Narsjøen og Nøra (Nørdalen, Os)

A joint licence area for the villages of Narjordet and Narbuvoll in Os, just south of Røros, with Narsjøen (737 m above sea level) and the Nøra river on the same licence. The river holds brown trout, grayling and pike, with trout and grayling up to about a kilo. The lake holds brown trout, Arctic char, grayling, whitefish, burbot and pike, and the whitefish have become fewer and larger since the Narsjø project started. A road runs along the lake and the river, so the area is easy to reach.
