For the dedicated fly fisher, Nygard Lodge is the stuff of dreams.
With 3 kilometres of exclusive, private water on the legendary Surna, you have access to one of the very finest stretches of fly-fishing river in Norway. The Surna is a national salmon river renowned for its large fish — and here the conditions are perfectly suited to the ultimate, most elegant form of the sport.
The fishing unfolds in some of the river's most celebrated and historic salmon pools.
Follow the river from Ørastraumen down to Bjorhølen. Select a pool to read more.
Morning mist over the Surna — the great moments so often arrive in the stillness.
You are driven to and from the river in the lodge's own Hardy Mobile — a beautifully restored 1975 Land Rover. The British classic lends the fishing day an incomparable, nostalgic air.
There are no logistics to worry about. The lodge provides all the fishing tackle you need, of the highest quality, along with a dedicated drying room and rod room.
For those wishing to perfect their technique — or who are new to the sport — bespoke guiding and professional casting tuition are offered on the riverbank.









We host groups only. The entire beat is let from Saturday to Wednesday, or Wednesday to Saturday. Two parties of up to five rods may also share the beat, rotating at midnight.
Accommodation in the lodge and the main house, meals and guiding are arranged as part of your stay.
