Fishing trip - Suldalslågen - week 39 - Øvre Hiim/Skoti & Sørestad

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.

The fishing trips we offer cover access to the fishing itself as well as accommodation, therefore there are conditions that you have to take care of yourself. It is important that you relate to this. We are happy to arrange an information meeting, for example. via teams, as it can be difficult to gather everyone on a team depending on where they live.

Suldalslågen is western Norway's largest salmon river and runs from Suldalsvatnet to the mouth at Sand in Sandsfjorden. "Lågen" is 23 kilometers long and carries salmon throughout the entire stretch. It is a large salmon river and the average weight in 2022 was over 6 kilos. Suldal is known for a very late rise and the shiny salmon move from the sea up the river right up to December.

We live and fish on Øvre Hiim/Skoti and Sørestad.
Upper Hiim is 4 kilometers from the mouth and is about 1 kilometer long. The section consists of Skjepavikå, Grovahølen, Vikane and the famous Skoti høl, "the safety pool" as the English called it..... The fishing on Øvre Hiim is rough, with good speed on the water and several natural stopping places and holding pools. Upper Hiim is famous for throwing really big salmon every year.

Sørestad is the second beat from the top on the magnificent river Suldal and is just under 2 km long. Fantastic and very varied fly water. Sørestad has several gapahugs with everything you need, coffee, trangia, nets, etc. Here the river runs relatively calmly and fine grass edges reach all the way to the gin-clear water in several places.

The fishing is easily accessible and you can drive along the river from top to bottom of the embankment. We have the right to fish on the left side of the river (cast over the right shoulder) which means we will see other fishermen on the other side of the river, but it has not caused problems in the past and until now it has only been fly fishermen.

We start fishing on Sunday at 6pm and end on Wednesday at 4pm.

The beat is fished exclusively with fly throughout the season and a maximum of 4 fishermen at a time. A gem that absolutely must be experienced. A gem that absolutely must be experienced.
