November
3rd of November
168 fishing licenses 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 wate rlevel 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.

more than 20 cm are landed, - 954 graylings and 8 brown trouts. Only 4 fishes are
reported killed.
October
27th of October
Fly fishing is still possible on Gjerfloen. Not even drifting ice pieces on the water,
prevented fishing journalist Erland Fjell from getting the fishing pictures he needed
for a comming article in the Norwegian fishing magazine "Alt om Fiske". (See photogallery)
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)
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.

Fishing conditions superb.
3rd of October
Fishing conditions superb. At the moment we have the lowest water level 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.
September
30th of September
Fishing conditions superb. Water flow 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.
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.
27th of September
Fishing conditions superb. Water flow 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 photo gallery.
25th of September
No locals are fishing today. Why? It's D-day! Or in other words, moosehunting starts
today.
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.
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.
21st of September
A team from Västerås, Sweden, have had nice nymph fishing on the fly zone yesterday
and today. See photo gallery.
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!
18th of September
Yesterday we also had some minor rain showers to fresh up the water. In spite of
the superb fishing conditions nobody has been fishing on the fly zone since Sunday.
17th of September
Yesterday we had some rain showers 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!
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.
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 photo gallery.
14th of September
Also to day we shall have superb fishing conditions. The water flow 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.
13th of September
The perfect fishing conditions we have had for a period of time continuoue. Some
rain drops 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.
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 fly fishermen 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...
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.
9th of September
Some rain showers 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".
8th of September
Some rain showers yesterday and last night led to a smaller water flow 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.
6th of September
Some rain showers yesterday led to a smaller water flow increase. The flow at the
moment might be something like 55 m3/s and fishing conditions are very good.
5th of September
Some rain this morning will probabely continue during the day. This will most likely
leed to a minor water flow increase. If we don't get to much rain, conditions for
fishing will be very good also the comming days.
4th of September
Water level 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...
3rd of September
Water level 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 fly fishermen from Karlstad, Sweden, were fishing on the fly zone
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.
2nd of September
The minor water level increase we had yesterday is this morning reduced to nearly
the same we had on Friday 30th (less than 60 m3/s). Perfect water level, rain refreshed
water and favourable temperature should indicate nice catches for the Swedish group
of flyfishers from Karlstad who are going to visit the fly zone later today.
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 water level was rather insignificant.
Now we have nice weather again and fishing conditions are very good.
August
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.
30th of August
The little 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.
29th of August
The water level "rush down" still goes on and the water flow at the moment must be
near 55 m3/s. No fishermen on the fly zone the last two days. According to the weather forecast
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.
28th of August
The water level "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 fly zone yesterday.
I also think the graylings needed a resting day after the heavy attacks from the
two Czechs the previous two days.
27th of August
The water level "rush down" still goes on and the water flow 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.
26th of August (06.30)
The water level "rush down" still goes on and the water flow 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 fly zone (69 graylings and 1 brown trout), and they will go on fishing
also today (See photogallery).
25th of August (06.00)
The water level "rush down" still goes on and the water flow at the moment might be
approx. 70 m3/s. Perfect fishing conditions. Yesterday a group of 7 fly fishermen
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.
23rd of August
The water level "rush down" still goes on and the water flow at the moment might be
approx. 75 m3/s. Perfect fishing conditions, and yesterday two smiling fishermen
were seen on the fly zone. "Goldheads" worked best before noon, while dry flies (even
if very few risings were observed) were the best choice in the afternoon. See photo gallery.
22nd of August
The water level "rush down" still goes on and the water flow 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!
21st of August
The water level "rush down" still goes on and the water flow at the moment should
be approximatetely 80 m3/s. Perfect fishing conditions, but where are the fishermen?
20th of August
The water level "rush down" still goes on and this morning we have the lowest waterlvel
so far this summer, which means that fishing conditions on the down stream 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!
19th of August
The water level "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 down stream part of the Gjerfloen fly zone. If this weather keeps on, we can
really look forward to a nice "late 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.
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 down stream 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.
16th of August
The water level "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 down stream 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 water surface to snatch an artificial fly! (See photo gallery)
15th of August
Since yesterday morning the water level at the Gjerfloen fly zone 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.
14th of August
Yesterday before noon the river nearly "exploded". The water level 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 power station, 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.
13th of August
Yesterday evening and last night we have had some very heavy rain showers 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).
12th of August
The water level 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!
11th of August
The water level 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 down stream part of Gjerfloen fly zone the week to come is going to be extremely
good.
10th of August
The water level in the Trysil river goes on sinking and is now approaching the magic
90 m3/s. Test fishing 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 water temp. has gone further down during the night.
9th of August
The water level 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 fly zone
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!
8th of August
No rain showers yesterday and the waterlevel is continously going down. The flow
this morning should be about 100 m3/s and that means good conditions for fly fishing.
There has been very little rising the previous week (may be the water temperature
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.
7th of August
Only a few local tiny rain showers yesterday afternoon too, and the waterlevel is
continously going down. Again the power station have problems with publishing correct
water flow 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.
6th of August
Just a few local rain showers 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 photo gallery
page. Results and other info you can find here: www.nkff.com
5th of August
Rain showers yesterday afternoon and this morning will probabely stop the fall of
the waterlevel again. The weather prophets foretell nice weather, but the weather gods
are teasing them again.
4th of August
Nice and dry weather yesterday and the water level keeps on rushing down. 112 m3/s
at the power station today. Warm weather generated insectactivity and risings from
10 o'clock last night.
3rd of August
As we had no rain yesterday the water level is now in full speed down again. I guess
that figures from the power station later today will show something like 120 m3/s.
2nd of August
The flow today is more or less the same we have had the last couple of days. Figures
from the power station: 127 m3/s.
1st of August
The water flow 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.
July
30th of July
125 m3/s also this morning. Some rain showers yesterday evening obviously have temporarely
stopped the decreace in the water level falling.
29th of July
Still no water flow-figures available from the power station, but tomorrow they promised
new figures. The water level 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 power station 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.
28th of July
No water flow figures available from the power station till Monday. The water goes
on sinking rapidly. The flow today is estimated to be redused to aproximately 130
m3/s. The weather prophets wrong again. The promised sunshine from blue sky is absent,
but, - what is more important, we have no rain.
27th of July
No water flow figures available from the power station 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.
26th of July
No water flow-figures available from the power station today. We have had no rain
since 24th and the water level 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.
25th of July
The rain we had yesterday evening was not enough to stop the water level going down.
The water flow at the power station this morning was 160 m3/s. Even if the water flow
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 water surface
again.
24th of July
No waterflow figures available from the power station today. At Plassen the water level
has been more or less constant since yesterday caused by some more rain yesterday
evening. As there have been only a few very tiny rain showers this afternoon, it
is expected that the water level this evening will be on its way down again.
23rd of July
The rain yesterday resulted in 15 mm precipitation at Plassen. The rain fall over
the district has generated the water flow up to 173 m3/s this afternoon. The water level
has now reached its maximum and as we have had only a few rain showers today the
waterl evel will be decreasing again tonight. We shall certainly have unnormally
high water for some days ahead, but the weather prognoses for the comming days are
good and fishing might be OK again next week end even if the water still will be
high.
22nd of July
The rain showers 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 water level 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.
14th of July
Trysil river soon back to normal! The river is slowly changing back to normal. However,
it is a large water system 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 seatrout fishing. This period my wife will
take care of fishing liceses and info.
13th of July
Fishing again in Trysil river! The wate rlevel 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.
12th of July
Still no fishing in Trysil river! Last night the water level went down approximately
20 cm and the water colour is better, but no fly fishing today either. Keep on "charging
the batteries", have patience and just wait, - we fishermen are used to that. (See
pictures on the photo gallery)
11th of July
No fishing in Trysil river today! Last night a tropical thunder storm struck the
central and northern parts of Trysil and Engerdal and caused a "spring tide" in
the Trysil river. The water level jumped up more than one meter during a few hours
before noon today and the water flow 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 photo gallery
page)
9th of July
The water flow is continuing to go down even if there still is a little rain in the
air now and then and the water level is OK for fishing. When can we again tune in
with the good old Beatles' melody: "Here comes the sun"!?
8th of July
The water flow 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 weather gods a favour: "Sunshine and warm weather,
please."
6th of July
The water flow 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 fly zone. New fishermen are comming later
today.
5th of July
Today the water flow is a little up again caused by the rain we had last night. The
fly fishing 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 rain showers 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 weather prophets not always are to rely on so we just have to wait and see.
4th of July
Today the water flow 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.
3rd of July
It was not that rainy yesterday so the water level will go on falling also today.
There will be no waterflow figures the comming days because the power station is
undergoing repairs. The lower water flow the better is the fishing on the down stream
part of the fly zone. At the end August 1999 the water flow was less than 40 m3/s
and the fishing then was absolutely marvellous. As there were no fishermen on the
fly zone 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".
2nd of July
Today the water flow 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 water flow a little
for tomorrow. The fishing yesterday evening was not so good. The reason could be
a fall in the air pressure caused by the weather change.
1st of July
Today the water flow 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 rain showers
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".
June
30th of June
Today the water flow is down again on 105 m3/s and will probably go further down
during the night even if we have had some rain showers 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 +.
29th of June
Today the water flow 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 cath reports this evening.
28th of June
Today the water flow 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 weather forecast 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.
27th of June
Today the water flow is down on 102 m3/s. There are 10 fly fishermen, all swedes,
on the fly zone today. Weather changing between rain showers and sunshine today,
normally generates good fishing. Fishing report comes tomorrow.
26th of June
Today the water flow 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.
25th of June
Today the water flow is down on 106 m3/s again. 8 fishermen on the fly zone had good
fishing before noon today. Nice weather and favourable water level should give perfect
conditions for fishing this evening.
24th of June
We had some rain yesterday evening that influenced the water flow a little (up to
110 m3/s). The water level are still normal and conditions for fishing are good.
21st of June
We had some rain last night that probabaly will keep the water flow stabil during
the day (106 m3/s this morning). The last few days the water level has been more
or less constant. Conditions for fishing are still good. The predicted improve in
the weather this afternoon should indicate good fishing this evening.
19th of June (07.00 am)
The terrible weather that was predicted to reach our district last night didn't
come and at this moment the sun is shining from a blue sky. We had some rain last
night that probabaly will generate a minor increase in the water flow during the
day, but conditions for fishing are still good. Sunshine after rain normally produces
may fly hatching.
17th of June
Because of some rain showers yesterday the water flow has increased from 104 m3/s
to 106 m3/s today. The water level is normal for this time of the summer. Conditions
for fishing are good.
16th of June
Since the rain stopped the water flow is reduced from 125 m3/s a couple of days ago
to 104 m3/s today. This afternoon the danica hatched in large numbers and the fish
reacted with lots of risings all over the river.
11th of June
Flow: 100 m3/s. Caused by some heavy rain showers the last couple of days the water level
has gone a little up again, but conditions for fishing are still good. Temperature
more than 20 degrees C every day also generates high insect activity.
9th of June
Flow: 90 m3/s. No temp. observation to day, - technical problems at the power station.
The water flow at the moment is similar to what is normal at midsummer. Yesterday
the first yellow May flies were seen! Saturday, at 8 o'clock pm, there were a lot
raising graylings at the upper slow streaming part of the fly zone. 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 fly fishing even if it is not week 26!
7th of June
Flow: 95 m3/s. No temp. observation to day. Compared with normal: Water flow lower.
6th of June
Flow: 100 m3/s. Temp.: 16 degrees C. Compared with normal: Water flow lower, temp.
higher. Conditions for fly fishing are biginning to be good. The water flow at the
moment is less than we had most of last summer. Coming week-end I guess fly fishing
in our district will take off.
3rd of June
Flow: 125 m3/s. Temp.: 14 degrees C Compared with normal: Water flow lower, temp.
higher.
May
31st of May
