Week 29, 17.07. - 24.07.2021
Even now the water level on the Orkla is at the minimum.
Nevertheless, a lot of fresh salmon are coming.
The Fishing is very good. Light tackle and floating lines works
perfect.
Andy, our very experienced guest from Bavaria had his „best ever“
salmonweek….. 7 fish in 6 day‘s … and some lost salmon.
This week we also had an Orkla salmon school.
All 4 participants were successful and everyone was able to land
their first atlantic salmon.
Well done guy‘s !
We still have free rods for our fishing in some of the best weeks of

Week 31, 31.07. - 07.08.2021
After brief but heavy rainfall at the weekend, the orkla returned
to normal water levels and the Gaula was also reopened for
fishing.
By the end of this week, however, the water level was low again.
No reason that the Orklasalmon cannot enter the river :-).
Many of the salmon caught on the river were newcomers. The
counting station on the dam in Bjorset (near Meldal) reported an
excellent salmon rise of all sizes.Jumping fish can be seen in all
Orkla pools.
Unfortunately because we have very few guests on our beats this
week, the statistics do not look as good as the fishing actually is.
We had a short 3 days visit from a young man who wanted to
fish for Atlantic salmon for the first time.
All he wanted was a three hour guiding from us. A big risk for a
beginner!
At the end of the first day he was able to land his first salmon,
instructed and guided by my deputy Björn .
You both did a great job……..it can‘t be bether !
We still have free rods for our fishing in week 32, 34 and 35.

Week 32, 07.08. - 14.08.2021
Unfortunately not a good start to the new week for two of our
new guests.
Almost all of their luggage did not arrive at the airport with them.
However, our lodge are prepared for such emergencies.
Until the guests' luggage arrives, we can help out with equipment
so that the anglers can go fishing despite the lack of luggage.
We have a normal August water level of approx. 25 m3 on the
Orkla again.
Unfortunately, the Gaula was again closed to fishing due to the
very low water level.Unfortunately, as before, we have very few
guests who fish with us. The conditions on the orkla are still
excellent to fish successfully for atlantic salmon. Let's see what
this week will bring.
Week 33, 14.08. - 21.08.2021
At the beginning of the new week we had a water level of about
250 m3. The normal water level would be between 40 and 60 m3
It was not easy to fish the stretches accordingly. Sinking lines
and large flies were perhaps the right choice under these
conditions.
Not the best start for our 2 beginners despite the difficult
conditions, Thomas was able to land his first salmon and both
beginners had contacts but unfortunately couldn't land any more
salmon during the week.
The more experienced fishermen were able to land some of the
hooked fish. The biggest fish this week was 7.30 kg.
