Trøndelag · River · Snåsa

About 9 km of river from Kleivfossen to the outlet, an important spawning river for Snåsavatnet. Large trout run up in spring and autumn, and the biggest in recent times weighed 12.2 kg. Two fishing spots have asphalted ramps, a shelter and a toilet, also accessible for people with greater physical disabilities. Stained river water, so warmer, high-contrast colours.
