The fishing on the Hofsa has been slow this year. But we are seeing large fish, and yesterday a fish of 104 cm was caught on beat 7. Hofsa is up to 440 salmon today, September 5th.

Laxa in Dolum has been very good this summer. Today we went over 1000 salmon for total for the 4-6 rods fishing. We still have this month to fish, and if we get good conditions we will get close to last years total of 1.400 salmon. There are large salmon being caught - and lost. Biggest one up to date is 22 pounds from Gislakvorn and 20 pounds from Kristnipollur. Large salmon was lost on Wednesday when angler played a monster for 2 hours and 15 minutes in Hofdafljot. The fish was lost in landing.

The first group on the Svalbardsa caught 26 salmon. This is the best opening since 2010. However, the group that came after did even better and landed 30 salmon, with 13 large salmon from the canyon in one afternoon shift. This is a fantastic start of the season and the river is full with big fish and high average weight

Last week produced 103 salmon for only 4 rods on Laxa in Dolum. This was mostly large salmon, with only few grilse amongst them. The river is up to 131 salmon already after only 9 days of fishing for 3-4 rods. Grilse runs appeared on Wednesday, so we are hoping that this good fishing continues for the coming groups.

The fishing on the Kjos is better than last year. We are 60 salmon ahead compared to last year's statistics. The difference now is that fish is spread all over the system and average weight is much higher than in previous years. We have a good number of fish between 80 and 95 cm in the river. Anglers are seeing the first signs of grilse and large sea-trout, and the meadows are now building up with large sea-trout in the 5-12 lbs range.

Looking back over the 2015 season is quite something. Last season produced 760 landed salmon for 2-3 rods, and only 75 days fished. We had very strong runs of grilse, with average weight of 7 lbs. This is unusual for Svalbardsa, since average weight has often been around 12 lbs.
Multi sea winter salmon were 244 in total, 32.2% of landed fish. We have seen this up to 80% in recent years.

We have two rods available for the week August 14th-20th on Laxa in Kjos this summer. Fishing is done from lunch - lunch. Anglers have the possibility to share a rod, but still stay in single rooms. More information:
