The fishing zones
In Norway the
landowners also have the disposal of the fishing-rights. In this area the
landowners united in the Tolga-Tynset Elveeierlag (river board) to
distribute fishing licenses and to ensure good fish stock
management. We divided the total river stretch into four fishing zones :
the Tolga zone, the Eidsfossen (Eids waterfall) zone, the Kvennan Fly
Fishing zone and the Tynset zone. The borders of these zones are well
marked by big signs standing along the river bank The total length of the
Tolga-Tynset stretch is 39 km and the river falls 63 m in altitude.
The Tolga
zone
This zone starts at the old bridge of Tolga, and ends at the Eids
waterfall. It is about 7 km long, and at most places the current is fast
to very fast. It is difficult to wade because of the strong current and
the big stones at the river bed. There are a few places with deeper
channels, and a bit slower current. These are the places to fish for
grayling. You can expect to find trout everywhere, and quite a few
Norwegian fisherman favour this river stretch for it's nice trout fishing.
The fall in this river zone is ca 35 m, and at most places Glomma is about
90 m wide. The average depth is about 1 meter, don't try to cross the
river, you will be swimming !
The
Eidsfossen zone
Beginning at the Eids waterfall and ending 1 km downstream of Kvennan
Camping, this stretch is about 4 km long. Near the waterfall there are
some very deep holes in the river bed, and many interesting eddies and
hiding places for big trout. Every year some big trout up to 4 kg are
taken, and the biggest grayling I've heard of also comes from this zone
(67 cm, 3 kg).
The area best suited for grayling fly fishing starts about 1 km upstream
of Kvennan
Camping, where the current slows down from fast to medium fast. Just in
front of the campsite, near the isles, you can expect to have great fly
fishing during the whole season. In the lower section of this zone the
river is max. 120 m wide, and in total she falls 17 m. The average depth
varies from 0,5 meter to 1,5 meter. It is possible to cross the river just
downstream the isles at Kvennan Camping, if you are careful. You will need
a wading staff.
The Fly
Fishing zone
The Kvennan Fly Fishing zone starts where the power lines cross the river,
1 km downstream of Kvennan Camping. It ends 9 km downstream. There are
several groups of isles in this zone, all of them provide great
opportunities for fly fishing. The speed of the current is at most places
quite low resulting in good circumstances for dry fly fishing, but there
are also many sections with faster current. The river falls 10 meters, and
can be up to 160 meters wide. The gravel bottom makes wading easy. The
depth ranges from 0,5 m to about 5 meter in a deep hole close to Aakerøien Camping,
and if you go from isle to isle it is possible to cross the river at a few
places. A wading staff might be very useful, I never go fishing without
it.
The Tynset
zone
Where the FF zone ends, the Tynset zone begins. It ends
between Tynset and Alvdal, at Auma bridge. At most places the current
is very slow and the river looks more like a lake. The river bed is sandy,
and there is an abundance of aquatic vegetation. Averaging the river is 90
meters wide, and by far to deep to cross. She falls only 1 meter, and the
zone is 19 km long. You can also fish river Tunna, a
side river that enters Glomma just west of Tynset.
