Fishing conditions and tips
Want to believe in fishing luck? The best times to try fly or worm at Dyrkornvatnet are early morning or late afternoon, when the trout is most active. If you’re aiming for the big ones, head towards the deeper parts of the lake, preferably near the stone embankment or where mountain streams hide under the surface. Local fishermen love to share tricks: try varied lures or flies that mirror the insects in the area, and feel free to cast against the wind for a natural drift of the bait. And remember – patience is just as important as fishing luck, because here you fish with your heart as much as with your hands.
