The fly fishing zone of Grimsa and part of Folla is about 18 km long, and offers a good variety of rapids and quiet water. It`s easy accessible and holds both big trout and big grayling. A very scenic river with mountain ranges and beautiful forest as a backdrop. 

The bigger fish are not easy to catch, but with skill and a little luck trophy grayling and wild brown trout can be caught.  Grimsa has a fly-fishing zone of about 18 kilometers and there is only ten licenses available each day, to regulate the fishing pressure. The river varies between fast rapids and nice calm sections and the river is easily accessible.
