ROMSDAL AMT. 39 
Let it be distinctly understood that I by no means 
wish it to be inferred that salmon-fishing can be en-

sport is occasionally to be had in some of them, I am 
quite convinced. And to the sportsman who is pos- 
sessed of a good constitution, and not adverse to loco- 
motion, the proximity of the above-named rivers to 
each other may afford him an opportunity of testing 
the greater part of them. And as all the best fishing 
in this Amt is hired, he must be content to put up with 
what he can get, forming a residue, by the way, by no 
means to be despised. 
We now come to Molde, at the mouth of the 
Romsdal Fjord, a stopping station for the steamers to 
the north. A small steamer runs up the fjord to its 
extreme end at Veblungsnes, for the route of which, 
vide Bennett’s ‘ Handbook.’ 
In the neighbourhood of Molde there is some good 
trout-fishing to be had. The view from this place 
over the mountains of Romsdalen is truly magnificent.

small rivers, which, I am told, occasionally will yield 
a little sport; thus at. Vold, a few miles to the west of 
the above village. 
“That district of the western coast of Norway which 
is bounded by Romsdal on the west and Sundal on the 
east, affords an unrivalled field to the sportsman, or to
