Over 2000 fishing lakes on state commons between Snåsavatnet, Lierne and Sweden, plus the Bangsjø area. The lakes range from bog tarns in wooded valley floors to clear, deep mountain lakes in the high fells. Brown trout is the most common, with Arctic char and some burbot in places, and trout of 5-6 kg have been taken in the largest mountain lakes.
