Check out our short film we made from the new NFC Lodge at Rogstadmoen Lodge this summer! We are really proud of our new facility, with its beautiful location and comfortable accommodation. ...

With the NFC staff now back in our respective homes after the fishing season, we would like to take a moment, before eagerly throwing ourselves into next year’s fishing season, to look back over our 2014 summer on the Gaula. ...

The final two weeks of our Gaula season have been really great! Following some good rain and a typical mid-summer flood, suddenly the fishing was as good as the Gaula is renowned for especially for this late in the season. We were able to land a lot of fish during these two weeks, many of them grilse, but also a lot of medium sized fish and as a few really big fish including our biggest fish of the season, and the 2nd biggest fish of the season (biggest fly caught) on the entire Gaula for the season, - an 18 kg (40 lbs. ) salmon caught by Manfred Raguse on our Beat L2 in Lundamo on the 26th of August!!!

The air temperatures at nights have been now down to 10 °C and day temperatures did not reach often more than 20 °C. But due to just very little rainfalls the river dropped back quickly to quite low levels, so the fishing did not improve that much as we hoped, even though that the water temperature is slowly cooling down. The last rain pushed in some sea trout and new salmon and our chef Per Högvall landed a grilse about 1,5kg in beginning of last week ...

The week 32 continued the trend of very low water and challenging fishing, but finally the weather forcast was right, and we finally got some much needed rain and as soon the river rose the fish started moving and we had some action.

We experienced another week of very low water on the Gaula. The promised rain never really came. A few short showers, but nothing solid which would make the river rising ...

All last week has been very hot and the water level kept on dropping constantly to a very low level, even below 10m³ at the Gaulfossen. As well water temperatures went up to over 20 °C which means that salmon fishing gets very difficult. Despite these bad conditions our fishermen still caught some fish, lost several more and had some action ...

Week 29 started with a nice water level over 50m 3

This week started with hot air temperatures up to 30°C and this unusually warm weather has continued all week. Despite the hot summer conditions with its hot air and warm water the fishing has been improved quite a bit. All our guest this week have caught fish ...

While water levels were constantly dropping and water and weather conditions were actually very good, we had a slow start into week 27 – we had a few lost fish and our Swiss guest Gerardo Zappa was able to catch and release a grilse on Beat B1. But things should change by middle of the week. Suddenly a good run of fresh fish arrived on our lower Beats ...

The water level constantly dropped during last week. The higher water certainly made the fish moving and so our fishermen were able to land some nice fish. ...

After a week of miserable weather and very cold temperatures, the new week started off with a flood due to heavy rainfall. The river rose up to over 500 m³ at the Gaulfossen on Sunday afternoon and the river looked almost unfishable, but we had 2 clients from the Netherlands who were very eager to get out, no matter what, just to do some casts down here at our Lodge Pool – which turned out to be a very good decision! After only an hour of fishing Vincent Bekke was able to hook a good fish, and after an exiting fight he was able to release his first salmon! Congratulations Vincent!

After the high water in the beginning of last week the fishing did not pick up as we hoped it would. Even though we had rather good conditions the big run did not arrive. Finally on Thursday we got reports that suddenly a good number of fish were running through the lower river and that some fish had been caught down there ...

After a nice welcome dinner and a celebration of the season opening with a big bonfire just below our new Lodge with all our guests and staff, the Gaula season 2014 finally started. ...
May 11, 2014, 6:09 a.m.
It’s great to be back on the Gaula and we are very excited about the new NFC Lodge and the 2014 season! We are looking forward to welcoming all of you in the coming months!

While the salmon season is coming closer and closer, the construction of the new NFC Lodge accommodation wing is in full swing! The construction planning began in September and already now we can see that the project is well in time for the season start on the 1st of June 2014.
...Dec. 13, 2013, 4:56 p.m.
From all of us at NFC we would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

First of all we would like to thank all supporters and guests for the past season 2013!

During the last two weeks of the season the fishing remained challenging compared to what we had hoped for- even though the conditions were not too bad. We had hoped that after the flood in week 33 that a good number of fresh fish would run the river, and although some fresh fish were seen and caught, no great numbers showed up. Our conclusion was similar to may rivers not only in Norway, but throughout the Atlantic Salmon world- the runs were simply not as strong as we had all expected ...

On Sunday evening at our weekly dinner and start meeting we were not sure if the weather forecast was correct. There were prospected to fall 148mm of rain within 48 hours! This would have meant a huge flood. We prepared ourselves and brought in all our shelters and benches from the river banks on Monday morning and waited to see what would happen ...
Aug. 11, 2013, 11:16 p.m.
The fishing in week 32 continued to be quite good on the NFC beats. The average size has not been as high but several good fish have been caught during the last days. ...
Aug. 5, 2013, 12:51 a.m.
The week 31 started with a lower water level, but due to the rise in the water level last week there were a few fresh fish running. The lower water level was actually perfect to start for our salmon fishing course, which was taking place this week with 7 new salmon fishermen. Bernd Kuleisa from Germany has been hosting a course for many years on the NFC waters, mostly with German clients ...
