|
| SULDAL |
 The Suldalslagen runs for 22 km from lake Suldalsvatnet
through a fertile valley with grazing sheep and cows until it reaches the sea at Sand.
Even though the river is regulated the Suldalslagen has the largest flow of water of any river
on the west coast of Norway. It also has the latest run of salmon. As salmon enter
the river they encounter a 5 metre high waterfall; Sandsfossen. A fish ladder helps the
salmon to pass and a counter records all fish coming up the river. Running salmon can be
watched from a studio by the waterfall.
Due to the river’s high winter temperature, the salmon spawn in January and the fishing
season starts on 15th of July. Primetime is from middle of August to the middle of
September. Salmon and Sea-Trout fishing takes place along the entire watercourse.
The river can only be fished with fly or spoon.
The Salmon that breed here are genetically unique and anglers are doing their best to keep it
this way by returning the big ones to the river. The biggest one ever caught here was 75
pounds (34 kg). Mr Grieg, an Englishman who took this salmon on fly, had to play the
fish for 12 hours. There are still captures that exceed 20kg every year and the biggest
fly caught fish in 2005 was 21.1 kg. Since 1957 the total catch has been between 300 and 2000
salmon a year. Walter Archer, who was Chief Inspector for the Scottish salmon fisheries,
become so enamoured with the river that he started renting rights: until in 1884 the whole
river was under his control! Victor Campbell, who joined Robert Falcon Scott on his expedition
to the North Pole, also enjoyed control over part of the river for 40 years. |
| THE FISHING |
 Mo Laksegard controls three beats of double bank
fishing. The Ovre Hose beat starts just 400 m from the river mouth just above the Sandsfossen
waterfall, and extends to 450m of exciting fly-fishing. The beat is easy to walk and to wade -
also in the dark if you want to try the sea trout.
Litlehaga/Berge beat starts 2.5 kilometres from the outlet and has two good pools, and in
between, fast running water. There is 850m of double bank fishing. The part between the two
bridges regularly produces big Salmon on fly.
Forland 3 beat starts 7 kilometres above the river mouth and is 1.6 km long. The beat
offers good walking and casting conditions. Waders are not necessary. You start upstream by a
small pool which is followed by steadily flowing fly water 50 meters wide. On this stretch
there could be a salmon resting anywhere. Trees have been cut to make casting easier.
Next there is Flatto, a 400m pool where the salmon often lie only a few meters from the bank.
After a wide rapid there is a short stretch which ends in the bend pool. Here, the fly is the
right weapon. The beat ends in the lower pool below Storoy. On this beat there is a fishing
hut where you can make coffee or food, or have a rest on one of the bunk beds. The Mo
Laksegard water is normally fished by 4 rods per week with 1 or 2 guides. The 2005 catch
comprised 23 salmon and grilse, based on an average of 4 rods per week over a 6 weeks period.
Average salmon size was 4.6 kilos and the largest salmon 18 kilos. The number of sea trout
caught in 2005 was 24 with an average weight of 1.1 kilo. |

| NAMSEN |
The Namsen is one of the most powerful rivers in Norway and runs through the
northern part of Central Norway. Salmon run through 175 kilometres of the river system
including the tributaries Bjora and Sandola. The British have been fishing the river
since 1830 and it is particularly well known for its large salmon.
If it is a salmon in the 40 lb+ range you are seeking, then you will need to visit the Lower
Namsen and Hildrum Farm at the beginning of June. At this time of year the water
levels are likely to be high so fly fishing from a boat or harling are the best options.
If the water levels are lower, you will be able to fish from the bank. Larger runs of
salmon and grilse come into the river during the third week of June and at this time fishing
from the bank or wading would be the norm.
Fiskum Falls is the most sought after beat on the river and is allocated to 6 fishermen
with two guides. Here salmon in the 40-45 pound range are caught but most fish are in
the mid-size range - in 2004 a 53lb fish was caught. A fisherman can expect to catch 1-2
fish each day.
Fly fishing is also available on some of the tributaries of the Namsen. |
