Statistics based on the fishermen's catch reports 2002 - 2004

From the statistics below it is most interesting to see that the number of + 35 cm fishes are growing. In the year 1999, the year before we started Gjerfloen Flyfishing, test fishing showed that only 10 % of the graylings were + 35 cm. And now, in 2004 the percentage is 34!

940 fishes in the different lenght groups 2004

708 fishes in the different lenght groups 2003

13th of August

Water flow down to 43 m3/s. Water level is perfect on the lower part of the fly zone. Water temp: 19 C degrees at Plassen at 8 o'clock AM today. I guess the graylings will wake up again this week end.

12th of August

Water flow down to 46 m3/s. The warm weather continous and even if the water level is perfect the warm water makes the fish hard to catch. Water temp: 22 C degrees at Plassen at 5 o'clock PM today. Colder nights and lower daytemp are predicted. I therefore think that the graylings very soon will wake up again.

11th of August

Water flow down to 48 m3/s. The warm weather continous and even if the water level is perfect the warm water (approx. 20 C degrees in the afternoon) makes the fish hard to catch.

10th of August

Water flow down to 50 m3/s. The water level is perfect for fishing. The warm water makes the fish hard to catch, though I hooked a few graylings on czech nymphs between 0700 and 0900 this morning. Best periods: Late evening and morning.

8th of August

Water flow down to 55 m3/s again. The water level is again perfect for fishing, but the warm and sunny weather has heatened the water up to nearly 20 C degrees. I guess there will be no good fishing till we get lower temperatures again.

16th of June

Stable and perfect water flow for fishing the last few days, but strong and cold wind from the north has made the conditions difficult. For the week end some rain are predicted and that might not be to bad if we get less wind.

6th of June

Water flow down to 64 m3/s this morning. Last year we had the same waterflow as late as the 7th of September! So low water this early in the season is absolutely abnormal, but it makes perfect conditions for fly fishing. I was discussing this matter the other day with an old man, living all his 92 years on the bank of this river. He had never ever seen such a low water in the beginning of June! It might perhaps also be of interest that at Plassen we have had only 13.3 mm of rain since 1st of May!

4th of June

Flow down to 65 m3/s this morning. Nice weather and extremely good fishing conditions at the moment!

2nd of June

May

31st of May

Flow down to 70 m3/s this morning. Water temp. 10,5 C degrees. Very good fishing conditions.

30th of May

Flow down to 71 m3/s this morning. This is a extremely low flow so early in the season, but it is perfect for the fish and for the fishermen. The graylings have been rising in large numbers the last couple of days, but no fishermen have been observed (this phenomena might also be an advantage for the fish...)

29th of May

The flow down to 78 m3/s this morning. Nice weather and very good flyfishing conditions. Afternoon and early evening are the best periods for fishing at the moment.

28th of May

Waterflow down to 80 m3/s and water temp. 9 C degrees this morning. Nice weather and rising watertemp is predicted the days ahead. These facts indicates perfect conditions for flyfishing this week end.

27th of May

Water flow down 5 m3/s to 85 m3/s this morning. The sun is shining again and flyfishing conditions are very good! Some good graylings showed their backfinns before noon today.

26th of May

The first graylings are obsreved rising at Plassen! Even if we have had cold weather for a long period now there has been some hatching. Warmer weather are predicted from now on and I'm sure that those who have the opportunity to present their dryflies here the comming week end will go home with some wonderful memories. The water flow today is 90 m3/s, the same level we had in the beginning of of July last year. This means that most of the hotspots are wadeable.

16th of May

The water level is going rapidly down. The water flow in the Trysil river is at the moment less than 150 m3/s. This level is what is normal about the 10th of June. If we get some more sun now, we might see the backfinns of the first graylings about the 20th of May. This is 3 weeks earlier than normal. Reports will be comming.

2nd of May

We have had a very early spring again this year. I shall not be astonished if the first graylings show their backfin as early as the 25th of May (Normally we see the first rings on the water between the 5th and the 10th of June). It might as well be that we get a June like the year 2002, the hatching of the different insects appeared nearly two weeks before normal. Info will come on this website.
