• NEW ARTICLE: Interview with Anita Knudsen. There are not many female fly fishers in the country. Over the years I've been doing my course, I have met a few, and everyone's talking about the same. That's a shame there are not more women who fish with a fly rod. It may actually seem a bit "scary" that is so dominated by men, in quest for more knowledge to learn more about this wonderful hobby.

• ARTICLE: Interview with Terje Vågsdal. This time it is Terje Vågsdal that will tell us about his favorite flies, Terje is a guy I've had the pleasure of knowing for many years. He worked long as a salesman in the Guideline, so we worked closely together and had a lot of fun to work with a little teasing of each other's catches and fishing theories, but also very exciting to test the equipment and talk fishing basically all the time. Christmas parties were never boring, maybe some little dancing, but as I said absolutely not boring. Read more... 11.11.11

After this I will again write about various things, articles to come in the near future, starting from September, are: The flies of the 2008 season. Fishing beats on the river Gaula; I will provide some advice on a few beats on the Gaula. The Scandinavian style “modern double handed casting technique”, here I will give a detailed description on how you load a double-handed rod in the most effective way.

Hi again.
I apologise for this being a quiet period in terms of new articles from me, but I am sitting here putting the DVD together and this is taking up all my time at the moment. I will be writing more new articles towards the new year, however the next year’s course information will be posted on my website in December. I can now tell you that for the 2008 season the Haltdalen course will be during week 32, starting Sunday the 3rd of August.
Articles to come: The “Gaula fly” fly tying competition with interview. Shooting heads and the adaptation of these. And several other articles throughout the spring. Jan Erik.

The various rivers.
Several things affect the fishing from one river to another. “My river” (the River Gaula) is not regulated, which means that periodically this river can become small enough to be classified as a small salmon river. Other rivers, such as the River Orkla, are regulated, thus a certain water level is always ensured, also during drought periods. Several factors can affect the running pattern of salmon from river to river, some rivers are so-called “late rivers”, whereas other rivers are “early”, with regards to when salmon run the river. As I write in my articles, local knowledge is always an important element in order to succeed in different conditions. However, when the salmon are running the river, their behaviour will be the same for the various conditions. Besides this, fishing methods might differ from river to river, influenced by the character of the river. My articles are written according to my best knowledge, these represent my own opinions and to all you highly skilled salmon fishermen and women around; this is not meant to undermine your own experiences.
