One week until the season start on the Gaula and unfortunately, there is still no way for tourists to enter Norway. The regulations have been changed slightly, but travel for “touristic reasons” is still not possible. Norway has decided to continue this regulation probably until July 1st. Only people from Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and certain areas in Finland can get into the country from May 27th. for “touristic reasons”.
Big and silver, everyone is dreaming about such a fish for the start week.
However, nothing has been said about early entry with full vaccination, there could be earlier options here. The same applies to entering Norway if the incidence in your home country is below 25 per 100,000 within 14 days. If this number is reached, entry is also possible without any problems. Unfortunately, we are still a long way from this number in most countries.
The numbers from the research nets in the Trondheim Fjord are looking promising.
Now to the positive news: the research nets in the Trondheimfjord are looking promising at the moment. The catch numbers in the research nets last week were 52 large salmon and 17 medium-sized salmon. This is the third highest number in the past 9 years for medium-sized salmon and for large salmon it is even the second highest result (based on the same period).
The water level has also stabilized despite the high temperature of over 20 degrees and is currently between 350 and almost 500 m³ / second on the Gaulfossen. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of snow in the mountains, but this should continue to melt constantly at the predicted temperatures.
For those who can fish on the Gaula at the beginning of the season, the conditions are looking very promising.
We will keep you up to date here and will inform you as soon as we hear any news from Norway.
