Åsnes Finnskog offers a varied range of fishing opportunities. Discover mysterious ponds, fish in the idyllic Flisa river or in easily accessible lakes. The fishing license for Åsnes JFF is valid from Flisaelva (the mouth of Lindåa) to Libergsfossen.
Furthermore, it is valid in all waters south of Lindåa and east of Kynna. In addition, it applies in Kynna from Våler municipal boundary and to the outlet in Flisaelva. Furthermore, the card is also valid in Nyåa. You can, among other things, fish in the still-flowing and species-rich Nedre Flisa. The river boasts very good perch and pike fishing. In the upper parts of the Flisaelva you will find a lot of grayling and trout. The river is described as a perfect place for fly fishing, it is easy to wade and the area is easily accessible by road. There are a dozen or so shelters and fireplaces along the watercourse.
