Top Ten Rivers 2023 Norway
River Orkla
The Orkla is one of the 2 most productive salmon rivers in Norway. The river is about 50 km south of Trondheim. It flows into the
Trondheimsfjord at Orkanger . Salmon rise around 88 km in the Orkla, up to the vicinity of Berkak . The Orkla is regulated. There are 5
power plants on the river which the salmon can pass unhindered. When the waterlevel is low, the power plants are obliged to release
additional water for the unhindered salmon ascent. The salmon season on the Orkla lasts 3 months. The season starts at midnight on May
31st and ends at midnight on August 31st. Fly fishermen on the Orkla always have excellent conditions for excellent sport for Atlantic
salmon. On the Orkla there are no obstacles that are dependent on the water level and therefore insurmountable that could prevent the
salmon from rising. The Orkla is one of the few rivers in the world where anglers have the chance to hook a “multi-seawinter salmon” over
20 kg with their next cast.
The river Orkla is one of the few rivers in the world where your next cast might result in a 40-pounder!
