Ärrsjön – a scenic fishing spot in the heart of Dalsland Ärrsjön is a beautiful and varied forest lake in Dalsland that offers calm and pleasant fishing in a scenic environment. The lake is surrounded by forests, mountains and bays with good habitats for several of our most common lake species and is a popular fishing spot for both locals and visitors. Fishing is conducted with a strong focus on sustainable management, where the goal is to preserve a viable fish population while the lake offers good opportunities for enjoyable sport fishing throughout the year.
Fish species In Ärrsjön you can find, among other things: Pike Perch Roach Rook Brake Lake Eel (protected – to be reintroduced) Rainbow)
The pike and perch fishing is periodically of very good quality and is suitable for both spin fishing and angling and trolling.

Sustainable fish conservation Ärrsjön's Fish Conservation Area Association is working long-term to develop fishing through, among other things: * fish conservation measures. * protection of playgrounds * monitoring of fish stocks. * improved accessibility * information and fishing supervision The goal is that Ärrsjön will continue to offer attractive fishing for future generations.
Fishing rules In order to maintain a strong fish population, we ask all anglers to follow the current rules. We especially recommend: * show consideration for spawning fish * release large pikes * only catch fish that are used as food * leave nature in the same condition as you found it Current fishing rules can be found under the **Fishing rules** tab. Dietary advice As for many Swedish lakes, the Swedish National Food Agency has general dietary advice for the consumption of certain larger predatory fish, especially pike and large perch, as they can contain elevated levels of mercury. For most people who fish and eat fish occasionally, this normally does not mean any restrictions. People who regularly eat fish they catch themselves, as well as children and pregnant women, should follow the Swedish National Food Agency's current dietary advice. The Public Works Administration in Åmål Municipality writes, "Due to health risks, we advise against eating fish from Ärr and crayfish from northern Ärr."
