Hi.
You could try posting this on Fluefiske.net or Fluefiskesiden.no
The two largest flyfishing related sites in Norway.

I have found when travelling around Norway that asking at local petrol stations close to lakes or rivers is a good place to start. Very often they will be selling permits to local waters.

Provided the river does not have a good run of salmon I have found that local landowners/farmers are quite willing to let you fish for trout on the fly, often for free or for a very nominal charge. They are very accommodating, but the key is to ask and not assume. Most small towns have local waters where fishing is free: typically lakes and short sections of rivers connecting lakes. Most rivers and lakes carry a large population of trout: most will be relatively small (6-8"), although there are better trout of up to 1lb in most. The good quality fish (2 lb+) are typically out in deeper water in the lakes and are difficult to access with a fly unless you have a boat/canoe/float tube.

The wild brownies are typically free rising and will be looking up. I usually fish with dry flies (grenadier [soldier palmer without the red tag], black hoppers, CDC&Elk, small klinks) or unweighted nymphs (PTNs, diawl bachs, crunchers, north country spiders).

Salmon fishing season ends 31 August in Norway although some rivers might be open till 15 September but as far as I know, no rivers in the mentioned area have this late fishing. The salmon catches have declined dramatically on the west coast area due to the fish farming effect on migrating smolt and this has forced the authorities to shorten the fishing season for salmon and sea trout.
Ålesund is my home town and the closest rivers are the Stordal, Valldal, Bondal and Ørsta. In the Olden area you have the Olden, Eid, Stryn etc. Have a look at The Salmon Atlas: World Maps of Atlantic Salmon, Pacific Salmon, Steelhead and Sea Trout.
