Norway’s Glomma River, the country’s longest waterway, offers an unforgettable fly fishing experience, particularly along the stretch between Atna and Hovda. With its dynamic mix of fast and slow-moving waters, diverse fish populations, and unique geographical features, this river is a dream destination for anglers.
A Diverse Aquatic Playground
The Glomma is teeming with fish species, making every cast an exciting prospect. The dominant catch here is the prized Grayling, but the river also hosts:
