The River Vangrøfta, also known by the name  “Skrukka” by Norwegian fly fishers, is a perfect river for those fly fishers that like to hunt for wild trophy brown trout. This river has a limited number of licenses available each day. This ensures that you will have plenty of river stretch at your disposal, and keeps fishing pressure down.

The fly fishing zone is approximately 15 km long, and is limited to 10 licenses per day for the whole river stretch.

Fishing license

Prices: 220,- NOK per day.

Fishing license can be obtained online, or from vendors in the district.
