Laerdal, bästa älven jag fiskat..

Häng med till Laerdalälven, den klassiska älven på vestlandet som i år öppnar 2 månader för laxfiske! Vi har fått 6 dygn på Lysne beat. Datum är: 22 – 27 juni.

Laerdalselvi är en klassisk laksälv som varit nästintill omöjlig att komma att fiska till om du inte hade stora summor pengar att betala. Den rinner i en mycket vacker natur, mellan riktigt höga berg och har en laxfiskehistoria som går tillbaka 150 år i tiden. Det var här Sunray shadow uppfanns av Ray Brooks och här har Norges Kung Harald fiskat plus massvis med filmstjärnor, artister och andra kända personer.

Vi rekommenderar starkt C/R på denna resa.

De som följer med kommer att bli erbjuden en plats nästa år.

Nedan är ett utdrag av Øystein Aas & Kjetil Bjørklund där de skriver om:

THE LÆRDAL – RIVER OF KINGS AND QUEENS!

”Together with the Alta river in Northern Norway, the Lærdal river is definitely the most legendary among the many hundred salmon rivers in Norway. The river enters the sea in the bottom of the Sognefiord, at the west coast of Norway. The qualities and myths related to this river has its background in several distinct features of it’s fishery and the surrounding environment.

Firstly, since the mid-18th century, anglers from all over the world has priced the large-salmon fishery. Salmon ranging up to 50 pounds have frequently been caught in the river during the years. The strong runs of multi-sea winter salmon is accompanied by a population of large sea-run brown trout, and in Lærdal and the neighbor-river Aurland, there has been developed a challenging dry-fly fishery for these large 15-20 pound trouts.

Secondly, the river runs through a breath-taking valley. Steep hillsides with occasional waterfalls, reaching directly up to the Jotunheimen mountains, a green and productive forest- and meadow bottom and the extremely clear water creates among the most picturesque surrounding for salmon fly-fishing.

At last, it’s the river’s long angling history and the richly developed culture related to fly angling that frames the fishery even today. The impressing list of authoritative persons fishing the river during it’s 150 year angling history contains Norway’s King Harald, the polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen, a number of noble persons from Great Britain, and film stars, artists, and businessmen from all across the world. Many of these people continue to visit the river and the salmon. Av: Øystein Aas & Kjetil Bjørklund”
