10 mms pr hour. Water flow 95 m3/s this morning. Water temp 15 C degrees. We have
now, due to the weather conditions, had 3 weeks of difficult fishing. Last Friday

convinced that today and tomorrow will be a highlight to good fishermen. Wednesday
is predicted to be rainy so therefore: GO FISHING NOW!

The water flow down to 64 m3/s this morning. Water temp 19 C. Because of high water temperature
last week (up to 23 C degrees late afternoon), the fishing has been very tricky.

generate better fishing.
