Try fishing in Innerdalen

The area offers great brown trout fishing, but in some hollows and lakes you can also catch trout well over half a kilo. With a fishing license, you can fish in all rivers and lakes on our property. Storvatnet, in Giklingdalen, has its own fishing license with stricter rules.
