The Myrarkvisl is a very interesting river offering traditional pool and riffle water in the upper section, a canyon through the middle and meandering slow flows at the bottom. You can target good numbers of trout averaging 2 lbs with a few between 4-6 lbs. Dry flies and traditional nymphs work well and as the season progresses the chances of encountering salmon increase. Along with the river you also have access to a lake that has a good head of Arctic char (delicious eating if you want to take one or two for dinner). The river is limited to just four anglers.

For the 2017 season the river will be serviced by a newly built four-bedroom lodge, offering all the modern comforts an angler wants and great access to the river. The work is expected to be finished at the end of March in good time for the first anglers arriving.
