaula movie coming up next spring.
After our season finished on the 31st of August, the Gaula rested in peace and the salmon are changing their outfit and starting to prepare for spawning. Some late runs usually fill up the system and once the temperatures drop around mid October and the first snow falls on the mountain tops, the salmon get into the spawning mood.
It´s a great time on the Gaula – the leaves on the trees are turning into a typical Indian summer colour and the autumn light spreads its mystic atmosphere over... read more...

Slow backend following the 100-years-flood

During the last week the fishing was by no means easy. Whilst in most years the backend often brings rain after a low water period causing fish to start to move and respond well to our flies – this year was different. After longer periods with too high water – not least the 100-year-flood reported previously here – we had to admit that despite a good water level the fish were rather reluctant in the face of our fishing efforts. But some of our guests were successful. Henry Giles was able to catch the first fish of the week in one of our “free for all” beats. He saw some fish in the pool and he got a nice take on his Dark Horse Fly. After an exciting fight he was able to land a nice grilse o... read more...
