Fishing description:
The Årgård beat stretches from just below the tidal limit, through short rapids and calm pools, up to Strømmen Beach. The beat is approximately 1.7 kilometres, with 1.2 kilometres being the most frequently fished section. The owners have rights to both sides of the river up to the pool at Strømmen, where the river is shared with a neighbouring beat for 100 metres.
Anglers can use a boat to cross the river, as some locations can be fished from either side depending on water level and preference. The river can be waded at several points by experienced anglers when water levels are low. Pools are marked with signs.
Salmon typically range from 1 kg to 13.7 kg, with most catches between 1.5 and 3.5 kg. Early-season fish tend to be slightly larger. Sea trout account for about 5–10% of total catches.
Fishing and accommodation package for 2026:
The entire beat can be rented exclusively. The package includes all four cabins, with bed linen, towels, and final cleaning. Each cabin has two bedrooms with two single beds per room, totaling 16 beds. One cabin is larger and can serve as a gathering space.
Guests receive an introduction and basic guiding upon arrival. A local guide can be booked for additional days if desired. Fishing days start at 12:00 noon. Packages run from Saturday to Saturday.
