Fishing licences 2005

The number of sold fishing licencec increased from 228 last year till 263 this year.

644 fishes based on cath reports from the fishermen 2005 dispersed in lenght groups

Compared with the statistics below (2002 - 2004) we can see that the fishing this year has not been so good. June was cold with high water. July was warm and the watertemperature was too high. In August we got too high water again. September and October were very good months even if the water in periods was high. November seem to be the ultimate month for the biggest graylings. statistic below. The November figures are not included in the statistic abowe.

99 fishes caught during November 2005

From this statistic we can see that November (cold water) is the best period for the biggest graylings! The November fishes are caught by myself and Geir Kjensmo (one day).

940 fishes dispersed in lenght groups 2004

708 fishes dispersed in lenght groups 2003

1043 fishes dispersed in lenght groups 2002

Catches pr month 2005

Catches pr month 2002 - 2004

This year I was tagging fish again in September and October, like I did in 2001 (statistics below). These fishes are very accurately measured and registrated. According to these figures, which I consider very reliable, the percentage of graylings over 35 cms within the flyzone has incresed from 19,5 till 36,6 since 2001. These tagged fishes are not included in the statistics from 2005 abowe.

427 fishes dispersed in lenght groups 2005

470 fishes dispersed in lenght groups 2001

Report 7th of August. It's been raining for two days now and the flow was 93 m3/s this morning. Tomorrow I'm afraid the figure will be much higher. Bad fishing conditions in the river at the moment.

Report 17th of July. Waterflow 68 m3/s which is a little belowe the normal level for this time of the year. Heavy rain last night brought the watertemp down from 20 C degrees yesterday to 17 C degrees today. The rain lifted the the waterlevel a little and the graylings also obviously found the lower watertemperature more pleasant. With Czech nymphs I hooked 6 graylings around noon today. There were also some risings so dryfly would have worked too. The weatherforecast indicates that fishing conditions the comming days will be good.

Report 10th of July. Waterflow 75 m3/s which is the average for this time of the year. The watertemp was this afternoon 20 C degrees. The fishing was OK till Thursday and the MOUNTAIN MEDIA staff had nice fishing before noon that day, but the rest of the week the watertemp has been too high. The weatherforecast says that we shall have warm weather also the comming days and the fishing will not be better again till we get colder weather.

Report 3rd of July. Waterflow 90 m3/s. Watertemp 17 C degrees. Fishing and wading conditions are good. From now on, nightfishing also will be very interesting.

Friday, during the competition, brown trouts 48 and 52 cms were landed on Landsjøen. Warmer weather is predicted the comming week. If the weather prophets turn out to be right, week 25 might be one of the best fishing week this season!

Report 12th of June. Waterflow down to 133 m3/s this morning. Watertemp 11 C degrees. Nymphfishing yesterday morning was not so good, but some grayligs were landed (see photogallery). Later in the afternoon dryfly fishing was more successfull. Emergers seemed to be the best choice. Last night and today we it's raining and the flow will go up again.

Report 10th of June. Waterflow down to 140 m3/s this morning. Sunny weather, but cold wind from the north again today and not so good fishing conditions as yesterday.

Report 9th of June. Waterflow down to 148 m3/s this morning. Watertemp 10 c degrees. Landed a couple of graylings between 30 and 35 cms this morning, czech nymphs, but it was obvious that they were more interested in food near the surface, probabely emergers. I didn't try dryfly, but I think a Klinkhammer would have been the good choice.

Report 8th of June. Waterflow down to 156 m3/s this morning. Better weather today. Lots of graylings were rising at 5 o'clock this afternoon. I'll let them see my flies tomorrow before noon. My first "summer brown trout" at Landsjøen this evening (see photogallery).

Report 6th of June. Waterflow down to 180 m3/s this morning. Weatherreports suggest that the cold weather will keep on the rest of the week.

Report 5th of June. Waterflow down to 190 m3/s this morning. Watertemp 9 C degrees. Strong wind from north and therefore no good fishing conditions today. No vulgata observed on Landsjøen so far. It will turn up the comming week.

Report 4th of June. Waterlevel down 10 cms since June 2nd. The rainy and cold weather never seems to come to an end, but nevertheless, the watertemp was up to 9 C degrees this afternoon. Czech nymphing gave me 4 graylings, two of them between 35 and 40 cms.

Report 2nd of June. In spite of cold wind from the north, the graylings started rising at Plassen this afternoon! No reports from the powerstation to day, but the river has dropped about 10 cms since yesterday.

Report 1st of June. Waterflow a little bit down, 230 m3/s this morning. The cold weather we have had for a long time, seems to continue and fishing conditions are not good. But, - the fish are eating and the question is as always; Right strategy and methods!

Report 30th of May. Waterflow stable, 234 m3/s also this morning.

Report 29th of May. Waterflow down to 234 m3/s this morning. Professionals at Landsjøen. See the Photogallery page.

Report 27th of May. Waterflow down to 265 m3/s this morning.

Report 25th of May. Waterflow up 66 m3/s since 23rd, to 282 m3/s this morning.

Report 23rd of May. This weekend we finally had warmer weather which generated snowmelting in the mountains. The waterlevel has gone up 50 cm since Friday and will reach it's higest level by the end of the week. 220 m3/s this morning. I therfore guess that we shall see the first rising graylings in the middle of week 22.

Report 18th of May. We have had a cold spring and there are still a lot of snow in the mountains. This means that we might get a more normal summer this year than we had the two previous years. My guess is that we shall have top hatching week 25 and 26 in this area. Last year week 24 was best, but we had a very early spring in 2004.

Report 8th of May. The ice on the Trysil River disappared 3 weeks ago and the first contacts with the "fly-graylings" have been made. The snowmelting in the mountains will make the waterlevel going up and reach the top in about ten days from now. From the 25th of May we shall look for rising graylings, but at the moment we are still icefishing! See the photogallery page.
