As
a former Norwegian- and Nordic ice fishing champion I can guide you to exciting
experiences on our ice covered waters, hunting for char, brown trout, grayling,
whitefish, perch, borbut, pike or whatever you would prefer. 
Ice fishing season: In Trysil you may have good ice fishing throughout
the whole winter, but the best season for most of the species are from the middle
of March to the beginning of May.
Weather
and temperature: People from further south in Europe usually think: Ice fishing?
Nix, too cold. It is not! The sunside temperature in April may come up in more
than +20 C. You also get a nice suntan because of the reflex from snow and ice
that might get your neighbours to ask if you have been in the Canaries or something.
In March and April we often have long periods with stabile high pressures and
therefore nice weather both for the fishermen and the fish.

Actual species on the ice: These species are available within reasonable
distance of driving (less than 1 hour) Char, brown trout, grayling, whitefish,
perch, burbot and pike. We have got two high quality char waters within the community.
Brown trout is common in most of the waters, and a few waters are really hot spots.
The grayling can be found both in the Trysil river and in some of the waters.
This fish does not have a good quality for eating at this time of the year so
I would recommend that if a grayling is hooked, release it. It comes back in the
summer in a much better condition, and if you are lucky it rises for just your
fly! Ice
fishing for whitefish has become very popular. With a strong population
of big whitefish in our river, there is no risk decimating this fish by sports
fishing. As the whitefish not always is in the mood for taking a bite, it sometimes
might be a trial to your patience. However, for those who are fed up with catching
small fish, the whitefish, because of its size, is an interesting challenge.

district can also offer you perch of good quality both for the sport and
for the table. 
The
butbot is looked upon by some fishermen as fish of lower rank because of
its appearance, - but it has other qualities. This fish is always a success on
the table. When the burbot can be both big and strong, and also prefers cold water,
the ice fishing gives you good chances to come in touch with a real fighter. The
burbot is found in most of our waters and rivers. Fishing for burbot is in fact
quite exotic, not least for the reason that this specie is most active during
the dark hours. 
Pike
is the favourite fish among many fishermen. Ice fishing for it may sometimes wear
on your patience, but suddenly it is there, big and heavy. Some other times you
can experience that the pikes uninhibited are attacking your bait. The pike is
available in many of our waters and rivers, and we do have some real pearls as
pike fishing are concerned. 
Fishing equipment: I have got all the equipment you need for ice fishing.
Guiding: Ice fishing has been one of my main sports for many years. I have
also for many years taken part in ice fishing competitions. Even if modesty is
the best policy, I may mention that I was Nordic champion 1990 and Norwegian champion
1995. With experience from various forms of ice fishing through the years and
pedagogical "luggage" from teaching for 30 years, I feel well prepared to help
just you to an interesting and unforgettable fishing trip on our ice covered waters.
