• 40 000 acres with exclusive fishing rights
• Good fishing in about 20 small and bigger mountain lakes
• Large area with beautiful and unpolluted nature

This is the most high-lying region of the property. The cabin is located at about 500 meters altitude. There are few trees in the area, but a rich vegetation of mountain birch, willow and a large variety of heather and other plants.

The region is well known for good Fishing, and consists of many different smaller and bigger lakes. Many of our guests choose to bring a tent to be able to better utilize the more distant parts of the area.

The cabin is very rough and primitive, but offers good shelter. Wood, most necessary kitchen utensils etc. is at hand (Click the "Accommodation" button above for details). To get there, you take the exit from E6 about 9,5 km north from Namskandan, and drive 24 km on a construction road (closed for normal traffic) to the cabin.

The cabin lies close to a dam for hydroelectric power. The area is therefore not "untouched" as the other parts of the estate. The Kalvvatn lake has a regulation zone, but  holds good size fish, and is also used for easy transportation to many of the surrounding lakes.

The Fishing:
Our guests have the right to fish in the whole drainage basin down to (including) Mellavatn. 

Here you will find almost endless possibilities for good and varied Fishing. There are many different lakes, and also running water, that many of our guests have found ideal for fly Fishing. 

This is an ultra-oligotrof area (low nutrient content in the lakes). This selects for predator community in some of the lakes, which can give large sized trouts. Although rare, trouts up to 4 kg have been caught. In total, there are about 15-20 different lakes with high quality trout in the area.

In the power regulated large lake Kalvvatn (500 meters amsl), and in Ringvatna (595-615 meters amsl), the spawning conditions are bad, and the number of fish in the lake are few. The fish you catch there, however, is of good size and quality. 

Generally you will find the best Fishing in Faatnoenjaevrie (594 meters amsl), Holmvatnet (532 meters amsl), Brennelvområdet and Kalvvassfjellet. In this last region, there are several lakes and tarns with Fishing of the highest quality. 

Nilsinetjernene, (Nilsinetjønnin) (350-570 meters amsl), are easy to reach and offer several good Fishing spots, also with running water. The fish varies in size, but the amount caught is normally good although it may vary some from year to year. Trouts up to 3 kg have been caught. 

Øvrevatn (556 meters amsl) was presumed to be empty for fish (has never been). In 1997 we put  autochthonous spawn in this and a few other lakes, which should give good catches in the years to come.

The Kalvvatn region is known to be one of the best spots for mountain-trout Fishing in the middle part of Norway. Before the road came, this area was very difficult to reach, and has, even after the building of the dam, lost little of its original wilderness. The construction road is closed for all traffic except for our guests, the Lap people and for people supervising the dam.  Here you really feel you have left civilization behind to experience true wilderness.

The boat in Kalvvatnet makes it easy to get to the northern part of the area. The season starts at the beginning of July. For the northern and higher lakes, the best Fishing is in August and September.
