For those who truly love sport fishing, few experiences compare to chasing wild Atlantic salmon in Norway. Among all game fish, the salmon stands apart. It is powerful, elusive, beautiful, and rich in history. Few, if any, places in the world offer a finer chance to pursue it than Norway, where great rivers and a deep angling tradition have made salmon fishing something close to a calling.
At Austnes, you experience that calling in rare form. Here, on one of Norway’s finest salmon rivers, you fish exceptional beats in peace, far from crowds and compromise. This is the kind of water serious anglers dream about. Water that invites hope with every cast. Water where the next take can become the moment you remember for the rest of your life.
Austnes is not simply a place to fish. It is a place for those who understand what great sport fishing is all about. The anticipation. The focus. The respect for the river. And the chance to meet a fish so special that one encounter with it can stay with you forever.
At Austnes, you are supported by more than a place to fish.
If you are missing tackle, clothing, or any other essential item, or if something unexpected comes up during your stay, we have the equipment and practical necessities you are likely to need. Alongside this, you also benefit from experienced guidance and local knowledge from people who understand both the river and the demands of salmon fishing.
The intention is to give you peace of mind throughout your stay, so you can focus fully on the water, the conditions, and the experience itself, knowing that both equipment and expertise are always close at hand.

We do not own this river or this land. We borrow it from our children. That belief shapes how we fish, how we care for the surroundings, and how we think about the future of wild Atlantic salmon.
Great fishing depends on healthy rivers, responsible stewardship, and respect for the balance of nature.
What makes a place like Austnes special is not only what it offers today, but what it protects for those who will come after us.
To care for the river is not separate from the experience.
