Åsnes Finnskog (Flisa)

The Åsnes JFF fishing area on Finnskogen covers the Flisa river, Kynna, Nyåa and a range of tarns and lakes. The lower Flisa runs slow and holds many species, with good perch and pike fishing, while the upper Flisa holds plenty of grayling and brown trout and has lean-to shelters and fire pits along the river. Lindsjøen is known for pike fishing, Gransjøen for perch, and Storabbortjernet has a large stock of perch and brown trout. Boats are free to use on Storabbortjernet, Lindsjøen and Gjerdsjøen.
