BFD Flyfishing arranges fishing weeks at
Almås beat in river Gaula, Norway, 2012

 

As of season 2012 BFD Flyfishing offers salmon fishing on Almås beat.

  Mr Michael Nyberg, who is one of the men behind BFD Flyfishing gives his views on the beat and salmon fishing in general in river Gaula. - We at BFD Flyfishing has fished this stretch many years earlier when it was a day permit beat and knows what it delivers. We are extremely pleased to now be able to offer an exclusive, good fishing to one of the best rates Gaula currently offers. In recent years there has been an extreme increase in prices of all fishing in Gaula and it has unfortunately come to such levels that the "ordinary man" soon not afford to go fishing in Gaula at all.

  We at BFD Flyfishing has a saying, "by fishermen for fishermen". As we like to fish for our self this is a way for us to guarantee our own fishing on a beat that we know deliver but of course at the same time we must raise money to bring in gross margin for the lease. For this reason we have chosen to put us at a price that is very attractive mainly for the Norwegian and Swedish fishermen who over the years seen their old beats become untenable expensive. We also have some inquiries from Germany, England and Denmark.

  Our vision is to create a fishing beat that with our service, accommodation and nature experiences are an important piece that we as fishermen ourselves value during a fishing week in with our friends.

  The beat also includes an excellent accommodation in a fully-equipped Norwegian cabin with plenty of room, large sun deck, shower room, etc. We will also offer the sale of some materials such as flies, tippet material, hooks, etc. for our guests.

  We have got approved to handle the decinfection of equipment on site, all to give 100% service to our guests.

The Fish & The Fly 3. Terrestrials
Movie by Niels Vestergaard

This is dry fly fishing at its best.

Terrestrials are land based insects - grasshoppers, beetles, Daddy Long Legs etc. Imitations of these insects are natural additions to any flybox and Morten Oeland shows why. We join him as he uses his fantastic imitations on a number of fishingtrips in Denmark, Greenland, Germany, New Zealand and Swedish Lapland.

We follow him as he chooses his fly, tactic and fishing technique in every situation. The film is packed with fact and information about fishing the terrestrial.

Morten is a skilled and experienced flytier. The second movie on the DVD is about the tying of the imitations he uses. He shows step by step how he ties his original, simple and highly innovative flies.

This is an instructive movie, which is also full of great moments and exciting fishing situations. Morten catches lots of beautiful fish in amazing surrouding. A film of the same high standards as the previous movies in this series

Two movies in one package. First 50 minutes of fly fishing and then 53 minutes of fly tying. Movie available on both English, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and German.

           The J:sonSystem
 

The J:sonSystem is a new and easier way to tie realistic fishing flies. Flies tied with the J:sonSystem attract otherwise elusive fish by imitating the appearance, silhouettes and footprints of real insects.

A J:son fly is extremely durable, withstanding most trout attacks. Tied correctly, a J:son fly meant for fishing on or in the surface film, is basically unsinkable. If the line draws the fly under the surface because of current, it will pop up again with undiminished capabilities–just as soon as the water has released its “grip” on the line.

These are the main categories of J:son realistic fishing flies:

  • Mayflies
  • Stoneflies
  • Caddis flies
  • Midges
  • Other aquatic insects
  • Terrestrials

Each main category covers every stage of an insect’s life span.
