With a wide variety of lakes, rivers and mountain lakes, Vinje is a dream town for those who enjoy fishing. Whether you’re looking for big fish or just want to enjoy a quiet day at the lake with your family, you’ll find great fishing opportunities here.
Vinje municipality is home to hundreds of small and large lakes, which together cover around 250 km². The calcareous bedrock has protected the lakes and rivers from acidification, resulting in high quality fish. Brown trout and char thrive here, and the rich supply of crustaceans gives the fish their characteristic red-colored flesh.
The Rauland, Haukeli and Vinje areas offer a variety of fishing opportunities. In order to fish, you must buy a fishing license for the lake or watercourse you wish to fish in.
Children under the age of 16 can fish for free, but must bring a valid ID. Fishing licenses can easily be purchased via Inatur. For more detailed information about fishing opportunities in Vinje, see the Fishing Guide.
So grab your fishing rod and enjoy nature – dirty fishing!
