Fishing equipment

FISHING METHODS

Whip fly fishing is the most effective on the routes we offer.

FLY EQUIPMENT

The typical fly rod is a 9 footer for a 4/5 line, but a 10 footer is also very suitable, particularly for nymph fishing with thread. For those who want to try their hand at lake or streamer fishing, and also for larger trout, a 7-power tank rod will do the trick. In this case, use a reel with a plunging line or, better still, a “versi tip” line, i.e. with several interchangeable tips of different densities. For pike, you can also use a set of 8 to 10 gauge line.

Leaders should be long enough, 1.5 times the rod length, and end with 14/16 tips for dry fishing, sometimes 12 hundredths but very rarely 10. You can fish in 14 or even 16/18 hundredths for nymphing with line and reel!

In some parts of these rivers and on many lakes, it is also possible to fish for beautiful pike. In this case, a strong nylon such as 80/100 hundredths or a steel leader with a large streamer will do the trick.

THROWING EQUIPMENT

Light 5/10-gram casts with a 20/22-centimetre reel are ideal for most rivers. For lakes and large rivers, a more powerful rod capable of casting bubbles or rapalas with a 25/28-centimetre line is more suitable. This rod can also be used to fish for pike in lakes and downstream on rivers. Make sure you have a few steel leaders and staple swivels. Ball lures such as Cristal Laser yo Zuri and spinners and wobblers give good results.

THE FLIES

Dry

Large deer sedges such as the Elk Hair Caddis or the Goddard Caddis, mounted on 12 and 10 hooks are excellent for evening shots and in 14/16 during the day.

Duck asses in shades ranging from green to brown via black and yellow and in sizes from 12 to 20 are excellent during the day depending on the hatch. Big flies that float well like parachutes are often caught without a second thought in currents. Classics such as hare’s ears, CDCs and a few chironomid imitations in black, olive and brown also give good results on small streams and lakes.

In nymphs

The big gold helmets pheasant tail and ears of hare in number 12 are well accepted in the currents. Less weighted nymfes are interesting for prospecting the edges and on the big smooths as well as some olive and brown gammares. As a general rule, a small assortment of gold helmets from 2 to 4.5mm will allow you to fish everywhere. A few casters and double balls will complete your outfit and allow you to fish the most powerful currents.

Drowning and streamer

The flies are quite full and the olive, beige and black colours are excellent. On the lake, which is 5 minutes from the farm, adult and emerging sedge imitations are well suited. Black, white and orange rabbit streamers are of interest to large fario! For pike, 4/0 or 6/0 tandem flies and large pink, orange, green and white streamers are excellent. For the more sporty, a few large 4/0 poppers for tropical sea fishing can give you some incredible surface attacks!

THE CLOTHES

It’s advisable to pack a good wading jacket to keep out the rain, as well as warm clothing such as fleece, a hat and gloves – in short, the usual outfit for Nordic countries, where the climate can change, even in summer. After all, it can be very sunny and very cold in the same day!

Neoprene waders are not essential, so opt instead for breathable fishing trousers and fleece underwear, which are more comfortable to wear and make walking easier. When it comes to wading boots, felt soles with studs work best on all types of terrain. Don’t forget to pack a good pair of polarised sunglasses and a cap. A good mosquito spray is essential. And if you really fear these insects, a mosquito net placed over your cap will protect you completely. Products such as 5 sur 5 or insect screen will protect you,

Alternatively, we sell a very effective local product based on essential oils.

SEASON AND CLIMATE

Depending on the year and snow conditions, fishing starts around mid-June and remains good until early October, particularly for dry grayling. July/August and September are the best months to fish for the three main species: grayling, trout and pike.

FISH AND TECHNIQUES

Fishing is done on foot, mainly with dry flies, although nymphing with a line also gives good results. Sight nymphing is possible on sunny days in certain well-defined areas. Every day you will have the opportunity to catch grayling over 45 cm and trophies over 50 cm are nothing exceptional here.

The fastest parts of the river are home to large fario up to over 5 kg, which can be caught with a streamer. The secondary and calmer stretches of the river are good spots for pike, and we saw some over 85 cm lying on the bottom after swallowing a grayling. In particular, there is a very good pike lake with fish over a metre long just a 5-minute walk from your accommodation.

fishing zone

We invite you to discover the beautiful Glomma region of Norway. This river is one of the best in Europe for grayling fishing. You will be welcomed by a French couple who live there all year round and who will take care of everything on the spot.

You’ll be accompanied each day on different courses by Jean-Philippe, while Stéphanie will treat you to her little dishes blending French gastronomy with local Norwegian produce.

During our exploration of the area, we caught many large grayling, as well as some nice pike and a few trout. The fishing opportunities are great and in a week you’ll be far from seeing it all!

The river you’ll mainly be fishing is over a hundred metres wide but often splits into numerous branches 40 metres wide to a small dozen or so which makes fly fishing easy and effective.

Other rivers in the region are well worth a visit and Jean-Philippe will also introduce you to some very interesting lakes for trout or pike.

route

In the event of an established risk or unfavourable weather conditions, we give ourselves the power to take various actions, such as increasing the number of guides on accompanied tours, adjusting the itineraries of our tours, or even temporarily suspending a tour or holiday if we consider that the degree of risk is unacceptable.

Our primary commitment remains your safety and complete satisfaction.
