Patterns for glomma region

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF form is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Patterns

Hi all,

I'm heading to Norway to the area of Koppang in the first week of June. I'm planning to do a lot of fishing in the Glomma and surrounding lakes and rivers. I have found a lot of (standard) patterns recommended for this area like the adams, klinkhamer, red tag and a variety of nymps on the internet but i was wondering if anyone knows other good (local) patterns preferably with step by step tying instructions, i just started tying my own flies and i'm still very low skiled :oops:
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

the patterns you mention are all in the ballpark. It is about finding the right spots too. The trout can be quite difficult.

Maybe you want to contact Tore @ http://www.fishfinders.no/

Cheers,
Thomas

Thomas,
Thanks for your quick reply, the url you mentioned looks very good, the only problem is that it's in complete norwegian (wich i cant read nor speak :(). I recon that the man you mentioned (Tore) is a fishing guide, can you tell me the pricerange for hiring a guide for a day (or 2)?

Thanks in advance!

I got to know Tore as a very down to earth person and true fisherman. To read the page you could try google translate. It works ok, and sometimes is very very funny on top. ;-)

Tore speaks english, so communication is no issue.

Thanks for all the effort Thomas, didn't know google translate works that well. It's very close to real english and indeed, sometimes very funny :D
I will contact Tore, thanks for all the info. If anyone has any idea's regarding my original question (patterns) please feel free to share :)

Greetings,
Ruza

no problem ...

regards patterns - the desticnt special / different pattern I have seen - which is a bit of a local secret, sshhhhhh 8) - is a variation of the swedish superpuppa. They put a bunch of deer hair as underbody and tier them very slim.

Let me know when you come over so we can get together for a fish.

Thomas,
That sounds like a great idea, sharing a day of fishing together. Me and my fishing buddy will be there from 4 June till 12 June, we're planning to fish for pike in the area around Oslo the first days before heading to Koppang. We'll keep in touch!

Cheers.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
