🇳🇴 Fishing in Femund
Norway's third-largest lake — crystal-clear fishing in Femundsmarka
Femund (also Femunden) is Norway's third-largest lake and one of the country's most iconic fishing destinations. Sitting 662 m above sea level in Femundsmarka National Park, it straddles the border between Innlandet and Trøndelag. Anglers target brown trout, arctic char, grayling, whitefish and pike — fish grow slowly but reach impressive sizes in the pure, oligotrophic fjell water.
