News from Gjerfloen Flyfishing 2002

Back

Report 3rd of November. 168 fishing licences are sold and approximately 1250 fishes are landed this summer. The season started much earlier than normal and we had good fishing till July 11th. Then the rain started and we did not get normal waterlevel again before the 10th of August. The last part of August, September and first part of October we had very good fishing conditions, but by some reason or other, not so many fly fishers took advantage of this.

Fishing licences 2002

Catchreports from 90 fishermen on Gjerfloen Flyfishing 2002 show that 962 fishes more than 20 cm are landed, - 954 graylings and 8 brown trouts. Only 4 fishes are reported killed.

Report 27th of October. Flyfishing is still possible on Gjerfloen. Not even drifting icepieces on the water, prevented fishing journalist Erland Fjell from getting the fish-pictures he needed for a comming article in the Norwegian fishing magazine "Alt om Fiske". (See photogallery)

Report 18th of October. We have now got some snow on the ground, but there are still open water. We have still low water and perfect conditions for fishing. (See photogallery)

Report 13th of October. In spite of low temperature and snowflakes in the air, two Swedes successfully landed a few graylings on the fly zone today. See photogallery.

Report 10th of October. Freshwaterecologist Atle Rustadbakken diving on Gjerfloen 27th of September. See videotape www.naturkompetanse.no Fishing conditions superb.

Report 3rd of October. Fishing conditions superb. At the moment we have the lowest waterlevel for many years, less than 35m3/s. In this part of the river we have this experience: The lower waterlevel, the better fishing conditions. No fishermen on the flyzone since Sunday.

Report 30th of September. Fishing conditions superb. Waterflow about 35m3/s. Three Swedes from Älvdalen, Sweden, visited Gjerfloen on Sunday (29th). Here is the catchreport from Leif Sörensen: Less than 20 cm: 1, 20 - 24 cm: 0, 25 - 29 cm: 7, 30 - 34 cm: 6, 35 - 39 cm: 5, 40 - 44 cm: 1.

Report 28th of September. Fishing conditions superb. Waterflow about 35m3/s. Colder weather yesterday influenced negatively on the fishing. 6 Swedes from Gothenberg fishing on Gjerfloen Flyfishing the 27th caught together 39 fishes. Here are there catchreport: Less than 20 cm: 2, 20 - 24 cm: 6, 25 - 29 cm: 9, 30 - 34 cm: 18, 35 - 39 cm: 3, 40 - 44 cm: 1.

Report 27th of September. Fishing conditions superb. Waterflow less than 40 m3/s. 6 Danes fishing on Gjerfloen Flyfishing the 26th and caught together 50 fishes. Here are there catchreport: Less than 20 cm: 3, 20 - 24 cm: 3, 25 - 29 cm: 12, 30 - 34 cm: 15, 35 - 39 cm: 15, 40 - 44 cm: 2. See photogallery.

Report 25th of September. No locals are fishing today. Why? It's D-day! Or in other words, moosehunting starts today.

Report 24th of September. No fishermen on the flyzone since Saturday. On Thursday, a group of 6 Danish fishermen will visit Gjerfloen. Fishing conditions are superb and if we get nice and for the time being warm weather, I expect good catches.

Report 22nd of September. Friday (20th) the fishing was not too bad. Per Svensson, Andreas Ljusterdal and Lars Brändström from Västerås, Sweden, caught 14 graylings. 20 - 24 cm: 4, 25 - 29 cm: 2, 30 - 34 cm: 4, 35 - 39 cm: 3, 40 - 44 cm: 1. Saturday (21st) we had some rain and low temperature. Even if the weatherconditions for flyfishing could have been better, the three + Max Jarno and Roger Englöf, also Västerås, caught 33 graylings: Less than 20 cm: 2, 20 - 24 cm: 7, 25 - 29 cm: 10, 30 - 34 cm: 5, 35 - 39 cm: 8, 40 - 44 cm: 1.

Report 21st of September. A team from Västerås, Sweden, have had nice nymph-fishing on the fly-zone yesterday and today. See photogallery.

Report 19th of September. Nice weather this morning (06.00, - minus 2C degrees). This week-end there will be flyfishermen from Sweden on the flyzone. If this weather continous, fishing conditions will be superb, - so if they don't succeed, they shall have to make up other excuses!

Report 18th of September. Yesterday we also had some minor rainshowers to fresh up the water. In spite of the superb fishing conditions nobody has been fishing on the fly-zone since Sunday.

Report 17th of September. Yesterday we had some rainshowers and as it was not too much water in them it was a good refreshment to the river and for the fish. Fishing conditions are superb and have not been better since August 1999!

Report 16th of September. Fishing conditions still superb. Fishermen from Oslo caught 19 graylings yesterday. Not an impressing number, but 9 of them (the graylings!) were between 35 and 45 cm.

Report 15th of September. Fishing conditions still superb. Hunting season is on. Good wood grouse hunting in our district this year. 4 hunters report 21 birds in four and a half days. Two others report 10 birds in the same period. See photogallery.

Report 14th of September. Also to day we shall have superb fishing conditions. The wateflow today should be less than 45 m3/s. This means that you now by wading can place your fly also on the most unreachable pools.

Report 13th of September. The perfect fishing conditions we have had for a period of time continuoue. Some raindrops after a dry period like we have this morning, normally give the graylings extra appetite. No artificial fly has been served on the fly zone since last Sunday so there are no catches to report.

Report 12th of September. Nice weather and low water (approx. 50 m3/s) has generated superb flyfishing conditions at the moment. I just wonder why so few flyfishermen are seen under these perfect circumstances, while there normally are lots of them when the conditions are not so good. Could it be that it is safer to go fishing under bad conditions, cause then you always have an excuse.....

Report 10th of September. No rain yesterday and weather reports saying that we shall have nice weather the rest of the week, indicates perfect fishing conditions the comming days.

Report 9th of September. Some rainshowers yesterday have generated a smaller increase in the waterflow, but fishing conditions are still very good. This week-end two Norwegian flyfishermen, Jørn Hagen and John Paulsen, were fishing on Gjerfloen. They delivered this catch report: 43 graylings, biggest 45 cm. Less than 30 cm: 14. 30 - 34 cm: 14. 35 - 39 cm: 8. + 40 cm: 7. Se pictures on "Photogallery".

Report 8th of September. Some rainshowers yesterday and last night led to a smaller waterflow increase this morning. The flow at the moment might have gone up to something like 65 m3/s but fishing conditions are still very good.

Report 6th of September. Some rainshowers yesterday led to a smaller waterflow increase. The flow at the moment might be something like 55 m3/s and fishing conditions are very good.

Report 5th of September. Some rain this morning will probabely continue during the day. This will most likely leed to a minor waterflow increase. If we don't get to much rain, conditions for fishing will be very good also the comming days.

Report 4th of September. Waterlevel goes on decreasing and fishing conditions in the streamy parts of the river near the border to Sweden have not been better since 1999! The graylings have now gathered in the holes with smooth water in the current and there are lots of them on small areas! Just find these holes and you.....

Report 3rd of September. Waterlevel down again on approximately 55 m3/s. Fishing conditions are very good. We saw yesterday that even if the conditions are good, the fish are not always easy to catch. Three flyfishermen from Karlstad, Sweden, were fishing on the flyzone yesterday. Two of them caught nearly nothing, while the more experienced Göran Lundqvist landed 28 graylings. 13 less than 30 cm, 7 between 30 - 35 and 8 between 35 - 40.

Report 2nd of September. The minor waterlevel increase we had yesterday is this morning reduced to nearly the same we had on Friday 30th (less than 60 m3/s). Perfect waterlevel, rainrefreshed water and favourable temperature should indicate nice catches for the Swedish group of flyfishers from Karlstad who are going to visit the flyzone later today.

Report 1st of September. Yesterday we had at times very heavy rain. As we have had no rain for three weeks, the soil was very dry and therefore the increase in the waterlevel was rather insignificant. Now we have nice weather again and fishing conditions are very good.

Report 31st of August. Tonight we have had real rain for the first time in three weeks. It is predicted that it will go on during the day. Some rain to fresh up the fishing waters now is OK, but we shall not have too much of it. If I could, I should have gone fishing this morning. A change in the weather very often wakes the fish and some rain after a long dry period always gives very good catches here.

Report 30th of August. The small rain we had last night had no influence on the the waterlevel "downfall". The flow at the moment must be less than 55 m3/s, which means superb fishing conditions on the lower part of the fly-zone. No fishermen on the flyzone since the two Czechs had a physical "training-camp" for the graylings there last week-end. Now the graylings should have recovered and are certainly fit for fight again this week-end.

Report 29th of August. The waterlevel "rush down" still goes on and the waterflow at the moment must be near 55 m3/s. No fishermen on the flyzone the last two days. According to the weatherforecast there will be no rain in this area the comming days. This means superb fishing conditions on the lower part of the fly-zone the comming week-end.

Report 28th of August. The waterlevel "rush down" still goes on and the waterflow at the moment must be near 60 m3/s. Fishing conditions are superb. No fishing on the flyzone yesterday. I also think the graylings needed a resting day after the heavy attacks from the two Czechs the previous two days.

Report 27th of August. The waterlevel "rush down" still goes on and the waterflow at the moment must be approx. 65 m3/s. Fishing conditions are superb. Two Czech experts have been fishing Sunday and Monday (average 7 hours pr day) and landed 157 graylings and 2 brown trouts (see photogallery). Here are their catch reports: Less than 20 cm: 2, 20 - 24 cm: 10, 25 - 28 cm: 35, 30 - 34 cm: 52, 35 - 39 cm: 44, 40 - 44 cm: 15, 45 - 49 cm: 1. All released.

Report 26th of August (06.30). The waterlevel "rush down" still goes on and the waterflow at the moment must be less than 70 m3/s. Perfect fishing conditions and the river is now more or less wadeable everywhere. The rule here is the opposite to what it is most other places: The less water, the better fishing! Yesterday two real experts from the Czech Republic visited the flyzone (69 graylings and 1 brown trout), and they will go on fishing also today (See photogallery).

Report 25th of August (06.00). The waterlevel "rush down" still goes on and the waterflow at the moment might be approx. 70 m3/s. Perfect fishing conditions. Yesterday a group of 7 flyfishermen from Karlstad, Sweden, visited the fly-zone. I have not yet received their catch reports, but I know that at least some of them were doing very well. Later today I'll be guiding two professionals from Czech Republic (members of the National Flyfishing Team). Reports are comming tomorrow.

Report 23rd of August. The waterlevel "rush down" still goes on and the waterflow at the moment might be approx. 75 m3/s. Perfect fishing conditions, and yesterday two smiling fishermen were seen on the flyzone. "Goldheads" worked best before noon, while dryflies (even if very few risings were observed) were the best choice in the afternoon. See photogallery.

Report 22nd of August. The waterlevel "rush down" still goes on and the waterflow at the moment might be less than 80 m3/s. Perfect fishing conditions, and this week-end traffic is announced on the fly zone also, so now we'll see what it really is like!

Report 21st of August. The waterlevel "rush down" still goes on and the waterflow at the moment should be approximatetely 80 m3/s. Perfect fishing conditions, but where are the fishermen?

Report 20th of August. The waterlevel "rush down" still goes on and this morning we have the lowest waterlvel so far this summer, which means that fishing conditions on the downstream part of the Gjerfloen fly zone is beginning to be superb. If this goes on I am very much looking forward to the comming week end. Two members of the Czech National Flyfishing Team will be fishing here for two days and I guess it's going to be a real fishing bonanza!

Report 19th of August. The waterlevel "rush down" still goes on and this morning the river is back to the level we had before the rain started on Monday (12th), which means perfect conditions on the downstream part of the Gjerfloen fly zone. If this weather keeps on, we can really look forward to a nice "after-summer" fishing season. This river is in many ways quite the opposite of the salmon and sea-trout rivers on the west coast. Here is the rule: The less water the better fishing.

Report 18th of August. The waterlevel "rush down" has been going on since Wednesday (14th) and it's just a few cm left till we are back to the level we had before the rain started on Monday (12th), which means perfect conditions on the downstream part of the Gjerfloen fly zone. At the moment we have the best fishing before noon. This because of the very warm days heatening the water. The colder and longer nights gives the water "refreshments" (lower temperature and more oksygen) which are appreciated by the trouts and the graylings.

Report 16th of August. The waterlevel "rush down" goes on and I guess that to morrow morning we are back again under the magic 90 m3/s which means perfect conditions on the downstream part of the Gjerfloen fly zone. Already yesterday before noon the graylings showed interest for flies again. Even if there were no risings and no hatching, several of them broke the watersurface to snatch an artificial fly! (See photogallery)

Report 15th of August. Since yesterday morning the water level at the Gjerfloeen Flyzone area has gone down incredible 25 cm! It's only 15 cm left till we are under the magic 90 m3/s again. No more rain and we shall have good conditions for fishing this week end.

Report 14th of August. Yesterday before noon the river nearly "exploded". The waterlevel went up nearly 50 cm during a few hours. To night it has rushed down 10 cm again. (Easy comes easy goes?). At the moment I can't get exact flow figures from the powerstation, but my guess is that we now have aproximately 160 m3/s. Meteorologists have announced that we should have no more rain for the rest of the week. If they turn out to be right there will be, if not perfect conditions for fishing, so at least possible to practise fishing activity in a more or less normal way the comming week-end.

Report 13th of August. Yesterday evening and last night we have had some very heavy rainshowers again. The water has reacted by going up again and will probabely do so through out the day. The waterlevel has gone up about 50 cm since yesterday afternoon (meassured 1400 today).

Report 12th of August. The waterlevel in the Trysil river goes on sinking and should now have crept under the magic 90 m3/s. Yesterday fishermen from Âlvdalen, Sweden, visited Gjerfloen. During a few hours in the middle of the day Leif Sörensen's catch report showed this dry-fly grayling-catch even if there were no risings: 1 between 20 - 24 cm, 4 betw 25- 29, 5 betw 30 - 34, 4 betw 35 - 39, 2 betw 40 - 44 cm. This shows that conditions finally are back to normal again. Right weather, right time and right man (woman) should now give record catches!

Report 11th of August. The waterlevel in the Trysil river goes on sinking and should now have reached the magic 90 m3/s. If we don't get too much rain the days ahead, conditions for fishing on the downstream part of Gjerfloen flyzone the week to come is going to be extremely good.

Report 10th of August. The waterlevel in the Trysil river goes on sinking and is now approaching the magic 90 m3/s. Testfishing late yesterday evening proved that the grayling's time of fasting is definitely over. Fishing before noon today (the classic period 0800 - 1100 am) should be even better as the watertemp. has gone further down during the night.

Report 9th of August. The waterlevel in the Trysil river goes on creeping down. Even if I can't get exact figures, the flow now must be less than 100 m3/s. Fishing conditions on the flyzone are beginning to be very good. The nights are also colder now and that benefits the grayling. I shall check out fishing this evening, and I shall be astonished if the fishing has not improved considerably!

Report 8th of August. No rainshowers yesterday and the waterlevel is continously going down. The flow this morning should be about 100 m3/s and that means good conditions for flyfishing. There has been very little rising the previous week (may be the watertemperature has been too high for the grayling's optimal well-being), but normally we should have colder nights from now on. This might wake the grayling's appetite again.

Report 7th of August. Only a few local tiny rainshowers yesterday afternoon too, and the waterlevel is continously going down. Again the powerstation have problems with publishing correct waterflow figures, my private guess is aprox. 105 m3/s. This flow would be normal at the end of June and the river is now easily accesible for wading.

Report 6th of August. Just a few local rainshowers yesterday afternoon were not enough to prevent the waterlevel going down again. Less than 110 m3/s this morning.

Norwegian Championship Flyfishing in Trysil the 3rd and 4th oh August 2002. Nice weather and not so good fishing, but a very well organized arrangement is a brief summing up of the two days from the partisipants. See pictures on the photogallery page. Results and other info you can find here: www.nkff.com

Report 5th of August. Rainshowers yesterday afternoon and this morning will probabely stop the fall of the waterlevel again. The weatherprophets foretell nice weather, but the weathergods are teasing them again.

Report 4th of August. Nice and dry weather yesterday and the waterlevel keeps on rushing down. 112 m3/s at the powerstation today. Warm weather generated insectactivity and risings from 10 o'clock last night.

Report 3rd of August. As we had no rain yesterday the waterlevel is now in full speed down again. I guess that figures from the powerstation later today will show something like 120 m3/s.

Report 2nd of August. The flow today is more or less the same we have had the last couple of days. Figures from the powerstation: 127 m3/s.

Report 1st of August. The waterflow was up to 129 m3/s this morning. Norwegian Championship Flyfishing will take place in Trysil this week-end and Gjerfloen Flyfishing zone will be one of the arenas. As there seem to be not so many participants as first estimated, the eastern bank of the fly-zone will be available for other fishermen. Report and pictures from this event will be on the web in the beginning of next week.

Report 31st of July. Rainshowers yesterday evening have kept the waterlevel unchanged since yesterday. 125 m3/s at the powerstation this morning too, but the flow has had a minor increase today and the figures might be a little higher tomorrow.

Report 30th of July. 125 m3/s also this morning. Some rainshowers yesterday evening obviously have temporarely stopped the decreace in the waterlevel falling.

Report 29th of July. Still no waterflow-figures available from the powerstation, but tomorrow they promised new figures. The waterlevel is nearly racing down and with the warm weather we have had to day (28 degrees C) I am looking very much forward to get the flow figures from the powerstation tomorrow. Late this evening I got the figures: 125 m3/s. Just a few more days without rain now and we are back to normal.

Report 28th of July. No waterflow-figures available from the powerstation till Monday. The water goes on sinking rapidly. The flow today is estimated to be redused to aproximately 130 m3/s. The weatherprophets wrong again. The promised sunshine from blue sky is absent, but, - what is more important, we have no rain.

Report 27th of July. No waterflow-figures available from the powerstation till Monday. The water goes on sinking rapidly. The flow this aternoon is estimated to be redused to aproximately 140 m3/s. The graylings were obviously woken up by the warm and sunny weather today and a number of nice graylings were landed by the swedish "Linköping gjenget" this afternoon. The fishing is expected to be even better tomorrow.

Report 26th of July. No waterflow-figures available from the powerstation today. We have had no rain since 24th and the waterlevel is sinking rapidly. The flow is estimated to be redused from 160 m3/s yesterday to less than 150 m3/s today. The fact that there were some hatching and risings yesterday afternoon should indicate that the predicted warm weather this week-end must generate some more insect hatching. Well, we all know how the graylings react under such circumstances.

Report 25th of July. The rain we had yesterday evening was not enough to stop the waterlevel going down. The waterflow at the powerstation this morning was 160 m3/s. Even if the waterflow for the time being is nearly twice of normal, the fish must have food. If we get what the weather prophets have promised, - sunshine and warm weather this week-end, there should be some hatching to inspire the graylings to breake the watersurface again.

Report 24th of July. No waterflow-figures available from the powerstation today. At Plassen the waterlevel has been more or less constant since yesterday caused by some more rain yesterday evening. As there have been only a few very tiny rainshowers this afternoon, it is expected that the waterlevel this evening will be on its way down again.

Report 23rd of July. The rain yesterday resulted in 15 mm precipitation at Plassen. The rainfall over the district has generated the waterflow up to 173 m3/s this afternoon. The waterlevel has now reached its maximum and as we have had only a few rainshowers today the waterlevel will be decreasing again tonight. We shall certainly have unnormally high water for some days ahead, but the weatherprognoses for the comming days are good and fishing might be OK again next week-end even if the water still will be high.

Report 22nd of July. The rainshowers last week has kept the river back from changing to normal after the "spring tide" July 11th. Today the waterflow at Lutufallet Powerstation is 160 m3/s. Normal for this time of the year should be less than 100 m3/s. However, even if the waterlevel is high, more or less similar to what we had last year, fishing is possible. If the weather and temperature is right, we can even have nice fishing on the right spots.

Report 14th of July. Trysil river soon back to normal! The river is slowly changing back to normal. However, it is a large watersystem and I guess it takes a week or so before we can see the river like it was before July 11th. There will be no updating of this page till July 22nd as I'm going north-west for seatroutfishing. This period my wife will take care of fishing liceces and info.

Report 13th of July. Fishing again in Trysil river! The waterlevel continues to go down very rapidly. Even if there still is some "sherry" in the water, the river has regained most of its transparency. We have had nice and warm weather today and even if the water still is high, my guess is that this evening and tomorrow we will see the graylings rising again.

Report 12th of July. Still no fishing in Trysil river! Last night the waterlevel went down approximately 20 cm and the watercolour is better, but no flyfishing today either. Keep on "charging the batteries", have patience and just wait, - we fishermen are used to that. (See pictures on the photogallery)

Report 11th of July. No fishing in Trysil river today! Last night a tropical thunderstorm struck the central and northern parts of Trysil and Engerdal and caused a "spring tide" in the Trysil river. The waterlevel jumped up more than one meter during a few hours before noon today and the waterflow is estimated to be more than 250 m3/s this afternoon. Normal for the time being should be 90 m3/s. The onrush of water from the sideriver Elta, swept away three bridges and a house. Several roads have been damaged and closed for traffic. The Trysil river has today been more or less like a brown porridge, totally opaque. If you have planned to visit the Trysil river for fishing the next couple of days, I would rather advice you to stay in bed, at the bardisk or whatever you prefer when fishing has rendered impossible. (See pictures on the photogallery page)

Report 9th of July. The waterflow is continuing to go down even if there still is a little rain in the air now and then and the waterlevel is OK for fishing. When can we again tune in with the good old Beatles' melody: "Here comes the sun"!?

Report 8th of July. The waterflow is on its way down again. As indicated on Friday (5th) the fishing this week-end was not too good even if there were shorter periods of "willingness". I think we should like to ask the weathergods a favour: "Sunshine and warm weather, please."

Report 6th of July. The waterflow has continued to go up since yesterday and is now approximately + 110 m3/s again. Last night we had a mild and nice weather and there were a lot of risings, but noone were fishing on the flyzone. New fishermen are comming later today.

Report 5th of July. Today the waterflow is a little up again caused by the rain we had last night. The flyfishing was therefore not so good before noon today. Nice weather this aternoon and quite good dry fly fishing (yellow/brown superpuppa). The weather reports are saying that we shall have rainshowers till Monday and sunshine again from Tuesday. This might leed to not so good fly fishing this weekend, but we have seen before that the weatherprophets not always are to rely on so we just have to wait and see.

Report 4th of July. Today the waterflow is further down and the fishing conditions on the downstream parts of the fly-zone are beginning to be real good. The germans have had good fishing so far today with black "Superpuppa". To night they will try again with black muddlers and sedges.

Report 3rd of July. It was not that rainy yesterday so the waterlevel will go on falling also today. There will be no waterflow figures the comming days because the powerstation is undergoing repairs. The lower waterflow the better is the fishing on the downstream part of the flyzone. At the end August 1999 the waterflow was less than 40 m3/s and the fishing then was absolutely marvellous. As there were no fishermen on the flyzone yesterday, there is nothing to report. 50 fishermen have so far returned 29 cathreports. These tell that since the 20th of June more than 400 fishes have been landed. 4 Swedes, "Team Götene", have had greatest success till now. During two days they landed more than 150 graylings mainly hooked by means of brown "Klinkhammer".

Report 2nd of July. Today the waterflow is down on 99 m3/s. This is normal for this time of the year. No fishermen on the fly-zone today (resting day for the fish). The weather forecast says that we shall have some rain today. This may influence the waterflow a little for tomorrow. The fishing yesterday evening was not so good. The reason could be a fall in the airpressure caused by the weatherchange.

Report 1st of July. Today the waterflow is down on 102 m3/s and will probably go further down during the rest of the day and night when we have had only a few very tiny rainshowers today. Three Germans were fishing from 0730 till 1130 this morning. Most of the graylings were around 35 cm and some bigger, up to 45 cm. Best success with "goldheads".

Report 30th of June. Today the waterflow is down again on 105 m3/s and will probably go further down during the night even if we have had some rainshowers today. Yesterday afternoon was not as good as expected because of the strong wind and colder weather. Today three Germans had nice fishing both before noon and in the evening. A good number of graylings between 35 and 40 cm and also a few 40 cm +.

Report 29th of June. Today the waterflow is up on 111 m3/s and will probably go down again till tomorrow as we have had nice weather today. 10 flyfishers on the fly-zone had nice fishing before noon today and I expect good fishing the rest of the day too. I am lookoing forward to seeing the cathreports this evening.

Report 28th of June. Today the waterflow is up on 110 m3/s and will probably go up a little more during the day because of the rain we had yesterday. Of the same reason the fishing yesterday was not so good. The weatherforecast predicts nice weather again next week. Then we just have to wait and see. Anyway, my experince is that the weather-gods have more power than the weather-prophets.

Report 27th of June. Today the waterflow is down on 102 m3/s. There are 10 flyfishermen, all swedes, on the fly zone today. Weather changing between rainshowers and sunshine today, normally generates good fishing. Fishingreport comes tomorrow

Report 26th of June. Today the waterflow is down on 104 m3/s. 4 swedish fishermen from "Götene" caught together 101 graylings on the fly-zone yesterday. Most of them between 25 and 35 cm, but also some bigger. Nice weather and favourable waterlevel should give perfect conditions for fishing also this evening.

Report 25th of June. Today the waterflow is down on 106 m3/s again. 8 fishermen on the fly-zone had good fishing before noon today. Nice weather and favourable waterlevel should give perfect conditions for fishing this evening.

Report 24th of June. We had some rain yesterday evening that influenced the waterflow a little (up to 110 m3/s). The waterlevel are still normal and conditions for fishing are good.

We had some rain last night that probabaly will generate a minor increase in the waterflow during the day, but conditions for fishing are still good. Sunshine after rain normally produces mayfly hatching.

Yesterday the first yellow May flies were seen! Saturday, at 8 o'clock pm, there were a lot raising graylings at the upper calm-flowing part of the flyzone. In spite of nice weather, raising graylings and good water conditions, - no flyfishers was observed the whole day. Of course we know that these people may be a little bit conservative, but it is possible to have nice flyfishing even if it is not week 26!
