At a Glance
Nygard Lodge provides an all-inclusive fly fishing experience...
Located in Vindøla, Nygard Lodge has operated since 2007 as a dedicated Atlantic salmon fly-fishing destination on the Surna River system. The lodge accommodates 14 guests across the main lodge, a separate house, and outbuildings, with all-inclusive packages covering lodging, meals, guided fishing, and equipment (rods, waders, jackets). The Surna's prime pools—Advokaten, Sæterhølen, and Talgøypollen—are known for holding large, fresh-run salmon; early-season (June) fishing demands heavier tackle (14–16' rods, sinking lines) as fish are strong from the sea, while mid-to-late summer (July–August) often calls for lighter presentations as water levels drop and salmon become more selective. The lodge emphasizes catch-and-release, particularly for large females, to sustain the fishery. Access is straightforward from Trondheim or Kristiansund airports, with a scenic drive through Norwegian countryside.

Fishing methods and approaches
The fishing year at Nygard Lodge is defined by the Atlantic Salmon's annual run up the Surna River, with the season officially running from June 1st to September 1st. Early summer, particularly June, calls for heavier gear – think 14' to 16' rods and sinking lines – as the salmon are typically strong and fresh from the sea. As the season progresses into July and August, the water levels may recede, and the salmon can become more selective, often favoring lighter tackle like 12' to 14' rods with lighter lines. The lodge's prime waters, including the legendary Advokaten, Sæterhølen, and Talgøypollen pools, are known for holding large salmon, with average weights around 10 pounds, and catches can range from 200 to 600 fish per season. The lodge emphasizes catch and release, especially for large females, to ensure the health of the salmon population for future generations.
