The Norwegian Salmon season startet june 1st and what a start.
In Mid Norway called Troendelag, the Rivers Orkla, Gaula and Stjoerdal opened with perfect water and weather conditions.
Personally undersigned were rigging my rod on the banks of Gaula. First I rigged a mid weight 14´ with a Rio windcutter and sink tip VI for Jacob age 13. Jacob started casting short casts along the bank while I rigged my own 15´. Just 15 minutes into the new season Jacob screeeeemed together with the reel and a strong fish was pulling line away.
35 minutes later we could land his ever first fly Salmon of no less than 28 lbs.
During the opening night all above three rivers had produced more than 150 fish each averaging 20 lbs.
The following days had great fishing with the largest average Salmon seen in 20 years. It'll be exiting to follow the season as 2001 so far was the best since countings startet 50 years ago.
In deed a positive sign for the Atlantic Salmon up this end.
Hears to Orry Vigfusson and his efforts to buy up commercial fishings in the North Atlantic.
Ohh, by the way, I had my own opening Salmon of 26 lbs.
