Aust-Torpa (Nordre Land)
Aust-Torpa lies in Nordre Land, about 15 km north-east of Dokka and about 40 km south-west of Lillehammer, and borders Gausdal, Lillehammer and Gjøvik. The association has about 80,000 decares, mostly higher conifer forest with bog, lakes and rivers, and also mountain areas. The fishing is for brown trout, and the stock varies: some lakes are stocked, while other lakes are fished too little. Most of the terrain is easy to reach.
