The Gaula River is located in the southern part of Central Norway - the region to the north, east, and south and west of the city of Trondheim, which celebrated its millennium in 1997. During its early years it was The Viking capital of Scandinavia. The area is often claimed to be the ‘heart of Norway’.

Storstuu Winsnes

Storstuu Winsnes has a long history in hosting salmon fishers. Anglers here have regularly had one or more of the "top ten" salmons (18 kg+ or more than 40 pounds) on the Gaula River. Storstuu Winsnes has also been among the "top ten" in total amount of salmon caught.

Fly Fishing at Winsnes Lodge

The Winsnes Fly Fishing Lodge is one of the landowners of Malum/Winsnes/GFF fishing beats. Malum/Winsnes governs beats of 2.5 km on the "road side and 2 km on the railway side of the river included are the famous pools Kjellfloa, Oksøyhølen and one of Gaula's very best pools the Kroken. The GFF has another 4.5 km giving a total of 10 pools for 16 rods. The pools are long (750 metre on average).

A fishing rotation system divides sixteen anglers into eight groups of two. Anglers fishing in pairs fish a new pool every six hours until having covered all ten pools the rotation begins afresh. Fishing is possible on a 24 hour basis in high summer and with four pools to fish every day, anglers can choose to fish for as long as they like. One of your guides will be fishing celebrity Matt Hayes.

The Gaula is well known for its big salmon. Throughout the season there is always the chance to catch the big one and the biggest salmon start their run in early June. Every year there are a number of fish caught that weigh between 18 and 20 kilograms (40–45 lb).
