Gaula water level report of 13 May.

Busy days at work must take the blame for this report came somewhat later than first planned.
Therefore I have no pictures of the river this time, I simply have not had time to take a trip up the valley during this period. But in today's computer world, you need not see the river in order to observe the changes. It does one of NVE's website.

Much has happened to the river since I wrote the last report 30 April. There has been an exciting development in the spring snowmelt in relation to the fishing above the falls, too. As I wrote then held the river over 180 cubic meters during the first days of May and the 3rd May the river began to come down in a thrilling water considering that the salmon could get up Gaulfossen. And in my experience it's salmon in the fall during this period, these had gathered there, because they could not go up when the water level from 17 April was above the limit of 180 cubic meters.

4. May the river dropped below 180 cubic meters, and it sank and was still as low as 120 cubic meters at the lowest on the 7th May. This means that the water level was lower than 180 cubic meters in 3 days. This means that the salmon had a good chance to reach the waterfall, but as previously written, this is dependent on water temperature as well. Personally I think it took a trip further up in these 3 days, but it will show up eventually. The salmon that eventually went up will probably be located further up the valley than the stretch Hovind - Rognes at the start of the season, but this is of course dependent on how big the river is going to be in this period. It was the largest on the 10th May, the 720 cc, and such a high water will naturally ensure that the salmon have to take it a little quieter on its way up the valley.

We have had very hot days in this region in recent days so the river is quite large, and it has been over 180 cubic meters since 7 May. So in recent days, there are no salmon that have migrated up the waterfall. I've talked to fishermen who have seen the salmon on the rise in several places, including on Melhus. So it mostly seems to be normal, but he who lives will see.

Looking forward to following developments in the last days of May, it is only then one can see what will happen to the fish above the falls and the nearest areas where relative to the start of the season. For this fishing can commence as early as possible after 1 June is very dependent on water level. It's actually a benefit to everyone that this fishery is going early, this will reduce pressure on fishing from Gaulfossen down to the sea. I know that those who fish in this area do not agree with me in this, since it is a big advantage that the water level is above 180 cc. If the river is greater than 180 cubic meters on 20 May to the 10th June, the salmon will stop in the lower areas of the river and up to Gaulfossen, and this always produces very good fishing in June. Because in this period is much salmon that rises from the sea.

But if you look a little more on it in relation to everyone's interests, not least for the benefit of Gaula, there is a benefit to the river - that you get started as early as possible above Gaulfossen.

Hope I do not offend anyone by writing this. I will add this comment to say that I fish below Gaulfossen in June too, and I fish mostly on the Nedre Løberg salmon beat.

Wish you all the Gaula fishermen a good season, stay tuned - the next water level report comes in about 1 week.

Jan Erik.
