38 SPORT IN NORWAY. 



To the east of this fjord is Nordals Fjord, which 

 contains some likely rivers. At Strand, half-way down 

 on the western shore, there is a good stream, and one 

 also immediately opposite at Stordalen. There are 

 stations in the immediate neighbourhood of either 

 river. A little to the south the fjord branches off, 

 one arm going to the right, the other to the left. In 

 the former there is a very good river, VALDALEN ELY, 

 running out at Sylte. It can be fished about seven 

 miles up, and salmon will take a fly very eagerly here. 

 At the extreme end of this arm there are two small 

 rivers, HERDALS ELV and TALFJORD ELY; as they 

 are within easy access from Sylte by boat, they might 

 be tried. In the former of these, at about a distance 

 of four miles from the mouth, tolerable fishing may 

 be had. In the other arm, the Sunelven Fjord, the 

 LANGDALS ELV, at the extreme end, is a good river. 

 It is only about seven miles long. Stadeims Gaard 

 owns the fishery. There is an excellent pool under 

 a foss about two miles from the mouth. A little to the 

 east is the GEIRANGER ELY ; it is about ten miles in 

 length. There is uow steam communication between 

 Hellesyldt at the end of this fjord and Aalesund. (For 

 further information, vide Bennett's ' Handbook.') At 

 Eidevik, a few miles due east of Aalesund, where the 

 steamer stops, there is a small river which may be 

 tried.
