Imagine coming to Norway and having the grand nature of the Binndalen valley and the river Åbjøra at your own personal disposal. Seven kilometres of pristine river and a traditional Norwegian cabin to house you and your group. This is the home of brown trout, sea trout and salmon – all in the same water system. In addition to the river, accommodation here also grants access to a variety of mountain lakes in the vicinity.

How about exclusive fishing rights for trout, salmon and searun trout in roughly 7 km varied river, surrounded by a variety of typical Nordland nature, rich wildlife and good fishing?  In addition you get accomodation at the Åbjøra cabin that will make for an overall experience hard to beat.

The river Åbjøra runs crystal clear between two large lakes, where brown trout are the primary inhabitants. However, this stretch of river has annual runs of wild salmon and sea run trout. The river is well hidden from the outside world and are literally made for fly-fishing. With its long stretches of slow flowing glass clear water, and plenty of good places for fish to hold. The river has good consistent mayfly hatches and big cautious trout. It is perfect for sight fishing, at least for those who are capable of cautiously moving along the banks without spooking the fish. At the bottom of the river system the river runs slow and wide through the landscape while throughout the upper stretch you will find deeper pools and runs, which are home to big trout. The Åbjøra river has a long practice of sustainable use.

Sounds tempting, right? Get more information about this magnificent river, and see the small “documentary”, made by Black Fly Eyes at the top of this article.  At Plahtes Eiendommer (estates) you will find a variety of other good fisheries, such as Fishing for Sea run trout at Urvold and Fishing for Salmon in Terråk.
