332 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. [10] 



After having passed the liver Svartd, I again came to the Skjalfanda. 

 There are some trout in this portion of its course, and the spawning 

 trout ascend all of its tributaries. In the stream called Kalfborgara, 

 east of Lundabrekr, trout weighing 10 pounds are occasionally found. 

 The fisheries are carried on by constructing a dam across the mouth 

 (first in August, and several times later in the season), so that the bed 

 of the stream is laid dry and the fish can easily be caught. The Skjal- 

 fanda, from Lundabrekr and as far down as Storevellir, is also a good 

 salmon stream, as there are large spawning places, especially along the 

 eastern bank. Here the river has a comparatively quiet course, is 

 shallow, and, moreover, many tributaries supply it with good water. 

 There is, therefore, a possibility that the salmon will feel at home here, 

 if they can succeed in crossing the Goda Falls.
