The mighty Alta River is one of the worlds best salmon rivers, and flyfishers from all over the world wants to try their luck in the river. It is known for it’s unique and big atlantic salmon, and the fishing culture in Alta is very strong amongst the locals.

Back in 2020 I got my very first salmon in the Alta river, and since then I’ve been lucky enough to catch some great salmons in Alta. Ronga is a pool below the very famous Steinfossen. The Ronga Sweater is made to honor the river every flyfisher in the world knows about. Tight lines.
