HEDEMARKEN AMT. 79 



a pony are indispensable. The journey takes about 

 ten hours, and is as lonely and nigged as mountain 

 fjelds covered with nothing but reindeer moss can 

 make it. On a clear day the Dovre may be distinctly 

 seen in the distance ; and the snow-capped top of 

 Snehaetten stands out in bold relief when the atmo- 

 sphere is clear. The guide will require three dollars, 

 including the pony ; at least I had to pay that 

 sura. 



A short distance below Faemund Soen the fishing is 

 of a most superior class ; and though a good deal of 

 netting is done, yet it is a district so thinly inhabited 

 that there are but few to interrupt the angler. A tent, 

 though desirable, is not absolutely requisite. Very 

 fair quarters, and a boarded bedroom, with a bedstead 

 and clean sheets all to yourself (!), are to be had at 

 Sundeth Gaard a luxury not always to be had in 

 outlying districts. Trout of a very large size may be 

 taken. The fishing is best from boats, as the river 

 is broad. 



These two rivers, the Klar and the Kena, are 

 decidedly the best rivers in the whole province. The 

 OSEN ELV, falling into the Kena a short distance 

 before this latter empties itself into the Glommen, is a 

 nice trout-stream ; and the AASTA ELY, felling into 

 the Glommen near Bjornstad, is a very likely-looking 

 stream, and has some remarkably fishy-looking pools.
