“ My name is Jan van Zandwijk, I live in Holland. My hobbies are fly fishing and fly tying, and I like to spend my holidays in Norway to visit Glomma river and it's tributaries. I am 48 years old. ”

“ I am into fly fishing for 20 years now, and I fished rivers and lakes in Scotland, England, Germany, Austria, Sweden and Norway. “

What do you like about river Glomma and the Kvennan Fly Fishing zone ?
“ Glomma has so much to offer. Countless fishing spots and all that beautiful nature along the river.”

“ I remember the first fish in Glomma rising to my fly. I missed it, but until this day it must have been the largest grayling I've ever seen”

“ Sure ! The biggest trout was 56 cm, and one day I landed and released a grayling of 58 cm on a dry fly.”

“ I have a lot of favourite dry flies, if I should name a special one for Glomma it would have to be the CDC sedge emerger”

“A black nymph, body made of black squirrel fur and a silver bead head.”

" For dry fly fishing I like to use a braided leader. Depending on the water type and the strength of the wind, my ideal leader would be 9 ft long, I attach a tippet about 2 meters long; this tippet is 12/100 or 14/100 mm thick “

“ I loose as many fish when using barbed hooks or barbless hooks. It doesn't seem to matter much for me, it all depends if the fish is hooked well. If it is not, I will loose it.”

“ I really support them ! “

“ Enjoy the nature and the tranquility. Before you start fishing, have a good look and make sure you read the water well. Only then you cast your fly, and when circumstances are right, you will catch fish.”

“ Please remember to keep this fishery accessible for all fly fisherman ! “
