Gaula River Norway
New Hosted Trip 2020
13th - 20th June - We will host a really interesting split trip, fishing both the Nedre Kasen beat and the Fishmaster beat on the River Gaula.
We will fish 3.5 days on one [Saturday 4pm until Tuesday 12pm] on one before swapping with the group on the other beat.
Fishing begins at 4pm on Saturday 13th finishing at 10am on Saturday 20th June.
We will provide transport from the airport for this trip so saving the price of expensive car hire. The trip will be self-catering but I will be preparing meals at Nedre Kasen. At the other beat, Fishmaster, it will be self-catering so you will have your own meals to prepare. However, there are restaurants around 2km away in the town of Storen. There are also very good supermarkets and bakery's
This trip offers a big variation in pools both above and below the Gaulfoss. This is important at this time as the Gaulfoss is a natural temperature barrier for salmon running the Gaula. In June 2019, fish normally caught in the lower pools below the Foss, passed through the waterfall and into the upper river. This is why we are splitting the week. One beat is below, whilst the majority of pools in the other, are above the Gaulfoss. This makes for a unique trip.
It will be hosted by two members of my team, one will stay at Kasen whilst the other will look after guests upstream. Rods will be picked up and dropped at the airport and taken to the house. You will also be dropped at their fishing pools and have either one of us showing you the pools. Pools on the upper beat are small and typically Norwegian in that they are a little crowded, whilst Kasen is a 6-rod beat I fish with only 4.
Why June and why the split week?
June on the Gaula is all about big fresh salmon. If it's your goal to catch one of those fish, don't mind -
-
Self-catering for half the week
-
Fishing hard with sinking lines in high water.
-
Taking a chance on my cooking!
-
Having a cast with a spinning rod [Nedre Kasen] in a couple of difficult/deep, but very fishy places.
-
The chance of being hauled downstream by a huge fish.
-
Having a little help with your casting and fishing techniques.
Then this will be the trip for you!

We have 4 places available on each of those trips. It would very much lend itself to a group of friends.

Hosted Salmon Fishing with Ian Gordon
For our hosted trips we find the Aunan beat of the Orkla river more suitable as the beat and lodge is more suited to our size of group which include 4 full time guides. Plus the return rate of previous guests is much higher, something which speaks volumes about this wonderful lodge. Click here to visit Aunan Lodge
We are actively talking with other beats on the Gaula, the idea of which is to find a lodge suitable for our size of group and offering a package of fishing both Gaula and Orkla. We have some good ideas in the pipeline so - Watch this space.
