Fishing reports
Anders & Birgitta Rydén,
Gävle Sweden, August 2007
Short travel report from our
fly fishing trip to Glomma river in Norway , extract from mail to friends.
My wife and I decided after a
very short discussion to go to Norway and the Glomma river for a few days
of fly fishing, a place we had never visited before. My wife is a true
beginner so we bought new waders for her and borrowed the rest of the gear
from our oldest son. We also bought a new tent to camp with just for the
fun of it.
When arriving to Kvennan camping, beautifully situated between Tolga and
Tynset we met Hein Van Aar, a gentleman from Holland who is the river
keeper and also the driving force behind the new fly fishing zone. The
recommendation was to use whatever fly we wanted as long as it was BLACK
and preferably small dry flies. He also recommended a stretch a few hundred meters above the camping, not
part of the fly fishing zone, but still a good
place for my wife to start with. Strongly recommend everyone to take
advise from Hein before fishing.
We started fishing in
the evening around seven PM, first trying a little bit below the
recommended stretch.
No luck at that spot so we walked to the recommended place a few hundred
meters further upwards. There was no activity on the surface but still we tried with black klinkhammers size 14 according to
Hein's
recommendation.
We continued fishing until darkness and we caught about 15 graylings
(approx 2 hours). We would probably have
caught more fish if we had walked further out in the river trying other
spots but I considered it was OK not to walk around
to much with a wife that was out wading for the first time.
The biggest fish we caught were about 45 cm, caught late at night just
below our tent in darkness on an E12 with black body. Just could not sleep while bigger fish were hunting on the surface just 3 meters away...
We fished two days in Glomma (Saturday 4/8, and Monday 5/8 2007) before
returning home, the rest of the time we checked out the surroundings and made trips to the Tolga and Tynset communities plus the Folla,
Unsetåa and Rena rivers.
We had a really pleasant stay at Kvennan camping, the surroundings are
very nice. Next year we will be back to explore the fly fishing zone!
Best Regards - Anders & Birgitta
