AGEKHUUS AMT. 83 



ever, -within such easy distance, it is much fished by 

 the " cockaigne " of the capital ; and as the accommoda- 

 tion in the forest cabins is as bad as well can be, it is 

 scarcely worth while visiting, especially when much 

 better places can be reached in as short a time. The 

 fishing is entirely from boats, though many hundreds 

 of small trout may be taken in the rivers. The 

 northernmost of these lakes, Sandungen, the baron 

 reserves for his own and his friends' fishing. 



At Eidsvold, the terminus of the railway, and about 

 forty-two miles from town, capital grayling-fishing may 

 be had in the Yormen in the month of August ; and 

 good quarters may be found at Olsen's hotel, in the 

 same building as the station. 



Eidsvold is a convenient and central situation, as it 

 is only three hours from town by rail, and about six 

 by steamer from Lillehammer, the north end of the 

 lake. It is a rarity to catch a trout here, but the 

 grayling-fishing is really superior. 



In the Oyeren Lake the Perca luscio perca, pike 

 perch (gjors, norsk) may be taken. This rare and 

 peculiar fish attains a large size, and is frequently 

 taken up to thirty pounds in weight. It is a quick- 

 growing fish, and is excellent for the table. For 

 further and fuller accounts, the reader is referred to 

 Lloyd's ' Scandinavian Adventures,' vol. i. p. 27.
