The Orkla River is one of Norway’s best salmon rivers. The total salmon runs are 88 kilometers through the valley of Orkladal, comprising the districts of Orkdal, Meldal and Rennebu. The river enters the southernmost part of the Trondheim Fjord by the town of Orkanger, appr. 30 minutes drive south of Trondheim. The fishing season in the Orkla starts on the 1st of June and ends on 31st of August.
The Aunan waters are located by the small community Grindal, appr. 60 km up river. The first 3SW salmon enter our deep holding pools in late May and June. The 2SW enter in June and July, and the grilse come from mid July and onwards. We have fresh fish running all through the season.

We typically split the 12 rods into 3 groups of 4 rods. At Aunan we practice Nordic style salmon fishing. We do not fish one place for 10 minutes and then go to another place, like they typically do in Iceland. We fish through a pool, come off the river and sit down on the bank. Over a cup of coffee prepared over the fire, the client and guide observe the pool and consider new tactics; different fly, different line? And then go through the pool a second time. Quite often the fish takes on the second time the angler goes through a pool. 4 rods share 3-5 pools for 6 hours before the group gets allocated 3-5 new pools.
