The season 2009 has started
The first salmon of the season 2009, caught by Johannes Kahrs on a Green Highlander tube fly. The salmon of about 9,5 kg (21 lbs.) has been carefully released after taking these pictures.
As usual for the season start several of our regular guests and friends have arrived to fish with us the season start at midnight. Whilst the water level on the 30st of May was at a moderate level of approx. 190 m3/ sec some heavy rainfalls which caused some snow melt brought the river up to 341 m3/sec. in the early morning hours of the 31st May. Since than the river was falling steadily until it reached 252 m3/sec. about 3 o’clock in the afternoon and started than to rise as a result of the very hot weather and the fishing conditions at the season start at midnight were not bad, as although we had still a rather high water level of 1,70m at the Frøseth Gauge (335m3/sec. at the Gaulfoss) which was more or less constant for a while and than started to drop slowly. The water temperature has been 9 degrees and the water had a light colour (no clay) which was acceptable for a start into the season 2009.
Our expectations for a good start are already verified in the middle of the 1st day of the season! It was again our regular guest Johannes Kahrs who caught the first fish, as he did last year. Johannes, a well know painter from Berlin, is just taking a break from his work which is currently shown in the museum of Modern Art in San Francisco and in the Dallas Art Museum. The salmon took the fly at 4.15hrs on our Lower Gaula Beat E2 on the very top of the pool and just ran downstream, so Johannes had to follow the fish and could land the fish after a very hard battle 300m downstream at the border to our next Beat. The fish was carefully released.

Per Heikkilä from Sweden was able to land the 2nd fish on our Beats, he caught his first salmon of the season 2009 on our Beat E2 as well in the morning of the first of June about 8 o’clock. This salmon took a Black&Green tube fly and weighted in with 7,5kg (16.5lbs)

The third salmon and so far our largest fish was caught by our regular guest Karsten Kruhl at early noon on the first of June. His fish weighed 10,5 kg (23.2lbs). After a very hard fight he was able to land the salmon 300m downstreams in Beat E2, but the fish took the fly already in E1!! It seems that the salmon of the season 2009 are in very good condition, very strong and hard fighters. All three fish have been sea liced, bright silver - just beautiful as the June Gaula are…

On the morning of the 30st of May, local reports told that many salmon left the Gaulfossen Pool to run up into the middle reaches of the river, so we expect some fish from our beats around Stören and Rognes very shortly. But as the first fish went up already in the beginning of May, they should be spread definitely up until our Upper Beat by now. But no one of us has tried yet to fish for them...
Also other fishermen had some pulls during the first 2 sessions on our Beats in the middle reaches, so the salmon have definitely arrived on the Gaula! As the water is dropping at the moment we have big hopes that more taken salmon will follow during this great first day of the season 2009!
We will keep you updated!

Good early days on the NFC Beats! 03.06.2009 20:19
The fishing on our beats is still very good considering that the season has just started and that we are in a very early stage of the season. At the moment we have already 10 fish in our statistics, even it is just the morning of the 3rd of June!
The NFC’s Lower Gaula Beat is the most productive part of our beats at the moment. Sven Nedved was able to land a smaller salmon of 3,8kg (8.5lbs) and Karsten Kruhl caught his 2nd fish of the week which weighted in with 4,5 kg (10lbs), both fish have been caught in Beat E2.
Ole Martin Braathen from Oslo was able to land his first salmon on our beats, a nice sea liced salmon of 5,8kg (13lbs.) caught in Beat E2 as well.
Ken Sawada’s salmon weighing approx. 11 kg (24 lbs).
Ken Sawada has caught the biggest fish on our beats so far, a very beautiful salmon of approx. 11kg (24lbs, 107cm). He caught this fish on our Beat E3 on the 2nd of June and released the fish carefully.
During the evening of the 2nd of June our French guests Olivier Plasseraud and Bruno Berthot caught their first fishes on Beat E1. Olivier’s fish weighted in with 10,8kg (24lbs). Bruno released his first salmon and estimated the weight on approx. 4 kg (8.5lbs)

On the morning of the 3rd of June Karsten Kruhl caught already his 3rd salmon. He released the fish weighing approx. 4kg (8.5lbs) which took the fly in Beat E1 as well.
All fish have been taken so far came from our Lower Gaula Beat, but as the water level dropped now already to 90cm on the Frøseth Gauge ( 155 m3 at Gaulfoss) it just can be a couple of hours until the salmon, which must have passed Gaulfossen during the last night, arrive on our Beats around Støren and Rognes. Today we heard the rumors that a sea liced fish was caught in the Singsås area (not far from our Upper Gaula Beat). We just can say, we are looking very much forward to the days which are coming…
