For me Eidselva is first of all a early season river with good chances of catching fish over 10 kilos. Over the last few years the stock of heavy early fish has declined, so something has to be done to protect this resource. Later in the season it is possible to catch both salmon, grilse and sea trout in the river, the sea trout can be of superb size and quality. The river is divided into several beats, most of them accessible to visiting anglers. One good place to check for licenses is the sporte quipment shop in the village.
All beats have a maximum number of rods, so there are normally no problems with crowding.
The water is very clear, so for low water fishing it is necessary to be very careful not to frighten the fish. For sea trout in July and August night fishing is advisable. Later on I go down in size, and in late season a 5-6 weight rod and a fine leader is nice for grilse and sea trout. I like small wet flies in size 8-12.
