There is organised parking along the lake and the road is ploughed even in winter. The water is easily accessible and there are many good fishing spots from the shore, especially on the west side, where the road runs along the shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fishing licence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Day passes from NOK 50, weekly and season passes are also available. Fishing licences can be purchased via inatur.no<\/a> or in a box opposite Hallingdal Nature and Environment Centre in the middle of Vats.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fishing rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Otter fishing is not permitted. The lower part of the water is private and marked with boundary posts, see map below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fishing tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to local experience, it is best to use flies in the upper part of Vatsfjorden. Otherwise, both worms and lures work well along the shore. There are several accessible fishing spots on the side where the road runs, and early morning and late evening often provide the best conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Turn off national road 7 at Hallingm\u00f8blar and follow Nordbygdvegen for about 16 kilometres towards Vats and the Bergsj\u00f8 area. There is good signposting all the way. There are organised parking spaces along the lake, and the road is also ploughed in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accommodation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are several good accommodation options in the immediate area. Skarslia Apartments<\/strong> <\/a>and Vats Mountain Lodge<\/strong> <\/a>are both located a short distance from the Vatsfjord, providing good access to both summer and winter fishing. Here you can stay comfortably with mountain nature right outside your door, and combine your fishing trip with hike<\/a>, horse riding<\/a>, cycling<\/a> or ski<\/a> by season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
