72 SPORT IN NORWAY. 
fair fishing can be had on the Drammen river. From 
this place skyts should be taken to Tingelstad, on the 
Eggedal river, which may be fished up to Medalen. 
The road runs by it all the way. Good trout-fishing 
may be had in the Logen river, already spoken of, all 
the way up to Opdal: the road runs by it to this place. 
And further up this river the fishing is good, but 
the accommodation very inferior. The north-western 
part of this Amt, owing to its inaccessibility, is but 
little known to the fisherman; but should dirt, fleas, | 
and poor fare not prove insuperable impediments, there 
is little question but that capital sport may be found. 
In the southern part of this Amt the shooting is 
poor; but both in Hallingdal and Nummedal excellent 
ryper-shooting may be had. Opdal will be found a 
tolerable and convenient station as head-quarters. 
In the north and north-western parts reimdeer are 
numerous, especially on Reensfjeld, Hemsedals Fjeld ; 
in the extreme north, Nystols Fjeld and Halling- 
skarven. 
Elk are rare. Bears, principally in the northern 
districts, are not uncommon. The ayerage number 
killed is 1412. In 1860, however, 23 bears were 
killed in this Amt.
