Namsen River - One of Norways best trout rivers

In the quiet and broad parts of the river, it is exciting to try fly and nymph fishing. In the parts of the river where there is a stronger current, worm and sinker fishing can be especially efficient.

The Namsen river is easily accessible as it runs parallel to the E6 through large parts of the municipality. If we are to come up with some specific tips, the area a few kilometers south of Brekkvasselv can be worth a try, as is the Fossan area south of Namsskogan town center. Thresholds have been built at Kjelmyrfoss and just north of Namsskogan town center. In the stream below the thresholds there are often fish.

Tunnsjøelva (tunnsjø river)

Tunnsjøelva is located in the south of the municipality. Here there is a river stretch of 20 km. The trout in Tunnsjøelva is of very good quality, especially in the lower part. On the stretch from the power plant outlet and down to the Namsen river there are many nice fishing spots, and some are arranged with bonfires and shelters. The area is inviting with many nice tent sites just off the river bank.

Mellingsvatnet

There is only trout to be found in Mellingsvatnet and it is known to be of very good quality. The water is 7 square kilometers and is varies in depth. There are many fine islets scattered throughout the lake, here it is nice to go ashore for a break. Boats can be rented separately. If you live in a mountain cabin, you will have access to a boat. Yarn fishing takes place only for a regulated period and with a limited number of yarns. At Mellingsvatnet it is also nice to go ice fishing.

Storgåsvatnet and Litlgåsvatnet

Litlgåsvatnet and Storgåsvatnet lie on a high mountain plateau in an area with inviting nature. There are many small and large fishing waters in the immediate vicinity. Only trout in Storgåsvatnet. Litlgåsvatnet has a very dense stock of char and the occasional nice trout along with the char. Ice fishing at Litlgåsvatnet is recommended together with children - here you are almost guaranteed a good catch!

Steinfjellet

The rocky mountain area is a wide mountain area with fishing waters in all directions. There are small and large areas of water with fish of all sizes. Mostly trout, but some ponds also have char. Namsskogan Fjellstyre has a cabin at Finntjønn. It is an excellent starting point for fishing in the northern part of Steinfjellet.

Skorovasfjella and Nessåvatna

Nessåvatna consists of 3 large waters with Midtivatnet as the "diamond" itself. Here you can catch both trout and char that weigh several kilos. There are marked hiking trails in from Skorovas and this makes the area easily accessible. The round trip from Skorovas via Nessåvatna and further out to Grøndalen is recommended along with your fishing rod.
