• Sea trout and salmon fishing in the fantastic Eide watercourse

    Øvereidet offers good and varied fishing. Eidevatnet is considered to be one of the region’s best lakes for sea trout fishing and small salmon. The Øvereid river is a typical sea trout and small salmon river, approx. 150 m long and quite fast flowing. Fishing with worms/spinner is common, but fly fishing is also enjoyed. The outlet is long and narrow, and functions like a continuation of the river. Upstream of the cabin there is a large area both for inland fishing and sea trout and wild salmon.

  • Charming cabin with a view

    The log cabin and is approx. 20 m2. There is a seating area, dining alcove with propane cooker, propane fridge and pantry. The equipment needed for 4 persons is provided. A cellar keeps food cold. The cabin is fitted with a solar panel with 230 V converter and USB charger. There is a freezer at the car park.

    A separate approx. 20 m2 sleeping annex consists of two bedrooms with bunk beds, and an entrance for outer clothes. There is a separate woodshed and outside toilet.

  • Beautifully located far from any neighbours

    Øvereidet lies in beautiful surroundings right by the river that connects Fjellvatnet and Eidevatnet. One of Norway’s largest protected coniferous forest reserves lies right in front of the cabin.

    Even though the cabin lies many kilometres from its nearest neighbour, access to the cabin is easy. Park your car at Kalbekkvika, and drive the boat down Storvatnet and then Fjellvatnet to its outlet. From there, walk approx. 200 m to the log cabin. This location is suitable for 2–4 persons.

Where the Øvereidet river runs into lake Eidevatn is a great spot.

Øvereidet

The river is short and swift, but has a couple of good spots for fishing with angler worm.

The river is about 150 meters long, and is quite swift. The fishing in the river itself is more sensitive to the water flow compared to Sagmestereidet. At high or very low water flows, the fish mainly stands at the inlet/outlet of the river. The fishing in the two lakes is normally good throughout the season. In the main part of the river, you would normally choose to fish with angler worm. In the outlet, fly fishing and fishing with spoon/spinning bait is used. Our guests have exclusive rights for fishing on the riverbank closest to the lodge.

Lake Eidevatn

The river flows into the Eide lake. The fishing is normally good throughout the year. The few people that live in the area have fishing rights in this lake (maximum two boats). If this is your first time in this lake, we recommend a chat with one of the locals for tips on fishing techniques.

Lake Fjellvatnet, Storvatnet and other lakes

In Fjellvatnet and Storvatnet, the fishing is equally good, but the best season is from mid/end July.

The length of the water system (with sea trout and salmon) you can reach from this cabin is about 13 km. long. In the lower part you will mainly fish for sea trout and wild salmon. In the upper part (storvatnet/Fjellvatnet) there is also stationary trout. There is also arctic char in the main water system and in some of the smaller lakes

Guests at Øvereidet can also fish for trout and arctic char in mountain- or forest lakes. For more information browse through the album in this tab.

More info about the area

Øvereidet

In the narrow passage between the lakes Eidevatn and Fjellvatnet, potholes and deep furrows in the rocks are marks left by the glaciers that covered the land more than 10 000 years ago. The river connecting the two lakes flows swiftly past our cabin at Øvereidet. Even though the cabin lies several miles from its nearest neighbour, it is easily reached by boat, parking the car at Kalbekkvika.

The river is short and swift, but has a couple of good spots for fishing with angler worm. The inlet and outlet of the river provide good conditions, also for fly-fishing. The lakes are among the best in the region for sea trout and salmon fishing.

History of Øvereidet (Fjellet)

Fjellet

The farm, Fjellet, was first mentioned in 1667 under the name Kvastenbukt. The farm is, however, much older and was, like Søbergsli, part of the Norwegian/Danish king’s properties in Nordland and Troms. The King was forced to hand over his properties in northern Norway to pay off his war debts to the financier Jocum Irgens in 1666. Part of the land was later purchased by Julius Jakhelln in 1973 who built a sawmill on Risøya at the outlet of the Bindalsfjord. For further details, see under “About us, history”

Fjellet is part of the Plahte Estate in Bindal, bordering in the north and east to Brønnøy. It was one of the few farms in the area where the grain did not freeze. The last tenant at Fjellet was Albert Johansen from Hongbarstad, married to the daughter; Jenny, on the farm. This was in the 1930’s. Rivers and lakes had to be crossed to reach other farms and/or shops. At wintertime many people drowned when trying to cross the waters on insecure ice. Jenny and Albert Johansen lost two children in this tradgic way. They left the farm in 1949 to settle at Tjennesmyra at Kalbekkvika. Shortly after a heavy storm severly damaged the farm houses at Fjellet. All that remains today are the foundations of the main house.
