Week 29 was the first week thus far this season we experienced consistently dropping water levels, and the river finally reached what we would consider a “normal” summer level. ...

Week 28 was another week with a lot of rain and very high water levels, the river came up, dropped and came up again right away after a lot of rain fall. But the fish did not seem to mind the rain, and fluctuating river, as the week was filled with many great fish, including the largest fish of the season thus far for the NFC! ...

Week 27 has been a great week for us at NFC! With over 70 fish for the week- the fishing has been on fire all week long. Fish of all sizes have been caught throughout our beats, as well as grilse have been caught in great numbers- signaling the start of the grilse run, which only adds to the fun. The water conditions continue to favor us – yo-yoing between 60 and 150 kbm at the Gaulfossen gauge, which makes for superb fishing on all of our beats ...

To start things off, we want to mention the last couple of fish of Week 25 caught on Sunday morning. Below NFC regular Andreas Grass landed a very nice salmon of 101cm on Beat G1.

Even though we experienced a nearly constant high water season so far, the salmon have had some short windows to pass the Gaulfossen – opening up the fishing throughout our waters. This week we began catching fish above the Gaulfoss – great news for all fishermen coming to the NFC in the coming weeks! ...

The past week we had quite high water levels and fishing was not easy on the fly, but still we have landed some great fish on our waters. ...

It's all set for a good start into the season 2017. The Lodge is ready to welcome guests, the water level dropped down to a very fishable and nice level, and at the Gaulfossen Pool have been seen fresh salmon splashing - it looks pretty good and are very exited about the opening in a few hours! ...

With varied weeks, some exceptionally large fish, and a slower back end, the Gaula seems to be back fishing as we all dream of!

The week stared off with a great session on beat E7 for Mike and his two sons Ryan and Kevin - the Knowles family, visiting from America. After 1 hour of fishing Ryan and Kevin where both into a fish at the same time! While Kevin landed his first Atlantic salmon of about 6kg, Ryan was in the middle of fighting a really big fish – sadly the fish came off after a 25 min fight. It was a really big one, but these things happen ...

Earlier this season we had our friends at InWaders Media, Frederik Lorentzen and Jan Delaporte come and shoot a beautiful short film on our waters, and we wanted to share it with you all. We hope you enjoy watching it: ...

Week 29 because of the unusually low water, was less productive than a typical week 29 is supposed to be. The water continued to drop to a very low level and the fish have not been active at all. Since the river has not been rising for weeks, it seems as though the salmon in the pools have not been in any mood to take any flies ...

This week our French guest and friend Fabrice Bergues returned with his large group of French fishermen. The week started off with a great session for Francois Deloup who was able to catch 3 salmon on his first day, 2 of them he caught at Langøy (Beat B1) and the 3rd at Tilseth Pool (C2). The following morning, after the river rose a bit overnight, Fabrice fished Beat B1 and was able to land huge salmon of 120cm and estimated to weigh about 18,5kg - what a fish! Not only Fabrice’s largest salmon to date, this is the biggest fish landed at NFC so far this season!
...11 juillet 2016 17:51
Week 27 started out promising with a little rise of the water level. NFC regular guest from Germany, Werner Brinker started out the week fishing beat E7 and caught a great fish of 10,3kg (22. 7lbs)! On Beat B1 it was our Norwegian guest Stein Erik Lid who started his week with a grilse of 2,5kg ...

Week 25 started as good as week 24 ended- the great fishing continued. Manfred Raguse caught the first fish of week. Manfred was able to catch and release a big fish of about 12,5kg on Beat C2 ...

The week started off with a water level of about 60kbm at Gaulfossen, which we consider to be a regular summer water level, but is quite low for this time of the season. But this water level is great for most of our pools and fish are spread out, which means you have a good chance to catch fish on any beat right now, which is great fun! The week started with a salmon on our E-Beats, caught by regular Austrian guest Franz Hochecker – a nice fish of about 11kg.

The Gaula as well as many other Norwegian rivers have had a great start to the salmon season 2016 so far. Our fishermen have experienced a great season start, with a lot of nice fish landed at NFC since our last update. ...

The conditions right now are perfect! The water is constantly dropping, the water temperature is already about 9 °C and the fishing right now on the lower Gaula is very good. The fish seem to be coming in groups, so it’s a matter of being in the right place at the right time, but if you hit it – your “salmon heaven” awaits! ...

During the afternoon of June 1st, Giulio Righini was able to land his first Gaula salmon which was also his first salmon ever! Congratulations Giulio! Our 2nd fish of the season was caught on Beat L1.
...1 juin 2016 19:35
After preparing all our beats and the Lodge for the coming season we finally got started last night. Due to snow melt the water level rose quite a bit up to 399 kbm at the Gaulfossen gauge. But already short after midnight some fish have been caught on the lower river – it looks like a good start as on the whole lower river are caught a good number of fish in good sizes already ...

In just about a month’s time, the 2016 season will be under way. All signs point toward 2016 being a “big fish“ year. Due to the high number of medium-sized fish we saw last year in the river, we’re expecting many of the returning fish will be larger than average size ...
