FINMARKEN AMT. i) 
cellent salmon river. As far as I can learn, 7d has 
never been fished by any Englishman. I have been 
informed that the river literally swarms with salmon ; 
but as a set-off against this, that the Laps do a great 
deal towards spoiling the fishing by netting. It can 
easily be reached from Vadsd by boat-skyts, a distance 
of fourteen or fifteen miles. Here a tent is absolutely 
requisite ; provisions, too, must be taken, and an in- 
terpreter, and an arrangement should be made with 
the same boatman before leaving Vadso. 
Pasvia Envy, a few miles to the west, runs into 
Kloster Fjord, a collateral branch of the Varanger 
_ Fjord. Capital fishing may be had here. Salmon are 
only able to run up about three miles and a half, as a 
foss prevents their further progress. But below this 
some excellent sport may be had. But few English- 
men have ever fished here, I am inclined to think. 
A tent is not absolutely necessary, though always 
desirable. Boat-skyts can be taken from Vadsd to 
Piselynees, where a hunter named Clark resides, who is, 
I believe, of English extraction. He is a prodigy of 
a linguist, speaking seven different languages, I have 
been told. He is also Lensmand of the district, and 
can give excellent information as to fishmg and 
shooting in general in this Amt. The English sports- 
man who purposes fishing either in this or in Jacob's 
Ely, will do well to make Mr. Clark’s acquaintance
