Salmon Fishing
Often refered to as the King of rivers, the Atlantic salmon is an elusive game fish which can drive even the most patient souls to frustration. It’s just this challenge that captivates so many and makes this powerful silver bullet the greatest prize of all.
Each year fish of upto 15kg (33lbs) are caught and recent records of 20kg (44lbs), though the average around 4kg (8.8lbs).
Our expertise lies in the most important rivers of Southern Norway which include the Mandalselva, Tovdalselva, Søgne-sogndalselva, and Audna rivers.
We will take care of everything and by going through how to choose a fly/lure due to the conditions, techniques, and more which will best increase your chances of connecting with one of nature’s most amazing creatures.
If your passion is fly fishing, then our many years of experience being involved professionally in fly fishing, guiding and instruction can offer you whatever you're looking for.
