Aelva is a charming medium sized river which offers the chance to sight fish in many of the pools. There is a strong run of salmon and sea trout with the chance to catch salmon in the 40lb+ class and also large sea trout. Aelva and Horstad Lodge is considered amongst the very best rivers and operations in the country when it comes to catches per angler. You will not find many better rivers or more comfortable lodges for fly fishing for salmon in Norway.
The Lodge is situated just a 5 minute walk from the river and the lower beats are accessed by foot. The length of the river accessed from the lodge is 17 km of which 8kms is private double bank and the rest is single bank. The river is known for its gin clear water, rugged canyons and classic pools.
Horstad Gård has a rich history that stretches all the way back to 1611. There are 13 traditional rooms sleeping up to 25 people. There is also a very cosy library with a big open fireplace, 2 dining rooms, sitting room, and a large meeting room. There is also a small fly fishing shop.
Double handed salmon rods of 13-15 feet are preferred with a range of lines depending on the time of year and water conditions. A full gear list will be sent at the time of booking.
Horstad Gard Lodge operates on a Saturday to Saturday basis throughout the season from 1st June to the end of August. There are a maximum of 8 rods per week, although non-fishers are welcome. The lodge is accessed through Trondheim. Fishers can either fly to Trondheim, arriving Friday night or early Saturday morning and hire a car for the four hour drive north to the lodge, or we can arrange a transfer from Trondheim to and from the lodge. You should aim to be at the lodge by Saturday afternoon and will depart the following Saturday after breakfast.
From £4500 per person per week based on seven nights full board accommodation and six days guided fishing.
