SOUTH THKOXDHJEMS AMT. 31 



south-west of Throndhjem. The steamer to the north 

 touches at Throndhjem. (For other routes, vide Bennett's 

 ' Handbook of Eoutes,' 1, 2, and 3.) Salmon go up 

 this river about forty miles to Svelget in Aalen parish. 

 A great portion of the fishing in this river is usually 

 taken up, as, for instance, at Soknaes. At Bogen, a few 

 miles east of this, the fishing is "well spoken of, and at 

 Eogstad. As the road runs by the river all the way, 

 there may possibly be found a few places where leave to 

 fish can be had. Its tributaries, the EEN~A ELV, running 

 into it near Bogen, the HAUKLA, and STAAVIL, a 

 few miles to the west, should be tried. 



The OKKLA ELV had formerly a bad reputation, 

 owing to certain parties having met with poor sport 

 one season. It is, however, an excellent salmon 

 river, and is capable of showing very good sport. 

 Salmon go up in it to Havdals Foss in Eennebo 

 parish, south of Meldal. A branch road from Flaa 

 runs by it (vide Bennett's ' Handbook of Eoutes,' 2). 

 At Fandrem, near its mouth, good fishing is to 

 be had, and also in the neighbourhood of Gumdal, 

 where there is an exceedingly good station/ But 

 perhaps the best place on the whole river is at 

 Langsaeter, about fourteen miles above Fandrem. 

 Hereabouts there are at least twenty or thirty pools. 

 Good quarters can also be had ; but I believe most, if 

 not all, of the fishing in this river to be taken.
