Fishing in Glomma

Do you like fishing? The Glomma is actually a very popular fishing river. Species such as pike, perch, trout and grayling are found here, and many locals make the trip down to the riverbank with a rod and thermos. Some hunt for the big catch. Others just enjoy the calm, the sound of the water and the feeling of the line gliding through the air. But what really happens when the fish meet the power plant? A special fish ladder has been built at the Rånåsfoss power station. It makes it possible for the fish to swim past the power plant and further up the river to spawn. The fish ladder leads the fish safely past the obstacle – an important measure to preserve life in the river. This is how nature and technology meet again. Power production on one side – and a living river on the other. Perhaps it is precisely here, on a quiet evening along the banks, that you can feel why so many people enjoy Glomma.
