2 24 Angling Travels in Norway. 



fish after ascending the rapid water below. Situated 

 between these two streams is a deep pool of horse-shoe 

 form running over a clean gravel bed, and the left-hand 

 side of this shelter is much frequented by large fish for 

 the first few weeks of the season, and by smaller ones 

 later on. 



This pool can be fished by casting from the boat or 

 by harling, and the angler is certain to enjoy some fine 

 sport in it. 



It is a difficult pool to manage a boat in, and the 

 angler should keep upon close terms with his fish, or he 

 may get broken in the rocks further down. 



We have now arrived at the last pool, which is not 

 a good one, and I do not trouble it when there is a chance 

 elsewhere ; but, all the same, we have killed fish in it each 

 season by harling. 



Below here the waters are in other tenancies, including 

 the Bolstad river. I believe the fishing is all harling, and 

 while passing by I have never seen any other system 

 employed. Then comes a lot of fjord water, succeeded 

 by a river-like portion, which, before its junction with the 

 fjord proper, is trapped and netted in every conceivable 

 way, and the fish are said to run straight through it. 



I went down one day, and only saw a seal diligently 

 fishing the best pool, but the farmers get a good number 

 of fish out of it.
