Excellent season on Straumar
Grilse for dinner. Photo gg.
The fishing on the junction beat Straumar was excellent this season, all in all 422 salmon were landed plus just over a hundred sea trout. All this on two rods. By the middle of June only one salmon had been recorded and the fishing is over at the end of August, so when the fishing did pick up, it was nothing less than excellent, 211 salmon over ca 70 days per rod, just over three per rod per day, plus the added bonus of lively sea trout.
Straumar is predominantly a grilse fishery as the mws don’t seem as keen on stopping in the junction as do the grilse. No matter, every salmon caught in Straumar is fresh from the sea and they have a lot of room for their speedy lung busting runs.
