The Orkla River is one of Norway’s best salmon rivers and the stretch at Aunan provides some of the most enchanting fly-fishing water available. If the river is seductive then the same can be said for the surroundings in equal measure. Nestled into a tranquil but steeply sloped valley, surrounded by mature woodland and well kept farms and secluded from major roads or railways this is as much a retreat as it is a great salmon river.

Ireland fishing holidays
The River Mourne is believed to be one of the best salmon rivers in Europe and the famous "Snaa" beat produces more salmon per year than many well known beats elsewhere in Britain and Ireland. The Baronscourt Estate, the Duke of Abercorn's family home since 1612, provides an excellent backdrop of historical and architectural interest to your fly fishing adventure in Ireland.

lively streams with deep fish holding pools amidst superb wild Irish scenery. There are eight miles of angling water on the Eriff divided into nine beats, all of which are under the central control of the Western Regional Fisheries Board. The fishing is uncrowded with only 2 rods on most beats and a maximum of 3 on the remainder. Although primarily a Grilse fishery the recent abolition of drift nets in Ireland has helped boost the size of salmon running the system.
