ABOUT GORAN ANDERSSON'S SALMON SCHOOL
If your salmon season consists of a week on the Alta chaperoned by two boatmen and another week harling on the Namsen or the Tay, you don't need Göran Andersson's Salmon School. If, however, you aspire to landing big salmon, salmon over 30 pounds, even over 40 pounds, wading and unassisted by ghillies, Göran's school is designed for you.
Göran Andersson has landed over 5,000 15+ pound Atlantic salmon, wading and unassisted. He is the inventor of the underhand cast, a technique that uses custom balanced heads and shooting lines to allow the fly fisher to effectively fish rivers that do not provide enough room for a traditional Spey cast.
He designed the first large arbor reel and the Loop rods and lines that facilitate his technique.
Göran Anderson's Salmon School will teach you:
- To cast underhand and overhead elegantly and effortlessly.
- How to cast without straining your arms, shoulders,neck and back.
- Where to fish for salmon in the river.
- How to control fly movement and fly depth in the water column.
- How to select and design fly patterns for different situations.
- How to select and construct shooting heads and running lines customized ? for your physique, your abilities and the rivers you fish.
- How to fight and land fish, and how to release them safely.
Göran will share with you the knowledge and techniques that took him over 50 years of hard work and scrupulous investigation to develop, techniques copycat instructors try to teach but do not really understand themselves, much less master. The objective of the school is to give you flexibility and freedom to catch difficult salmon under difficult conditions and in places most people don't think can be fished with a fly rod. The challenges and rewards of catching big fish under these conditions make fishing for salmon from the boat or along vast knee-depth shingle seem tepid and dull.
The Salmon School is in June on the Verdal River located 70 km north of the airport in Trondheim, Norway, less than 50 km from the Swedish border at the charming and comfortable lodging on Östnes Farm.
Östnes Farm is located about 15 km from the sea. It accommodates different styles of casting, and does not require underhand casting exclusively. The Östnes Farm offers a two bedroom cabin with bathroom, 2 beds in each bedroom. It is situated very near the Vuku Bridge so you can easily access both sides of the river. Make you own breakfast and lunch; dinner is included in the price and served in the main farmhouse, about 200 m from the cabin.
* There is a grocery store and gas station about 200 meters from the cabins.
Östnes: School Weeks - Max 6 person per week.
Week 1. Length: 4 days including dinner. 8538 Nok per person/4 days

Equipment to Bring
Rods and Lines
Two-handed rods 11.5 to 15 feet Even though the water may be high and cold we will probably fish floating heads using Göran's special techniques. Feel free to bring slow sink or sinking heads if you desire. Göran show you how to reconstruct your own lines to fish more effectively.
Leaders
Bring long stout new tapered nylon leaders, 15-20 feet, 20+ pound strength for floating lines and short leaders for sinking lines.
Salmon Flies
Bring big tube flies - gold, orange, red, brown and black - with sparkle, and doubles in sizes 4 through 6. June offers big water and big fish so offer them big flies.
Waders and Wading Staff
Bring chest waders with felt or felt and studs. Bring a wading staff if you'd like but you probably won't need it as both beats offer tractable wading.
2011 Class Season
We had good fishing with 38 salmon landed between 13 to 20 pounds most of them released. All student caught salmon.
