• Exclusive rights for fishing on one side of the Øvereid river. 
• The same fishing rights as for Sagmestereidet (except the Eide river).
• Also good possibilities for trout fishing
• Easy to reach, but miles from nearest neighbour

In the narrow passage between the lakes Eidevatn and Fjellvatnet, potholes and deep furrows in the rocks are marks left by the glaciers that covered the land more than 10 000 years ago. The river connecting the two lakes flows swiftly past our cabin at Øvereidet.  Even though the cabin lies several miles from its nearest neighbour, it is easily reached by boat, parking the car at Kalbekkvika.

The river is short and swift, but has a couple of good spots for fishing with angler worm. The inlet and outlet of the river provide good conditions, also for fly-fishing. The lakes are among the best in the region for sea trout and salmon fishing.

Sea trout and Salmon:

This is a good river for sea trout and small salmon fishing. The river is about 150 meters long, and is quite swift. The fishing in the river itself is more sensitive to the water flow compared to Sagmestereidet. At high or very low water flows, the fish mainly stands at the inlet/outlet of the river. The fishing in the two lakes is normally good throughout the season. In the main part of the river, you would normally choose to fish with angler worm. In the outlet,  fly fishing and fishing with spoon/spinning bait is used.  Our guests have exclusive rights for fishing on the riverbank closest to the lodge. The right to fish from the other riverbank, must be shared with our guests at Sagmestereidet and Kalbekkvika. The best period for fishing in the river is from mid July. In the Eide lake, the fishing is good from the end of June.  

The river flows into the Eide lake. The fishing is normally good throughout the year. The few people that live in the area have fishing rights in this lake (maximum two boats). If this is your first time in this lake, we recommend a chat with one of the locals for tips on fishing techniques. In Fjellvatnet and Storvatnet, the fishing is equally good, but the best season is from mid/end July.

The length of the water system (with sea trout and salmon) you can reach from this cabin is about 13 km. long. In the lower part you will mainly fish for sea trout and wild salmon. In the upper part (storvatnet/Fjellvatnet) there is also stationary trout. There is also arctic char in the main water system and in some of the smaller lakes

Boats in Fjellvatnet/Storvatnet and Eidevatnet are included.

Trout fishing:

Our guests have also fishing rights in several mountain lakes both in the lowlands and in the mountains. We bo not sell loose fishing cards, but the local population are allowed to fish in some of the lakes. In general, this is not a crowded place, and you can experience walking for days in the mountain without meeting other people. The description below starts at the fjord and lists smaller lakes in further up in the water system (The area is used by our guests at Øvereidet, Kalbekkvika and Sørengvatn.):

Lower Urdstjørn, 45 masl: Trout lake with fish up to about 0,5-0,7 kg. It is normally easy to catch the trout. There is a small rowing boat in the lake.

Elisabethtjørna, 238 masl: The lake is not named on the map, but lies northwest of Upper Urstjønn. The conditions for spawning is not very good. Therefore there are few fish there, but the fish has good quality and size.

Upper Urdstjørn, 307 masl This is a trout lake with fish of very high quality and good size. (Up to 3 kg.) The fish is shy, so fishing is best when there is some wind, when the weather is overcast or rainy, or during the night.  There are good places to camp for the night. The scenery is beautiful and you can explore a large natural chalk cave near by


Mølnvatnet at Fjellet: Trout and arctic char of good quality and size


Mølnvatnet, 44 masl: Good population of trout. Size up to 1 kg. The lake lies close to an

Søbergsåa, (river from Sørengvatn): The lower 1 km holds seaa trout and salmon. The upper half is calm and has good spots for fly fishing. Medium size trout.

Sørengvatnet, 50 masl: Trout lake. The lake is shallow with dark bottom. The quality of the trout varies. Size up to 1 kg. Flyfishing with nymph at the outlet can be effective. Otherwise best fished with anglerworm or spinning bait.

Søbergsvatnet, 305 masl: Productive trout lake with fish of high quality. Size up to 3 kg. Fishing is normally done with spinning bait, wobler, and angler worm. For fly fishing, we reccomend using slightly larger flies than what is commen for mountain trout fishing. It takes about 50 min. to walk from nearest road to the lake. It is also possible to get to the lake directly from Storvatnet.

Søbergsvatnet, 307 masl: About the same fishing as Søbergsvatn 306 masl.

Småtjørnan, 329- og 343 masl: Trout of good size and quality. On hot and sunny summerdays, it is possible to try lake at 343 masl from the scree on the soutern side of the lake. (using the shadow of the mountain)

Godvatnet, 40 masl: Shallow trout lake. The lake is rich with neutrients but is better than it looks. The fish has good size and condition. Size up to 2 kg.  

Strauman 38 masl: Innermost part of the Saus water system. Normally trout only, but an occational sea trout/salmon has been caught. The fish has good quality with size up to about 1 kg. There is arctic char in parts of the area. Good place for dry fly fishing.

Bergshaugvatnet: The lake is connected with Strauman. The lake is deep and holds trout and arctic char with good quality.

Fjord fishing (Deep sea fishing):
The fjord Tosen offers good fishing after cod, coal fish and other marine mish. The fjord is reached within 10 minutes by car from the cabin. There are good spots for fishing from land. We can arrange rental of a boat in the fjord, or arrange a cruise on the fjord with experienced fishermen. Please read our description of fjord fishing at Eide .
