The fish here

  • Brown trout

    Active at first light and dusk. Lures and flies. Fish along edges, inlets and rocks.

  • Grayling

    Loves nymphs and small dry flies. A discreet presentation in clear water. Common in Lågen.

  • Arctic char

    Often in deeper water in mountain lakes. Small spoons in red or natural colours. Best morning and evening.

  • Whitefish

    Hard to catch on lures, usually taken on net or worm. Rarely a sport target, but present in many waters.

  • Perch

    A shoaling fish. Small jigs, worms and spinners. Coloured water can take louder colours.

  • Pike

    Big, visible baits. A wire trace is a must. Shallow water early and late in the season.

Other fish in the water

  • Burbot

Recorded by fish surveys in or next to this water (Artskart: NINA and Vannmiljø). Not all are sport fish; several are forage or introduced species.
