Southern Norway · Lake · Åseral, Lyngdal

An umbrella scheme for all the fishing clubs in Åseral, plus Sveindal in Audnedal, with brown trout as the dominant species. Some lakes still hold brook trout after stocking in the 1980s. Øre and Monn hold a lot of small fish, while smaller mountain lakes can give fish up to a kilo. Lognavatn and Torsland are adapted for wheelchair users.
