Hi,
I will have the opporchancity to travel to a scientific conference in Trondheim between June 20-23, 2005 (i.e. next year). I hope to take advantage and stay for 1 week after this to fly fish for salmon.
Can I prevail on anyone with local knowledge of fly fishing for salmon in the area (Gaula, Orkla etc) to offer some advice.
Specifically, I would like to know:
1) Is accommodation in Trondheim with car hire the best option for daily access to local rivers ?
2) If not, is accommodation near the rivers a better alternative ?
3) Do you have an idea of accommodation costs for 1 week ?
4) What is the price of the fishing and where can I obtain a weekly license ?
5) Are there any other costs involved (national license etc) ?
6) Is late June a good time to fish / what are the likely river conditions ?
7) Any recommendation for the best local river for salmon fly fishing ?
8) Any advice on fly selection would be appreciated (large templedogs, variety of colours ?)
I am from Scotland and normally fish the full season (Feb-Oct) with a 15' spey double-hander using a variety of lines + flies.
Cheers,
Tom
