It’s the International year of the Salmon and the river owner of the famous Aaroy river in Norway, Knut Munthe Olsen, has kindly donated two days of salmon fishing, lodging and food to raise awareness about the situation for the Atlantic Salmon.

These two days of fabulous fishing can be yours! (have a look at Knut's Facebook pictures from this season).

Everybody can participate in the draw. The winner will fish with a small group of other dedicated fishermen, so here's a great opportunity to meet new fishing friends as well. And, you and the group will actually have the whole river to yourselves. No more than 4 rods for the whole river.
