Zone 6 · River · Dovre

Gudbrandsdalslågen, Sone 6 (Dovre)

Lågen through Dovre, with both calmer stretches and harder current, and fishing for brown trout and grayling for the demanding fly angler and the worm angler alike. The zone sits high in the river system, above Harpefossen, so whitefish, perch and burbot are not found here.
