Welcome to Västra Valbo FVOF and the upper part of the Gavleån!
The area extends from downstream of Forsbacka mill to above Åbyfors power plant. Fishing is mainly focused on pike, perch and zander. Pike and perch are abundant, zander is more scarce. Many different species of carp swim in enormous quantities in the river, so there is plenty of food for the predators!
There is a small and fragile population of trout in the northern branch of the river from the upper and middle dams down to Gadö. Even occasional grayling can be found there. Measures are carried out annually with biotope care and releases to strengthen the population. This stretch is now open to barbless spinning and fly fishing with mandatory re-release of trout and grayling, see fishing rules and map for markings of the area.
Boat moorings are available for rent, contact us to get a number assigned. Payment and extension of existing boat moorings are made here at iFiske.
