The lakes are located in a beautiful landscape, mainly in the birch belt, with easily accessible terrain and great hiking opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fishing licence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fishing licences can be purchased via <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inatur.no\/fiske\/50eed1fee4b0eb579d78a394\/orretfiske-i-aljff\">inatur.no<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fishing rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no quota restrictions, but otter fishing is only permitted in Presttj\u00f8rni and Hesttjerni. Otherwise, the usual rules for sport fishing apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fishing tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fishing takes place in high-altitude mountain lakes, where you'll find good stocks of trout in all the lakes, and in Presttj\u00f8rni there are also whitefish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on general experience of high-mountain fishing, small lures and spinners often work well for active fishing along the banks, especially in the evenings. In smaller ponds, worms can be an effective alternative. In clear and shallow water, small flies and sober presentations can give good results. Early morning and late evening often provide the best conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From \u00c5l town centre, drive over the Hallingdalselva river, past the railway station and up towards Vest\u00e5sen. Follow the signs towards Rota. Here you will encounter a toll road with an automatic camera. Remember to pay the toll within 48 hours to avoid a fee. See map for access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accommodation <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topcamp.no\/topcamp-hallingdal\"><strong>Topcamp Hallingdal<\/strong> <\/a>is the nearest accommodation and offers modern cabins, campsites and facilities for families and anglers alike.
