Greetings.
Has anyone on this list fished on the Gaula in Norway, if so would you be

so
kind as to pass on the names of any patterns that worked for you, I will

be
going there end June and would
like to try and tie some fly's to take with me.

regards,

Bob Mallet.



Have never fished it myself, but I know quite a few people who fish it
regularly. I was supposed to fish it twice, but never actually got there. I
discussed it a lot though! They practically all use Scandinavian type
tube flies for salmon, you can find some here;

10 cm long, orange or green Tubeflies (Temple Dogs)for June. Size 4 ...10
Treble flies such as Ally's Shrimp or Green Highlander for July and August.
The "Sunray shadow" is also popular.

For seatrout, single hook wet flies size 8 to 12 such as Mallard and
Claret, Butcher, or Zulu are always reliable it seems.

Here is some info on the Gaula itself;
