- Half season gone

Still the big salmons are restraining the river, the small and medium weight ones are yet not shown in quantities as usual. The river Orkla have once again shown its reputation as the big salmons river. Typical inside this first half season, is that those big ones are very quietly moving upstream, and therefore become very challenging for the fishing spirit.
Comparison season 2006 and 2007 untill today for the weight classes shows clearly whats missing:
2006/2007 - 1- 3 kg: 22/0 3-7 kg: 30/8 7 kg - up: 8/18
Hopefully the smaller salmons arrives very soon! Average weight at the Lodge are all time high with 17,9 Pound (8,13 kg)
