Fishing tips
The Hallingdalselva river offers good opportunities for those who fish with worms or flies, but both lures and spinners can also be effective. Many of the local fishermen regularly get good catches, and it's often more about technique than equipment. To succeed here, you need to know the river, and the methods you read about from foreign fishing spots don't necessarily work as well in Ål.
Car park
Hallingdalselva in Ål is easily accessible from the E134 motorway. Several fishing spots are close to the road, and there are car parks at various points along the river.
