As this wonderful fish laid asides me on the gravel of the Guala, I did know, that I had lost my fisherman's heart to this river and it's silver royalties.

Upon arriving in the Storen area, the river and the surrounding area was as beautiful as the photos and videos of the area had portrayed it.

At dusk, slightly after 21 o´clock, the first salmon took my Red Frances with a bang in Island pool. Brought it in after a while and saw a nice cock fish right in the wild eyes before release.

I can now appreciate why anglers return to this great river year after year as there is a very real chance of a 40lb plus fish.

I would like to return as soon as possible and in due time have my children to come fishing with me.

After only one week at home, I’m already thinking and even dreaming of my next years trip to the famous river Gaula.

I always had the feeling when fishing down a pool that at any time a monster might take the fly and disappear over the horizon with it!
