High ­mountain ­fishing ­in ­Dindalen, ­Norway

One thing one should not miss out on when fishing in Norway is trout fishing in mountainous areas such as Dindalen. It does require some hiking and you do need to do your research before walking in mountains, but you are in for some beautiful scenery and good fishing. This valley is situated in the northern parts of Snøhetta in Sundalsfjella National park.

The fishing
The fishing can be done in both lakes and rivers. Of the lakes its worth mantioning Store Veggavatnet , Nordre Snøfjellstjern, Måstjern, Kvitbekktjern and Svartdalsbotten.  Between the lakes Snøfjellstjern and Veggavatnet you will find Fiskbekken wich is easely accesseble. The Fiskbekken creek produces a lot of creek trout, well suted for the pan. In the Veggavatnet lake you can catch quite a few fish of around 3-500 g. You can also get in touch with fish up to two kilos. But for that we really recommend a trip to Snøfjellstjern. .

Rich and vounrable nature
The landscape you enter here is breathtaking. You will find a rich wildlife, including reindeer from from Snøhetta, moose, red deer, roe deer and a variety of rare birds. The area has been used for hundreds of years, and there is a large network of animal graves throughout the area. A rich flora compliments the many stone formations and rock gardens, sandwiched between the round mountains of Trøndelag and the steep mountainsides and deep valleys of western Norway. The license and other information you will find here.
