Fishing trip - Orkla - week 28 - Bruhølen
Rarely offered gem in top week!
Week 28 from 7 -14 July - 4 rods plus host.
Atlantic Salmon Fly Fishing has been given a unique opportunity to offer fly fishing in week 28, prime time, when the river is full of salmon of all sizes, on one of Orkla's very best beats – Bruhølen near Vormstad.
Bruhølen offers fantastic fishing every year and at the same time you stay in one of Orkla's most beautiful lodges - right by the river! This is a rarely offered opportunity and we only have a very limited number of places.

Fishing starts July 7 at 6 p.m. and ends July 14 at noon.
All salmon fly fishermen are welcome - regardless of whether you are a beginner or have experience in salmon fishing. If you need instruction, that will also be possible. There will be an introductory guide to the fishing grounds on the first day. During the week, there will also be advice on fishing strategy and tactics depending on the conditions on the river. Focus on the fishing grounds - you learn how to read the fishing water.
We are also helpful with the composition of gear, advice and guidance before departure, so please get in touch with us if this is needed.
The tours with ASFF are self-drive tours, which is why you need your own car or a seat in another car.
Meals and drinks are your own responsibility. There is of course a fully equipped kitchen in all houses, as well as a chest freezer.

When you fish for salmon in Norway, you must redeem a state token. This can be done here:

When fishing in Orkla, you must register as a fisherman on Elveguiden by buying the Orkla card. The card itself is free, but together with the card you have to pay for disinfection. The price is NOK 180. and can be purchased here:

The rules for fishing in Orkla mean that there are quotas on how many salmon each individual fisherman can bring home. This means that "catch and realease" is an important part of fishing. The rules for the river are updated every season and it is the duty of every fisherman to thoroughly familiarize himself with the rules.

Fish that cannot be re-released and must not be taken home due to protection or already used up quota MUST be handed in to the health center. Further information can be found here:

We recommend that you have arranged payment of the fishing fee, registration and purchase of disinfection before departure.
The fishing water
The fishing water
For many seasons, Orkla has been among the best salmon rivers in Norway. In the lower part, where we fish, the river is relatively wide. We recommend two handed fly rods 12 – 15 feet with a good selection of lines in different densities.
Bruhølen is a legendary beat where a large part of the Orkla salmon stops for a shorter or longer time on its way up the river. The stretch is extremely productive and week 28 in particular can offer fabulous fishing. At this time there are many salmon in the river and new fish arrive every day. We mostly fish from the right side of the river (casting over the left shoulder) but have the right to fish on both sides and therefore have no counter fishing.
Bruhølen also offers a huge open pit, large outdoor grill and fire pit. A fantastic place for communal dining in the open air, right by the river.
