Nausta is a river in Sunnfjord Municipality in Vestland county, Norway.

The river begins at the lake Inste Langevatnet, which sits high up in the mountains at an elevation of 1,390 metres (4,560 ft) above sea level.

The stretch from the fjord to the Hovefoss waterfall is also good for sea trout fishing.

[1] The salmon and sea trout season runs from 1 June until 31 August each year.

The landowners have set a limit of catching one salmon under 2.5 kilograms (5.5 lb) per day.
