Nord-Odal JFF manages the fishing in forest areas in Nord-Odal, and many of the lakes are easy to reach from forest roads. Otten, Vesleotten, Sætersjøen, Lognsjøen and Abbortjennet hold brown trout and perch, while Tjernsjøen and Gjeddevannet also hold roach and pike. The association stocks two- and three-year-old fish in waters such as Gardviktjennet, Aurtjennet, Eitjennet and Otten. Most roads have a toll paid by SMS.
