Sjoavassdraget: Fishing here is best from mid-June to late September. If the river has the familiar gray color "veolet", the catch is secured with earthworms. Fish sizes vary from small trout down in Heidal to larger and finer fish up through Sjodalen. At Gjende, fishing can sometimes be good, but knowledge and fishing luck are needed here as elsewhere in the village's waterways.
