We have tried to simplify the river guide to include our new water and the new NFC lodge as the central orientation point. The maps are ordered from farthest downriver (E beats) to the highest upriver (Bogen Søndre). There are distance markers on each beat map to orient oneself in regard to Støren, the NFC lodge, as well as the other beats. This guide is based off of an average Gaula mid-summer water level, neither high nor low level. This is to try to give the most universal view- and one can easily judge where the river will rise or drop. There are also overview maps in the beginning of the guide to help orient oneself in the local geography and to understand where one beat lies in relation to another. This guide is a work in progress and it will continue to develop over the coming seasons as we work to integrate new water and make changes to improve its usability. Any suggestions, comments or questions are greatly appreciated. T i g h t L i n e s!

Located in Kvål, our E- beats are the farthest downriver (Northern most). Following the high tide in the Trondheim fjord, it normally takes 4-6 hours until the first fresh fish are running through these beats. They fish well from the season’s start, and although the water can at times have reduced visibility, the fishing is normally great during the early season. Important! Make sure not to wade too deeply, as fish can hold quite close to the bank, and to fish ones drift all the way to the bank, as fish can take in shallow water.E1a: E1a is the Island above Beat E1. E1a was one of the top Beats in 2016. The top part is the most interesting part. You cross the channel at the top of E1, and walk to the top of the island and fish from where the black plastic pipe on the opposite bank comes out (upper border of the Beat). From there you fish that short tail out water down to the neck of the pool. We prefer fishing it with a medium sinking line or a heavy sink tip to get the fly down to the right depth. The water below the rapids, after the neck is quite interesting as well. There is a point across from the old wooden outhouse on the opposite bank, where fish seem to stage up, and are more willing to take. In low water the whole stretch is good for running fish and fishes quite well throughout its entirety.E1: Starting just below the Island (E1a), fish a bit shallower at the top of the pool to avoid hang-ups, and deeper as one progresses downriver. The main hotspot is near the power lines that cross the lower section. E2: From just below the power lines (E1), all the way downriver to the rapids above E3. E2 is varied with rocks/structure towards the head of the pool as well as towards the tail. Fish often hold at the structure towards the head of E2, as well as the “V” towards the border of E3. Make sure to fish deep enough to touch bottom towards the end of ones drift.E3: Start at the rapids at the head of the pool. Here one should fish quite deep- as the current is rather slow, one can cast square (90 degrees across the river) and mend upriver to get the fly down. Fish the beat all the way until one reaches the border sign on the opposite riverbank (visible on the opposite/high bank). E4 & E5: Both fish best in medium to low water. Fished from a rock bank (gravel in low water), where left spey casts are most effective. This can be quite a good late season spot.

Just upstream of our existing E-beats (E1 to E5) we have added 3 new interesting beats! They are located just upstream of the bridge in Kvål, making them nearly adjacent to the existing E-beats. These beats are new to us since season 2016, with an additional beat from 2017. It seems like E7 is a great holding pool, one of the few in that area of the river and fishes well throughout the whole season, with E7a being an extension of this beat, below the side channel. E6 is a running pool like E1 and E2 but has great lie on the bottom end. E6: (from the left bank). The beat starts at the border sign, either on our bank or a marker on the other side of the river. In high water the middle part of the beat fishes well, as there is a “neck“ into Beat E7. This is a great resting spot, as there is a deep hole just above it where fish will rest. The upper part is a running pool. You will need to wade out to the “island” and fish from there. If the Gaulfossen is running more than 300 kbm, the fish run up the channel between the Island and the main bank. Fish a short line in that channel, as we caught a couple of nice fish there this past season! E7: (from the right bank) starts at the border sign (a post or marker) on the bank, otherwise you see the border where the rapids flow in the pool (white water at the head of the pool). During high water one needs to cross a side channel to get onto the gravel bank. The beat will fish well from the corner where the water flows into the pool (border sign on the bank) all the way down to the lower border, which is 30-40 meters above the bridge. In high water fish will lie very close to the bank, so deep wading is not necessary. As the water drops, one should try to fish close to the other bank. Try to get a good swing to speed up the fly. In low water fish the high (left) bank, as it fishes quite well and we caught fish there with sinking lines last season! E7a: is new for 2017. We will primarily fish it from the right bank (same way as E7). The upper border is the lower border of E7, and where the gravel bar channel comes out. Similar to E7, yet a bit shallower, fish lighter lines as it’s the tail out of the pool and you can keep fishing under the bridge all the way to the lower border (red marker). The fish seem to stop there and show just after they have passed under the bridge and it should be great spot to hook a fish. One can also fish it from the high (left) bank which should be great in low water, but as it’s a new beat we have yet to find out and get to know the water. Any comments are welcome!Note: on top of E6 we have an opposition on the right bank. They will most likely be other fishermen at times. Please try to fish in harmony with them, as we are all guests of the river landowners.

Lundamo is closer to the Gaulfossen rapids and is made up of two distinct sections. The top is a deep channel, running close to our bank, the lower section widens out and is strewn with large rocks. In the upper section, cover the channel with sinking lines. In the lower section, longer casts are needed to cover the middle of the river, and the holding lies around the rock structures. Important! Make sure to stop fishing above the lower border sign (red rock on the river bank/white sign in the forest). The upper part, when the fish run in the channel (more than 200kbm at Gaulfossen) it is really a great place to pick up some fish with short casts in the channel, either with medium sinking lines or Skagit with heavy tips. Be careful when wading, try to wade as little and be as silent as possible to make sure you do not spook the fish lying close to the bank.

L Beat: Lundamo (facing page)

A2/A1 & C2 Overview (p 12-14)A2: Svilla / Old Home Pool (from the right bank) fishes well in all water levels. Starting at Maela rock and fishing down to the border below, one can clearly see the deep channel. In high water fish hold close to the bank (A2 side), so avoid wading deeply. The current is quite fast, so make sure to mend upstream after each cast to slow the fly and let it sink deeper. A1: New Pool is a great high water pool, but in the past few years it seems to be fishing better also in lower levels than in the past. The pool is slow flowing, so heavy lines are not necessary. The main hot spot is around the power lines. We also have the opposite bank (left bank), which fishes well in lower levels as well, basically all the way through.C2: Tilseth Pool is one of NFC’s most productive pools with perfect fly water. Starting at the border at the top, fish can hold from the top of the channel on the far bank all the way to the slack water at the tail of the pool. The pool fishes from quite high levels to very low water, basically all the way through! Make sure to fish it all the way down as the lower part which holds fish from the early season, even in in the slack water when stripping the fly! One can also try from the steep right bank, but move carefully so as not to spook the fish!

B2: Renna Pool is located just above Tilseth, and directly below Langøy. Access is from the stairs below Laksebu cabins. Renna fishes well from high water levels to lower flows later in the season. Drop in just below the slack water below Langøy. In high water, fish can hold quite close to the bank, so try not to wade too deeply. As the levels drop, fish tend to congre-gate close to the opposite bank, and long casts are needed to reach the holding lies. The main hot spot is around the power lines; special attention should be given to that area.

B1: Langøy Pool is one of NFC’s best “big fish” pools. This pool fishes well in all levels, and holds many large fish throughout the season. Drop in a bit above the shelter, at the rapids at the head of the pool (be careful as the current can be quite strong). Again, as one makes their way into the belly of the pool, try to avoid wading too deeply, as fish can hold close to our bank. As the levels drop later in the season fish tend to congregate at a few different places: the head of the pool just below the rapids above; along the opposite rock bank; and just below the eddy below the hut on the opposite bank. This is a long beat that can be fished all the way down to the top border of Renna. Make sure to fish quickly, taking steps between each cast to cover all the water more than once with different techniques in any given rotation period.F1: Railway Pool is primarily a free-for-all beat, as it is quite a challenging beat to fish, but can produce well. Railway is just below Long Pool and is fished from the steep rock bank. One must be able to left-hand spey or underhand cast to cover the channel here. It fishes best from medium to lower levels (as in high water the current can flow too fast to effectively fish it). Caution! Railway is quite tricky wading and one is often climbing over rocks to fish it, proceed with caution!

C1: Long Pool is one of our most beautiful stretches of fly water that changes dramatically from year-to-year. Access to this pool requires a 5-10 minute walk (past Railway Pool) along the railroad tracks. Caution! Make sure to follow the marked trail and do not walk on the railroad tracks, as trains can approach quickly. This pool fishes best from medium to low water. Start fishing just below the rapids at the head of the pool. Because this pool is quite fast, sinking lines should be used and mended upstream to allow the fly to sink into the prime holding spots. The prime spot is where there is a break in the foliage on the opposite bank. Avoid deep wading as fish can hold quite close to shore.D2a: Junction Pool is one of our shortest yet most productive beats. It fishes best in medium to low water. Begin at the shallow rapids at the head of the pool to cover the narrow neck and gradually work ones way back to the bank, so as not to over-wade, and cover the belly of the pool. Make sure to stop fishing above the border sign.M1: Tysshølen/Lodge Pool fishes well from high levels down to low water. In higher levels, fish tend to hold close to the bank so avoid wading deep. In lower water, as the pool is quite slow flowing, try to fish carefully with smaller flies/floating lines to avoid spooking fish. One can fish below the hanging bridge, to the top of the “Granøyen” Island on the opposite bank.M2: Rønningen (Right Bank): From 2014 we have integrated the opposite bank from the Lodge, adding more double bank fishing to our rotation. Just across from the Lodge is a great high water pool, easily fished in higher levels. Rønningen, the top of the pool fishes well from medium to low water. It always holds some nice fish in the headwaters. A boat, close to the Lodge, is available for crossing the river to the M2 right bank.

G1: The new Beat G1 is called Granøyen Beat. The beat fishes well in all water levels and is double bank. In high to medium water levels you will be fishing only the right bank, start just above the Bridge and fish your way down to the lower border – the “hot spot” will be from the Gaupahuk(hut) down to the lower border. In low water the left bank gets interesting. It is a steep bank and wading can be challenging but it fishes well with a floating line with sink tips or similar from basically just below the Bridge to the bottom of the Beat.

D2c: Bua Bridge Pool is one of the top holding pools on the Gaula tributary, the Bua. Located approx. 3.5 km up the Bua river road (right off of Rt. 30), this pool is easily defined under the Bua Bridge. Begin fishing by descending to the pool above the bridge- there is a rope handle that aids in reaching the stone bank below. Start by fishing from above the bridge- lengthening casts as one’s fly swings below the bridge. Since this pool is quite small and wading below the bridge is sure to put the fish down, try to fish as carefully as possible and rest the water between passes through.

K: Bua River is a series of pocket water that stretches above the Bua Bridge. This is free-for-all water, and a good place for adventurous anglers to explore between passes through the Bua Bridge Pool. Starting at the road sign 800 m above the Bua Bridge, fish each “pocket” on the way back down to the bridge.

Bs2: Black Pool is another famous holding pool on the middle Gaula. Located at the Bogen Søndre farm, it is one of the first farms to have houses built for Englishmen coming to fish for salmon. Black pool is made up of an island at the head of the pool (which can be accessed by a boat found below the shelter) and then a deep holding pool that continues to gradually shallow out towards the tail of the pool above the Reppe Bridge below. One should fish the belly of the pool just below the island before crossing by boat to fish the far side channel- so as to avoid spooking the main pool. This pool fishes well in all water levels. Make sure to not wade too deeply so as to avoid spooking fish in high water. As the level drops, fish will tend to hold closer to the opposite bank and long casts are necessary to cover some of the prime lies. In medium to lower levels make sure to fish all the way to the tail of the pool, especially in the darker periods of the day, as salmon tend to move into these shallower areas (it can also be a good sea trout area as well!).

Bs1: Road Pool is one of NFC’s best pools in all water levels, and a lovely piece of fly water. This long beat stretches from below the Singsås Bridge to the flood glide just above the Bs2 Island (which marks the head of Bs2). This pool fishes well throughout the season, and can hold fish from very early on (days after fish have passed the Gaulfoss rapids). Starting from the rapids a bit above the hut, fish the head of the pool and gradually wade closer to our bank while trying to cover the far rock bank. The pool fishes well all the way down, and a good spot can be just below the power lines, and the lower section can fish well in darker periods when fish tend to move towards the shallow tail-out.

River Guidelines• 1 fish killed per day, after which fishing must stop until the next day (12:01am the following day).• 1 fish over 80cm can be killed in the entire season by each angler, 2 fish per week and 4 fish total throughout the season.• All female fish are protected from July 1st - August 31st, and must therefore be released (we would recommend to always release them).• Any poaching should be reported to NFC staff immediately.• Please respect border signs and do not fish outside of NFC borders.• Sea trout are protected throughout the season and must always be released!• If a fish that according to the rules should be released is bleeding and dying, it must be delivered to Gaula Natursenter immediately.

Catch & Release• NFC is proud to support a catch & release fishery and recommend our guests to release fish. If one so chooses to release the fish, here are a few tips to remember:• Once a fish is landed, keep it in the water (facing upstream) while removing the hook, measuring the fish, etc. We have landing nets with scales in the handles at all beats, which can be utilized by a fishing partner to help land/hold the fish.• Please photograph and measure/weigh all fish to be released.• Do not lift the salmon by its tail, and try to keep the salmon in the water as much as possible to help resuscitate the fish.• Keep fish upright in the water until they swim away unassisted, and smile because your released fish will continue to support a healthy Gaula salmon stock!

Fishing Schedule & Rotation Plan• The schedule is divided into 6-hour rotations, during which, 2 guests share each beat. • Please be respectful of the next group and exit the pool prior to the rotation switch.• It can be a good idea to let a pool rest for an hour or so after another group has finished their rotation. This can often be the difference between a take and a blank.• Respect fishermen from other beats (who fish in opposition to our beats) and do not drop-in below any other fishermen.• Do not litter and please bring waste back with you when you’re done fishing.• Firewood and lighter fluid can be found either in a river box or in the river hut at each beat, please feel free to light a fire to stay warm, make coffee or cook pølsers.• One may observe landowners fishing at any beat at any time with whatever type of tackle they choose. While this rarely happens, they have the right to do so. Please be respectful.

The NFC lodge is located just a few km upstream (East on Rt. 30) from Støren. Please feel free to stop by at anytime, as one of us is most often available there.Remember, Norway has a strict no tolerance rule for drinking and driving. Please do not take the chance- rather call one of us to arrange transportation for you.If you need assistance or have a question we can help you with,please feel free to contact us:
