The fishing season starts on 1 June and ends on  August 15th. The Årgård River is a typical grilse river where most of the salmon weigh an average of 1.2 - 1.6 kilos. During the first two weeks of the season before the grilse run starts most fish weigh 3 - 6 kilos.

From Midsummer and onwards, there is a steady run of grilse with peaks when the river rises because of rainfall.
