Skoganvarre is an excellent base for salmon fishing in the area. Skoganvarre Turist & Camping is located on the border of fishing zones 4 and 5. We are able to provide all necessary fishing licenses and Norwegian National Fishing Fees. You can also get your equipment disinfected with us. Notice that disinfecting your fishing equipment is precondition for acquiring the fishing license. We want to keep our rivers clean of the salmon parasite Gyrodactulys Salaris, and this requires your co-operation.
