Øvereidet lies in beautiful surroundings right by the river that connects Fjellvatnet and Eidevatnet. One of Norway’s largest protected coniferous forest reserves lies right in front of the cabin.
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 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
Guests at Øvereidet can also fish for trout and arctic char in mountain- or forest lakes. For more information browse through the album in this tab.
Øvereidet is unlike any other place we know of. A narrow passage between two lakes with large giant’s kettles and deep furrows on the mountain sides – Large hallmarks left by the glaciers that covered the land more than 10 000 years ago on their journey to the ocean.
Øvereidet lies about 4 km upstream of Sagmestereidet, where the narrow passage widens to form the Eide lake. Sitting on the poach, you overlook the Eide lake and you are surrounded by one of Norway’s largest protected conifer nature reserve. This area a unique biodiversity of mushrooms, lichen and rare plants.
