NORTH BERGENHHUUS AMT. 49 
at which it can be fished. Sea-trout of a very large 
size are taken here; and late in the autumn splendid 
sport may be had. This river is let on lease. There 
is a small river in the same fjord, at the extreme end, 
which should be tried. It is called the Monpa Exy. 
Salmon of a large size may be taken here, but the 
water 1s very variable. It is only after a flood that 
fishing can be had. Ina dry season the river would be 
a total failure. Moreover, it is terribly trapped. Most 
of the fishing belongs, I believe, to an ‘‘ex-M.P.,” 
Thorstein Fretheim. 
In Narédal salmon-fishing may occasionally be had. 
Gudvangen is a fair station, though not first rate. In 
the lower part of the Gudvangen river, late in the 
season, there are a great number of sea-trout, and 
indeed most of the rivers running into the Sogne Fjord 
and its branches will be found to afford good sea-trout 
fishing. A fly with a light-blue body and gold tinsel 
can be recommended for these fish. Jt may be re- 
marked that the scenery about here is grand in the 
extreme. A little way up the valley, the traveller, who 
is making his way to Bergen by land, will pass Stal- 
heim. The road up the mountain is of a most extra- 
ordinary “corkscrew nature,” and is a fine specimen 
of Norwegian engineering skill. On either side of the 
road are two fine fosses which add considerably to the 
beauty of the landscape.
