In the heart of Telemark lies Vrådal, a paradise for sport fishing enthusiasts. The lakes Nisser and Vråvatn offer rich fishing grounds — here you can catch trout, perch, char, and whitefish. Fishing permits are easily available at the Vrådal tourist office or at Straand Hotel.

​

When to Fish?

The best catches are usually made in June and August. In the height of summer, the water often gets too warm, causing the fish to retreat to cooler, deeper areas.

Fishing Permits and Regulations

Vrådal Fiskelag, a local landowners’ association, offers fishing permits for most of Vråvatn, the upper part of Nisser, and several mountain lakes. Fishing with an otter board is permitted in these waters.

Children and youth under 16 fish for free. Permits are available at the tourist office and Straand Hotel.
