Report 10th of October. Waterflow 85 m3/s. Watertemp 8 C degrees.

Report 3rd of October. The September statistics show that 929 fishes were landed (77 daylicences were sold). 62 % of the catches were less than 30 cms. We have seen that since the middle of July the percentage of the fish less than 30 cms have been going up. High water temperature might be one of the reasons that the bigger ones have been hard to catch. So far this summer (pr 30th of September) 2.600 fishes are reported landed on Gjerfloen Flyfishing!
