Today we visited a really cool farmhouse at the end of a Fjord. The family owned land boasts geothermal pool(s), horseback riding, fishing for Atlantic salmon, brown trout, and arctic char. The salmon can be caught in the river 100m from the house! Last year the patriarch of the family landed a 30 pounder! Since it was too early in the season for the salmon to run up the river, we took a 4x4 ride up a mountain to a lake filled with brown trout and arctic char. The bait was frozen pieces of frozen mackerel on a hook. Cathy landed a beautiful one ... see the pics!
