Veafjorden
Some decades ago, Veafjord and the currents in toward the bigger rivers were the most likely places to see harbour seals in Hordaland. In the summer flocks lay on the beach and waited for the salmon to trickle in. Sometimes they also followed the fish a little way up the river.
Sandvin
It is not easy to know what the conditions are at the nesting grounds when one is far away in winter - perhaps in France or the Mediterranean. At Sandvin the birds who arrive in the country a week too early, have to wait patiently for the snow in the mountains or on the fields to melt.
Ekso
In the late 1800s, Ekso was known among the nobility in England as having among the best salmon rivers. In summer the Lords could haul in big fish of up to 25 kg. In return, the townsfolk were paid for fishing rights, lodging and local assistance.
