This pool lies right outside of Stuenes Lodge. The Homepool is an excellent beat with an even current, which delivers salmon every season. The pool has a

shoreline of roughly 250 meters.

Niittykuru & Sammunsari:

Niittykuru is a relatively long slow flowing stretch, but the flows are ideal for fly fishing. Here both sides of the river are included in the beat,
