Fishing places in Fjella

The Fjella area in Indre Østfold, Marker and Rakkestad

There are a number of smaller rivers, ponds and lakes in Indre Østfold that are suitable for fishing. In particular, the Fjella area should be mentioned. Fjella are a large, contiguous forest area. It includes Trømborgfjella in Indre Østfold, Rakkestadfjella in Rakkestad and Vestfjella in Marker municipality. The name is probably a bit misleading because there are no large mountains here ( Fjella = mountains), but on the other hand a lot of stone and a hilly terrain dominated by pine and spruce forests.

Fjella consist of a number of lakes, where you can find ponds with large or lot of fish, and some water actually has both.

Eidsberg / Mysen

In the Fjella area east of Mysen there are a number of fishing license areas, with almost 100 ponds and lakes dominated by perch and trout. There are several lakes with pike and roach. The pike population in Fjella is not large. In some lakes you will also find Karuss, as well as earwigs and wood-spiked stingrays.

The largest fishing license areas are operated by Trømborg and Herland landowners 'associations JFF, Svarverud JFF and Hærland landowners' associations.
