Regionfelt Østlandet is a military firing range just north of Rena in Åmot. Brown trout live in nearly all the lakes, rivers and streams, and in the tarns the average length is around 20-30 cm, while the fish in the streams rarely grow over 20 cm. The Glesåtjern tarns and Finnskjeggtjernet are the best brown trout waters, and Deisjøen (388 m above sea level) and Flåtestøtjernet are good perch waters.
