Gaula River 2022 - Finally Back Where It All Started
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2023
- Follow Jakob, Mikael and some of our best old fishing buddies back to the Norwegian Gaula, back to where what's now called the “Scandinavian Style” once was born. Tune in to Håkan, Roland and Jonas talking about their early guiding days, when catching salmon on a fly on the cold June river was something truly special.
The mighty Gaulfossen and GFF-water is where this reunion happened-while presenting the Gaula River to the next generation of salmon anglers. Overall tricky fishing with a lot of water, but also some dramatic runs that made the guys feel they're now getting too old for this “shit”!

What a great father. Sensitive, in tune, firm - passing down a legacy to Jacob.
Awesome to see Jonas and Rolle still working on the Gaulfossen and loving those magnificent fish. I miss to stay on the Reppefarm with Annie and Per. It always was my pleisure to be such welcome by all you fine people. In fact I met Rolle and Michael for a first time on Reppe about 30 years ago. Time passes by. Very nice movie! ❤
its great to see you fishing the old river with old friends. there are so many ghosts when you fish water from your past, the times in silence give you so much time to reflect
Wow. I used to go to Norway to the Glomma. Until i got interessed in spey casting (which already was replaced by skagit and scandi style fishing. I practiced at home a bit, so i sucked. The months before i had my vacation period, I watched every evening after work about water levels. About the Salmon counter and of course the catches. Many photos of giant salmon. My vacation was in September! So, i didnt caught anything,only one mini char as big as my tubefly! One other Norwegian guy rented the beat with me . He was clearly a "pro" caster. His very limited english vocubalare made it difficult to communicate. But he also didnt catch. We were late for the salmon run up the rivers he told me. The Gaula fish counter was his reference. Of course its even the most "zen" time spend in Norway. Being very expensive all together, the rent of a nearby basement with floor heating, all modern house hold devices. Tv etc.plus the mandatory fishing gear cleaning, the beat rent, and fish permit etc. But the last week , we decided to go to our usual river Glomma at Kvennan camping, were at least i caught many greyling and trout. It sucks when your free time is exactly when the Salmon run stopped when we were there.
Ita been 15 years ago now. But still i want so badly go to the Gaula at the maybe the second week after opening salmon season. Maybe next year. Its so unbelievable beautiful there. The smell of fresh air. The calming and exciting sounds of the river in between the mountains...No words describes what a great experience that is. Maybe because of my ancestors where Norwegian, but i always feel like coming home there. In Norway. Yes it can be because vacation time but all the other countries, on another continent even ,Does not give me this " being home finally" feel. Love Norway and Sweden which i've only been short day trips from our Kvennan little lodge as basecamp.
Mikael can't think of better way to spend a week with old friends and Jakob on the Magical Gaula...someday 😁🙏
Thank you, brings back memories.😘👍
Such a lovely film,most enjoyable Mikael all the very best to you your friends and family from the UK.God bless the silver bars.
Nice to see old friends still having fun . Thanks for sharing
Som alltid grymt fina fiskefilmer tack Mikael❤
You got it all❤
Is there anybody out ther😮
Alta länge sedan men i minnet❤
Awesome movie. GOD bless you Mikael, your family and your fishing buddies!!!
Another great video from a great bunch of guys! Tight lines gentlemen!
Wow that brings back memories for me too. Last time I fished there it was managed by Manfred Reguse. My friend hooked an enormous fish in the famous Bridge Pool and it ran down the Gauntlet and straightened the hook. Happy days.
I really enjoyed that Mikael, there's something great about getting back to one's roots and enjoying those "special' places that mean so much to us. Sharing this with old friends and family cannot be topped but as with all of those things, it's familiar, but never quite the same as before. I like this too because as salmon fishermen it makes us open minded. Fantastic discussions with your good old pals and great to see the next generation enjoying too. Just such a nice film.
Thanka Ian! We shall never forget where we come from...
I absolutely enjoyed the movie, Michael! Takk! 🙏
Great video used to fish with my father on the river Tay in the 70s I now fish with my son on the same river telling him how good Fishing used to be . Best sport in the world.
Very nice video Mikael. Your son seems to be a good angler - "chip off the old block" as we say. Best Phil
Old guys rule! 🙂
We'll fish Gaulfossen in a few weeks. No silver, but fun and exciting anyway.
well -there might be... fish run the Gaula all season! Tight lines to You!
nice video… good memories for me too on these pools
Lovely video, …really enjoyed it!
When I started fishing the Tay in the seventies if you put a fly rod up before the beginning of July the grilles thought you were a nutcase. It was all wooden devons.
Let's go FISKNING. I love it
Has the salmon fishing changed, as I understood that earlier the salmon generations came more divided, like big in June medium in July and grils in august, roughly?
I think its about the same... first grilse beginning of July or on an early year late June.
🎉🎉❤
Why not use a single barbless hook?
Retirement home going fishing 😂
