Gear and lures

  • Spinning

    Lures in the mountain lakes

    Spoons and spinners in the larger lakes. Forollsjøen suits anglers with the patience to wait for the big fish, and lure anglers do well there.

  • Fly

    Fly in tarns and shallow lakes

    Class 4-6. The shallow Fjellsjøen and the tarns in the Østgård area suit the fly rod. The Skrukka fly-fishing zone needs its own card.

  • Bait

    Worm for family fishing

    Worm and float in the Vangrøfta lakes, where the chance of a fish is high. Permitted tackle is fly, worm and lure.
