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;

http://www.fliegenfischer-forum.de/tuben1.html

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;

Yes I have, in 1998 I think. While I did not catch anything, nor did
4/5 of our group, our !#%%&/ guide (sort of) caught a salmon every
freaking day. I think he caught them all with the same type of fly,
called Gaula Green Butt. You can find the description of the pattern
here in Finnish

but I can also translate them to make things easier for you :-)

tag: oval silver
tail: fluorescent antron
body: black silk
ribbing: oval silver
throat: yellow underneath, black on top
wing: black fox

I've seen them tied in both tubes and traditional hooks.

Tight lines, and let us know how your trip turned out to be.
