Gjerfloen Fly fishing in Trysil, the first in Norway with its own fly zone and bag limit fishing for grayling. Mostly for fly fishing enthusiasts who want to fish for trout, grayling and whitefish with nymphs and dry flies. Rental cabins, guide, trout fishing, ice fishing and catch reports.
About the fly zone
Like a sparkling string of pearls, the Trysil River (Klara) winds its way through Trysil's mountain and forest areas in the border areas with Sweden. As a result of its proximity to the source areas and rich limestone areas, the river has excellent water quality and fine populations of native trout and grayling. In the quiet sections, you can also find coarse whitefish and pike. Fishing is well organized and easily accessible.
Considering the wishes and needs of the fishermen, the new operational plan for the watercourse outlines possibilities for zoning and differentiation of the fishing offers. As a consequence of this, Gjerfloen Fly Fishing was initiated.
Location
At Plassen, 10 km from the Swedish border, Gjerfloen Fly Fishing has, since the year 2000, reserved 7 km of shoreline of the Trysilelva for those who have come to the realization that 3 important elements in life are: grayling, nymphs and dry flies.
Description of the river stretch
Quiet sections interrupted by waterfalls and rapids. Most of the shoreline is wadable at normal summer water levels. The width of the river varies from 50 to 80 meters. Footpaths have been cleared on land. Along the beach, the aim is to preserve as much of the wilderness feel as possible.
Fly-fishing season
From the beginning of June to the end of October. Many consider midsummer and September to be the best time for grayling fishing. Anyway, - weather and water level are probably the most decisive factors for when the big grayling bite occurs, and it can happen at any time throughout the summer. Trial fishing in 1999 showed that 1 in 10 grayling was over 35 cm. In 2012, 1 in 3 grayling was over 35 cm. Tagging experiments have shown that grayling in this area grow slowly (a 40 cm grayling is at least 10 years old) and are very stationary
As with all fishing, you have to be in the right place at the right time!
