Norway’s excellent start to the season continues with some fantastic fish caught yesterday. Ex Liverpool and Norway football star Vegard Heggem now runs one of the best fishing 'villages' in Norway on the river Orkla (Aunan beat) and we are delighted that Vegard is partnering us to provide you with regular reports and fishing opportunities from that great river.

The first report is on our Bog now - click here to view. Yesterday, one 16lb salmon and two fresh 20lb salmon were caught from Vegard’s water on the fly. The Orkla also yesterday (9th June) produced a magnificent, sparkling 40lb salmon on the fly from the Hovedvaldet beat.
