I'm in need of some help. I'm thinking of a fishing trip with 2 friends to Norway. I'm planning to go the end of June 2008 to [url=http://www.dintur.no/default.asp?menuid=624&linktype=3&linkid=633&subin…], the area [url=http://www.dintur.no/default.asp?menuid=624&linktype=3&linkid=633&subin…]. Is there anyone who can give me some advice about the fishing over there, i can't find much on the inet over that area. If anyone has other/better options please tell me, got plenty of time left until we go :D
Thanks in advance.
(Fly)fishing Norway - Help needed
The forums are very quiet
The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF form is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Allright then, in 2 weeks i'm
Allright then, in 2 weeks i'm off with 2 friends to norway, not to the area mentioned above but the [url=www.plahte.no]Plahte Estate[/url]. Since I've never been this far up north in Norway i don't know what to expect. I was hoping if anyone can give me some advice on flies, especially the right sizes. Here in Holland i fish mostly with small sizes (16-20) but this seems a little small to me for Norway. Any other tips are highly appreciated, i haven't got much experience with fishing in moving water.
Thanks in advance and best regards,

Hi,
Hi,
Iââ¬â¢m going to Trysil, Norway this summer to fish in the Trysil river, asked for advise on this forum, and was given this link: http://www.fluefiskesiden.no/. Hope it will give you some help. Seems we are going to fish mostly dry flies, after advise from a guide I have made arrangements with in Trysil. Elkhair caddis and Europa 12 should be some fine flies.. Size 10-16.
Safe journey
Peter
