Hallingdalselva

After Nesbyen the river is slow and large. In the Bromma area it expands into pools as wide as lakes before shrinking back into to a river-shape down towards Flå and finally the Lake Krøderen. Downstream of Nesbyen the trout share the river with whitefish which are underestimated by fly-fishers, in my opinion. Most consider whitefish a «side-effect» of trout-fishing, but intentionally fished for it presents a real challenge.

Some good advice:
Use small flies, strike gently and play it carefully. Whitefish have small mouths with poor hooking ability. Don't judge the size of the fish by its wake, even a two-pounder shows itself off rather modestly. Big trout are also to be found in this part of the river and present a difficult target even for the skilled fisherman. These trout prey on small whitefish and fry.
