• ARTICLE: Interview with Stein Tore Larsen. Stein Tore Larsen is from Lillehammer, and in this city he is not alone in having fly fishing interest. For here it is a large number of people fishing with a fly rod, both for big trout in Gudbransdalslågen and very many fishes for salmon in Trøndelag rivers as well.

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.
