Tovdalselva
From Herefossfjorden to Birkeland
Picture from the area at Birkenes Kirke
This is one of the most interesting areas regarding flyfishing for brownies.
The fish is a bit bigger downstream from Herefossfjorden, and fish on +0.5 kg is
often caught. The river offer good currents, but upstream from Birkenes church
the river is tranquil.
The area at Senumstad is said to hold a number of fine trout as well as perch
witch is also caught on the fly here.
The salmon, wich are likely to return here after some years of liming, is expected
to reduce the stock of trout in this area. The waterfall Herefossen used to be
to hard to pass for the salmon and is still regarded the upper limit of the
to be salmon
bearing part of the river.
Lincences that covers this area and Oggevatn (see map) is obtainable in a lot of
gas stations and shops in the area. The price is NOK 25.- a day.
