Övre Gla fiskevårdsområdesförening Welcome to Övre Gla fvof which includes Lake Övre Gla with surrounding lakes and ponds, a total of seven lakes and 32 ponds. The area is mostly located within Glaskogen's nature reserve, see www.glaskogen.se, midway between Årjäng and Arvika in western Värmland. The association was formed in 1944 and has since then carried out fishing promotion measures such as fish planting, biotope conservation work, removal of migration obstacles, laying out rice vases, etc.
Liming of the area's lakes and ponds started in the 1970s and has been ongoing annually since then. The area's lakes contain perch, pike, trout, roach, eel, whitefish, chub, salmon trout, roach, loach, minnow, tench and barbel. The area's ponds are mainly populated by perch.
The association's goal is to continue to develop fishing in a sustainable way. Income from fishing license sales is reinvested in biotope conservation work and fish promotion measures
