Gaula Flyfishing - Rotation. The guests are fishing our beautiful, private Gaula Flyfishing beats situated middle Gaula, downstream from Stören and 30-40 km from the Atlantic Ocean. Altogether approx 3,1/4,1 km of East bank and 1,6 km of West bank of the famous Gaula river. There will be 16-28 fly fishermen at the same time on these beats. The guests are divided in groups of max 4 persons each. Every group of 4 persons have their own beat at a time and the beats are rotated between fishing groups every six hours. The stretches of river are divided in 8 fly fishing beats. Beat 1: Rostad and Sanden pools. Beat 2: Bruahölen, Svingen and Rönningen pools. Beat 3: Gyllteigen and Gyllsaga pools. Beat 4: Stasjonshölen pool. Beat 5: Röskaft Söndre Vest pool. Beat 6: Röskaft Söndre beat (available for weeks 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35). Beat 7: Evjen beat.

If fisherman kills a salmon, he must stop fishing until midnight. All seatrout must be released.
