Hembre Farm Fishings, Stjørdal River

19.5 kilos sdalmon caught below Hembre Bridge 2010.

Hembre Farm holds 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) double bank fishing and is one of the best beats on the Stjordal River accounting for approx. 10% of the river’s total catches.

Six to eight guests are normally accommodated at Hembre Farm and a rota system is in place for fishing additional beats when all 8 rods are occupied. This enables anglers to try out different stretches of the river and offers the benefit of some extra 3.5 kilometres (2.0 miles) of good fly-fishing on neighbouring stretches. 

The total annual catches of the Hembre fishing is in the region of 200 salmon and the average weight is around 4.5kg (10.0lbs). The Hembre beat, 25 kilometres (15.5 miles) above the river mouth, has some excellent long stretches combined with good holding pools. In particular, Hembre’s Home pool below the Hegra Bridge includes a number of ‘hot-spots’.

During the latter part of the season there are good opportunities for sea trout. In addition you can fish for brown trout in local lakes.

There are normally two guides per group of 6-8 anglers, but extra guides are usually available on request.

The Accommodation
Hembre Farm, a working farm, has a long tradition of welcoming foreign guests. The Hembre fishing lodge has 8 self-contained apartments with plenty of space for one or two people. Facilities include toilet, shower, electric heating and each flat has a fully equipped kitchenette. There is a laundry room, drying facilities and rod stacks available. The lodge is located just 300 m away from Hegra Village with its bank, grocery store and other services.

All evening meals are prepared, arranged and served in the "Stabbur". This is originally the old farm-store house that has been converted into resting lounge, dining room and a small farm museum, decorated with many antiques, tools and gadgets from the early farming and fishing days.

With its unique character, it's the perfect place for any fishing party to relax and enjoy each other's company after a fishing day. During the fishing season, the "Stabbur" has a "pub night" every Wednesday where the guests at Hembre can meet some of the locals to exchange fishing lore over a drink or two, and to enjoy some very special homemade snacks and brews.
