How to get there
Most of our foreign guests arrive by plane at Trondheim airport. We can arrange transfers, but renting a car offers more flexibility while fishing with us. From the airport, it's about a 1 hour and 50-minute drive to the lodge. For directions, click here.

We have a small tackle shop on-site with a good selection of flies, leaders, fly lines, and some clothing. We don't stock waders, boots, rods, or reels, but if you inform us of your needs when you book, we can arrange for almost anything.
