Glomma fishing association offers a general license for all these areas. Glomma river is the most recognized fishing in the area and you will find it in god variation in pace and habitat. No matter what your style of fishing is, you will find it here in Glomma river. Glomma contains good numbers of fish and in good size as well. Every year travelers from all over Europe visit this region for fishing and recreation, many of them come for the popular grayling fishing.

However the fishing here is a lot more than the Glomma river. Many of its tributaries are well worth a go, and many of them contain big trout on feeding or spawning migration. The bulk of the fish in these places, admittedly, are smaller stationary fish.

The license also cover a number of forest and mountain lakes. Most a f them contain trout – often in co-existence with species like arctic char or perch. Some of the waters contain really big trout and can give you the experience of a lifetime. Some mountain lakes require for you to hike for a while, but at the end you will find wild un-caught fish and solitude.
