Gear:
Lakselv features a natural design an in stream architecture perfectly
suited for Spey rods. Mending and controlling line is also easier
with a 2-hander. Use 7- to 9-weights from 12 to 14 feet long. If
you’re new to Spey casting, our guides are all expert instructors and
will help you learn quickly. Lighter switch rods are increasingly
popular and allow anglers to cast a comfortable line all day long
with less effort.
Choose a quality reel with a powerful, adjustable drag. Reels (and
spare spools) should have enough capacity for your fly line and
150+ yards of 30-pound backing. We recommend reels from Sage
or Saracione that produce several options perfectly suited for the
Lakselv.
To be well prepared for Lakselv, anglers should include at least
three lines to accommodate varying water levels and wind
conditions. Floating lines are most useful during low-water
conditions and in the early morning and evening hours, integrated
sinking- tip lines also work great, while intermediate/sinking lines
are also effective in some conditions.
The guides on Olderø fly fishing Lodge highly recommend the
RIO Versitip short system, especially now with the new belly’s and
tips the system is now 100 % complete and suits our waters very
well.
Plan to bring a good selection of flies, however, some “secret”
guide flies and local fly patterns, as well as a modest supply of
back-up tackle, in therms of rods, reels, lines, leaders, tippet and
hooks will be available for purchase at the “The last hope” flyshop.
Wading isn’t difficult on the Lakselv. However, we recommend
chest waders for warmth, to get to that occasionally shed cut bank,
and to manage deeper water when/if crossing the river.
Bring a good pair of wading boots with felt or rubber soles (with
cleats). Use gravel guards and be sure to bring a wading belt. A
wading staff is optional, but can come in handy if you need
