The Bjerkreim River is one of Norway’s best-known salmon rivers, with around 54 kilometres of fishable river. Try your luck in everything from calm stretches to fast-flowing rapids and deep pools, surrounded by the green landscape of Bjerkreim.
Where can you fish?
The river is divided into several fishing zones, making it easy to find a spot that suits you. The fishing stretches from Tengesdal in the south to Skjæveland and Hegelstad further north.
